An Illustrated Account Based on Ninety-Nine Landmark Publications from Five Centuries
Hardback
Publication Date: 16/02/2006
The history and evolution of the fields of science and medicine are symbiotically linked and thus are mutually dependent. Discoveries in one domain have allowed for progress in the other, and it is nearly impossible to study one area in isolation. The influence of science and technologic discoveries on medicine has profoundly impacted the way physicians practice and has resulted in an extended life expectancy and quality of life that our ancestors never dreamed possible. Science and Technology in Medicine is a collection of 99 essays based on landmark publications that have appeared in the medical literature over the past 500 years. Each essay includes a summary of the article or chapter; text and images reproduced directly from the original source; a short biography of the author(s); and a discussion about the significance of the discovery and its subsequent influence on later developments. Original material by the likes of Durer, Bernoulli, Doppler, Pasteur, Trendelenburg, Curie and Roentgen offers readers a rare glimpse at publications housed in archives around the world, beautifully reproduced in one fascinating volume.
