About This Item
Harvard University Press, 2005-03-31. Paperback. Very Good. 8x5x1. Softcover. Good binding and cover. Shelf wear. Edges sunned/creased. Owner's name on front end page, else unmarked. <br> "Grob's book is a broad study of American medical history and encompasses more than the story of clinicians, surgeons, patients and pathogens. He surveys subjects such as morbidity and mortality related to malnourishment, accident rates, pollution, vague but burdensome disabilities, and more. Grob is critical of the standard interpretations of American medical history. Grob has provided us with a general medical history of the United States of America, with suitable references to trends overseas, especially in Europe. His book will be the standard work on the subject until a decade or two more, when we non-specialists will need our next fresh interpretation of our fascinating medical selves." - Alfred W. Crosby, Nature Medicine
