THE STORY OF MEDICINE FROM PAPYRI TO PACEMAKERS

Book ID/图书代码： 12749004B04888

English Summary/英文概要： Health, hygiene and medicine are important preoccupations today, just as they were in the past. From classical times right up to the Renaissance, the lore of the physician remained a surprisingly unchanging mixture of sound scientific advice and superstitions. In relatively recent times, the advent of dissection and ground-breaking discoveries such as antibiotics, antiseptics and X-rays revolutionised medical diagnosis and treatment. Yet the foundations of modern medicine were laid by ancient civilisations, and this book shows how.
The book will answer many of children’s questions about medicine in the past. Who were the doctors, and how were they trained? How accurate were the Egyptians’ ideas about anatomy? What strange (to us!) ingredients did they put in their potions? How much did the Greeks and Romans understand about sanitation? What were the attitudes of people in the past to disease, and how did they respond to it? How much of early medicine was really magic or superstition? How much was effective? How long could people in the past expect to live, and how did they deal with death? How much can we find out about the diseases and injuries of people in the past from modern scientific techniques such as CT-scanning and X-rays?
