This history book charts the history of medicine. It gives us the opportunity as never before to assess its culture and science and its costs and benefits to mankind.
Porter explores medicine's evolution against the backdrop of the wider religious, scientific, philosophical, and political beliefs of the culture in which it develops, covering ground from the diseases of the hunter-gatherers to the more recent threats, from the clearly defined conviction of the Hippocratic oath to the muddy ethical dilemmas of modern-day medicine.
Offering up a trove of historical surprises along the way, this book is the standard single-volume work in its field.
