Over the past 2,500 years, our understanding of medicine has undergone a remarkable transformation. A Cultural History of Medicine, a comprehensive and interdisciplinary overview of the cultural history of medicine from ancient times to modernity, provides a definitive reference work on the subject. With six highly illustrated volumes spanning 2500 years of human history, this series offers a comprehensive exploration of the cultural aspects of medicine. Each volume is edited by a dedicated individual to ensure cohesion and ease of use, with chapter titles identical across all volumes. This allows readers to choose to read about a specific period in one volume or follow a theme across history by reading the relevant chapter in each of the six. The six volumes cover various periods, including Antiquity (500BCE - 800 CE), Middle Ages (800 - 1450), Renaissance (1450 - 1650), Age of Enlightenment (1650 - 1800), Age of Empire (1800 - 1920), and Modern Age (1920 - 2000+). Themes such as environment, food, disease, animals, objects, experiences, the mind, and authority are explored in detail. The page extent for the pack is approximately 1,728 pp, with c. 240 b/w illustrations. Each volume opens with Notes on Contributors and an Introduction and concludes with Notes, Bibliography, and an Index. The Cultural Histories Series, of which A Cultural History of Medicine is a part, offers both printed hardcover sets for libraries and a fully-searchable digital library available to institutions. This comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach to the cultural history of medicine provides a valuable resource for scholars, researchers, and anyone interested in the history of medicine and its cultural significance.
