Medical Knowledge by Clive Seale
Drawing on an authorship which includes sociologists and historians, this book takes the reader through medical theory and practice in a variety of cultures and historical periods. It raises questions about the status and use of scientifically-based medical knowledge in western society today.
After a considerable period, we are at last presented with a introductory text which does not patronise the undergraduate student with over-simple explanations nor overwhelm with theory and specialist jargonSeale and Pattison provide an interesting, well written and imaginatively illustrated book, abounding in historical drawings andphotographs. It is full of lively discussions and offers thoroughly useful information about some of the many forms of medical knowledge and medical practice. - A.N.Z.J.S.
