In Privacy and the Past, medical historian Susan C. Lawrence explores the impact of these new privacy rules.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51008209027345,"sku":"NIN9780813574363","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52595477676305,"sku":"NLS9780813574363","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0813574366.jpg?v=1786059580"},{"product_id":"charitable-knowledge-book-susan-c-lawrence-9780521363556","title":"Charitable Knowledge","description":"Charitable Knowledge explores the interconnections between medical teaching, medical knowledge, and medical authority in eighteenth-century London. The metropolis lacked a university until the nineteenth century, so the seven major voluntary hospitals - St Bartholomew's, St Thomas's, Guy's, the Westminster, St George's, the Middlesex, and the London - were crucial sites for educating surgeons, surgeon-apothecaries, and visiting physicians. Lawrence explains how charity patients became teaching objects, and how hospitals became medical schools. She demonstrates that hospital practitioners gradually gained authority within an emerging medical community, transforming the old tripartite structure into a loosely unified group of de facto general practitioners dominated by hospital men. As hospital physicians and surgeons became the new elite, they profoundly shaped what counted as 'good' knowledge among medical men, both in the construction of clinical observations and in the proper use of science.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51738782859537,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51738783056145,"sku":"GOR006815651","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52144957161745,"sku":"NLS9780521363556","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780521363556.jpg?v=1786115389"},{"product_id":"charitable-knowledge-book-susan-c-lawrence-9780521525183","title":"Charitable Knowledge","description":"Charitable Knowledge explores the interconnections between medical teaching, medical knowledge, and medical authority in eighteenth-century London.

Among the many topics covered in the volume is the federal government's experiment in compensated emancipation, which went into effect when all of the capital's slaves were freed in April 1862. Another essay explores the city's place as a major center of military hospitals, patients, and medical administration. Other contributors reflect on literature and the war, particularly on the poetry published in hospital newspapers and Walt Whitman's formative experiences with the city and its wounded. The digital project associated with this book offers a virtual examination of the nation's capital from multiple perspectives. Through a collection of datasets, visual works, texts, and maps, the digital project offers a case study of the social, political, cultural, and scientific transitions provoked or accelerated by the Civil War. The book also provides insights into the complex and ever-shifting nature of ongoing digital projects while encouraging others to develop their own interpretations and participate in the larger endeavor of digital history. Susan C. Lawrence is an associate professor of history at Ohio State University. She is the author of Charitable Knowledge: Hospital Pupils and Practitioners in Eighteenth-Century London.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52740119003409,"sku":"NIN9780803262867","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780803262867.jpg?v=1786130716"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-susan-c-lawrence.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
