Description

Explore the history of scientific thought and medical practices through Oxford University Press. This comprehensive handbook provides an in-depth synthesis of science and medicine from approximately 650 BCE to 650 CE. While the primary focus remains on the ancient societies of Greece and Rome, the text also provides important context by looking at developments in Egypt, Mesopotamia, India, and China. Organized into five distinct sections, this volume serves as a detailed resource for understanding how ancient civilizations approached the natural world and human health. Readers can trace the evolution of knowledge from the early Greek era, including the influence of Plato, through the long Hellenistic era and the Roman Republic. This collection is an essential academic resource for those studying ancient history, the history of science, or classical civilizations.

Key Features

Comprehensive historical synthesis covering the period from 650 BCE to 650 CE.

Detailed focus on the scientific and medical advancements of ancient Greece and Rome.

Broad geographic scope including insights into Egypt, Mesopotamia, India, and China.

Explore the evolution of media studies with The Mass Audience: Rediscovering the Dominant Model from the Routledge Communication Series. This work examines how the concept of the audience emerged in the early 20th century as a large, unified collection of people connected through media exposure. For decades, this mass audience construct served as the primary way for industry, government, and social theorists to map and understand people. Because this model became so pervasive, it is often taken for granted in modern discourse. This book revisits that history, reopening inquiry into the meaning and impact of the dominant model that shaped how we view media consumption. It provides a necessary look at the foundations of communication theory and how these historical perspectives continue to influence the study of audiences today.

In-depth coverage of the early Greek era through the mid-fourth century BCE.

Analysis of the Hellenistic era from the time of Aristotle to the end of the Roman Republic.
