Medicine in China

A History of Ideas (Comparative Studies of Health Systems & Medical Care):

• Review:: 'Medicine in China: A History of Ideas By now most Americans accept acupuncture as a medical treatment of medical treatment. Very few if any can give a thorough explanation as to why TCM works. This appears to be a good book understanding the historical aspect of TCM over the celetial melllinums. It contains useful infomration on Yin Yang Drug qualities(pg 183), duration (pg 184), 5 elements (pg 185). It also described the decline of the popularity during the first half of 20th century. Marxist T'an Chuang termed the Chinese medicine as "collected garbage of several thousand years". With the policy to combine Western & TCM and the emergency of a new therapy just began in the '70s. This is a great book with a weak ending. If there is another edition it needs to bring up the subject of Nixon's visit and revived interest and what China is doing with AIDS and Cancer reseach and how TCm is going to impact mankind. The Wade-Giles phonetics also can be mind bogging for those forward thinking readers. Sam Shueh, librarian.
• Review:: 'Good intellectual history I realy don't know what book the above reviewer read before writing their review, but it certainly appears not to have been this one. Unschuld's premise is that any medicine MUST be understood within the context of the intellectual and cultural history out of which it arises, and not judged or even atempted to be understood from the intellectual and cultural framework of another culture seeking to understand the medicine only. Therefore, students of Traditional Chinese Medicine MUST study Chinese culture, history, and intellectual thought in order to fully understand the emdicine itself. Otherwise it is just a haphazard grab bag of clever techniques, at best. He intends his book to be a start n that direction, giving an overview of Chinese political, cultural, religious, and intellectual history, and attempting to show how this rich history of ideas manifested within the field of Chinese medicine from the earliest oracle bones and shamanic healers to the current attempt under Communism to develop a pragmatic system of primary care totally divorced from the spiritual context that gave birth to its world view and concepts.

  This is not a book for the casual reader who wants to learn a little bit about acupuncture. It is, however, a book serious students of Chinese Medicine ought to be thoroughly familiar with.

• Review:: 'All the facts, in English, but not flattering to Chinese med Unschuld has a deep fascination for Chinese medicine, as can be seen by his scholarly works in the field. This book is the best compilation of historical facts available in English that I know of. However, Unschuld has a deep bias toward the Western concept of the world and the result is not flattering to the science of China. Chinese science is as scientific in its rigor as Western medicine, matching experience and observation with theory and trial-and-error. It is just that the area of study is not limited to the physical body, but includes the energy body and the spiritual body as well: with no rigid demarcation of the three.

History of Public Health

History of Public Health

This paperback edition of George Rosen's classic account of the history of public health supplements the original text with Elizabeth Fee's new introduction and Edward T. Morman's biographical essay and bibliography.

• Review:: 'A Must Read for Clinicians & Public Healh Professionals George Rosen's chronology of the development of public health in A History of Public Health is a MUST read for not only public health professionals, but clinicians, health administrators and any one even remotely interested in how mankind has responded to the threat of infectious disease. His very detailed presentation of the facts takes the reader back to the study of Hippocrates as he wrote the epic writings of EPIDEMICS I, EPIDEMICS II, and AIRS, WATERS AND PLACES. By placing the reader within the historical context of the period he is reviewing, the reader gains a better understanding and appreciation for the actions (or in some cases, IN-actions) of key individuals and governments. Mr. Rosen very eloquently describes how this area of PUBLIC HEALTH is actually a multi-disciplinary science, which consists of medicine, social science and others (such as engineering, public administration and economics). Rosen's unique style of presenting the facts is very direct, concise and full of detail. His thorough examination of the elements that contributed to what we know as PUBLIC HEALTH today, is thorough and informative. If there must be one weakness of the book, it is that this is a complete chronology of public health as viewed through a WESTERN, positivist view. Very little is mentioned on Eastern, traditionalist medicine in any form or fashion. However, one of the most comprehensive books on this subject ever written and one that is a MUST for all involved in the public health field.
• Review:: 'a simply wonderfull book that captivates I have not come across a history book in the medical field that is so scholarly and so readable. The fact that George Rosen cared so deeply about contemporary health problems shine through this well referenced volume. It should be on the shelves of every public health practitioner
