A Brief History of Disease,Science and Medicine: From the Ice Age to the Genome Project

Michael T Kennedy, "A Brief History of Disease,Science and Medicine: From the Ice Age to the Genome Project"
English | ISBN: 0974946648, 0974946656 | 2004 | 512 pages | PDF | 43 MB

This fascinating book is an up-to-date history of medicine and medical science. The book begins with a fascinating look at medicine and diseases from prehistoric times to the early nineteenth century, when so little of such things were truly understood. Then, the pace of the book picks up, when the speed of breakthroughs in medical understanding and technology began to simply explode. And then, the final, more modern, chapters spread out, covering everything from DNA and anesthesia to the economics of medicine.
This book was originally designed with medical students and young physicians in mind, but it is no dry textbook. Instead, this book is a fascinating read, covering a whole lot of subjects, without becoming boring. What I especially liked was that the author obviously deeply understands non-Western medicine, and he made sure to include in it in the book. This book is a great read with lots of fascinating information. Overall, I found this to be a fascinating and highly informative book, and I highly recommend it to you!
