Medicine in the Making of Modern Britain, 1700-1920Routledge, 1994 - 106 страници Christopher Lawrence's critical overview of medicine's place in the development of modern Britain examines the significance of the clinical encounter in contemporary society. In the first short synoptic study of its kind, Lawrence breaks new ground by bringing together specialized scholarship into a broad argument, showing how the medical profession created a very specific role for itself and how a vast amount of important social policy decisions flowed from that. |
