Klappentext zu „The Western Medical Tradition “
This book, first published in 2006, is a detailed and authoritative account of the last two centuries of the development of 'Western' medicine, a tradition now important everywhere in the world. It is written by leading experts who not only describe the most important people, events, and transformations, but give explanations for why medicine developed as it did, becoming as important as it has in the modern world. It contains one of the first historical summaries of the development of medicine after the Second World War. It is an authoritative source of new information as well as a synthesis of the current state of knowledge on this fascinating subject. The Western Medical Tradition, 1800-2000 is a companion volume to The Western Medical Tradition, 800 BC to AD 1800.

Rezension zu „The Western Medical Tradition “
'[A] massive, richly detailed and impressive overview of the past two centuries ...'. The Lancet 'As this book shows, traditions in medicine and science can have a powerful influence on how health care is shaped for the future. I therefore recommend the book to anyone with a serious interest in understanding the interactions between social and scientific events that have formed modern medicine.' Nature 'Bynum does produce a social framework within which the rise of scientific medicine makes sense. ... the final chapter provides one of the first historical summaries of medicinal developments in the post-war period.' Times Literary Supplement 'This section will challenge many, if not most, honours students, but will be ultimately very rewarding for them (and their teachers). Jacyna skilfully deconstructs the ideological role of professional elites and medical heroes, and is tellingly sensitive to the historical significance of the lower ranks of the profession as the 'shock troops of the bourgeois revolution.'
