Description

Disease and Medicine in World History is a concise introduction to diverse ideas about diseases and their treatment throughout the world. Drawing on case studies from ancient Egypt to present-day America, Asia and Europe, this survey discusses concepts of sickness and forms of treatment in many cultures. Sheldon Watts shows that many medical practices in the past were shaped as much by philosophers and metaphysicians as by university-trained doctors and other practitioners. Subjects covered include Pharaonic Egypt and the pre-conquest New World, alongside the evolution of medical systems in the Middle East and beyond, offering readers a comprehensive global perspective on how societies have understood and addressed disease across centuries and continents.
