Zusatztext

'This easy to read and engaging book offers a comprehensive overview of the history of medicine in modern Britain, including　the various approaches, sources and terminology used by medical historians. I enthusiastically recommend this book to students as an up-to-date introduction to the history of medicine that identifies geographical variations in British　experiences of health and medicine, and that touches upon recent research themes such as ‘health’ and ‘domestic’ medicine'.
