Classification
WB 890 Complementary therapies (General or not elsewhere classified)Abstract: * The story of 'alternative' medicine - and why it is so popular
* Lays bare the distinctions between 'alternative', 'complementary' and 'orthodox' medicine and explains how these distinctions arose
* Uses a wealth of illuminating and entertaining historical examples, from horse-racing English earls to desperate missionaries in 17th century Indonesia, from hypnotism in the British Raj to homeopathy in the American 'Wild West'
* Shows how the medical systems of China, India, and the west - both mainstream and alternative - have influenced each other over the centuries
Walk into the local health food shop or pick up today's paper and the chances are that you'll see adverts for acupuncture and herbal medicine, hypnotists and homeopaths. Some doctors and scientists mourn the lost lustre of mainstream medicine and complain about a new breed of 'irrational' consumer.
But what exactly is 'alternative' medicine? Is the astonishing popularity of alternative and multicultural medicine really such a recent development? And, given the success story of modern biomedical science, why are alternative and traditional treatments now so fashionable? Has the impersonal chill of high-tech medicine driven consumers into the arms of charismatic quacks? Or is it the cost of western medicine that makes its competitors look so attractive? Do patients seek hope, holism, or just the thrill of rebellion?
This book seeks answers to all these questions and more. Comparing the medical systems of China, India, and the west - both mainstream and alternative - Roberta Bivins shows how medical expertise has migrated from one culture to another. From acupuncture in Regency England to homeopathy in the 'Wild West', Bivins unearths the roots of today's distinctions between alternative, complementary, and orthodox medicine, and shows how popular interest in medical alternatives - often of exotic origin - is a phenomenon with a long and fascinating pedigree.Contents note: Introduction: 'Rival systems of medicine'? -- 1: 'What is this burning?' -- 2: Health and 'The New Science' -- 3: 'The Chinese have a great deal of wit' -- 4: 'With our Western brethren, the case seems to be quite different' -- 5: Conclusion: Pragmatism, Pluralism and the (Im)Patient-Consumer

Anatomy ; History of Medicine ; History, 18th Century ; Models, AnatomicAbstract: From the eccentric Museo La Specola in Florence comes this amazing collection of waxworks depicting the human anatomy in all its dazzling complexity. The 27 wax bodies and 1500 part and organ studies that make up the museum’s collection are presented here; from skeletons to vein structures, organs to nerves, and arteries to the delicate pores of the skin, the human body is mapped out in meticulous and exacting detail. Texts explaining the human anatomy in laypersons’ terms and exploring the historical and cultural significance of the wax figures complete this “total body experience.” Record link: https://kce.docressources.info/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=229 Hold

WZ 40 General worksAbstract: In 1849 richtte minister Charles Rogier een raad van experten op om hem advies te verlenen over alle kwesties die te maken hadden met volksgezondheid. 160 jaar later voert de Hoge Gezondheidsraad in principe nog altijd dezelfde kernopdracht uit. De behandelde thema's waren aanvankelijk zeer breed: arbeidershuisvesting, persoonlijke hygiëne, de strijd tegen infectieziekten, de ziekenhuisinfrastructuur enz. Dit boek toont hoe de raad achter de schermen mee de krijtlijnen uittekende van het Belgische volksgezondheidsbeleid. Daarom is het verhaal veel ruimer dan alleen de geschiedenis van een overheidsorgaan. Het boek weerspiegelt de evolutie die België doormaakte op het gebied van hygiëne, medisch-wetenschappelijke ontdekkingen, gezondheidsbeleid en sociale wetgeving en toont hoe de wetenschappelijke adviezen van de Hoge Gezondheidsraad op lange termijn het dagelijks handelen tot in het kleinste detail beïnvloed hebben. 160 jaar lang vormde de raad de schakel tussen wetenschap en beleid.
