How the Idea of Profession Changed the Writing of Medical History

JOHN BURNHAM

"Burnham provides an erudite and insightful overview of the rise of the concept of the medical profession... what emerges is a tripartite dialogue of physicians, sociologists and historians...this lucid and pioneering contribution...does much to promote a more reflective and

sophisticated approach to studies of professional expertise in the spheres of health and welfare." - Paul Weindling

"The book will create discussion and debate largely because it has elucidated the issues so cogently. It can be

very strongly recommended to all medical historians and as a reading in graduate seminars." - William G Rothstein

Anatomical Fugitive Sheets, 1538-1687 ANDREA CARLINO

By their nature ephemeral, few copies survive of these unusual images with flaps under which are revealed the internal organs of both male and female bodies. In a lengthy, worldwide search, Andrea Carlino has discovered 62, all of which are listed and reproduced in this lavishly illustrated

catalogue. In his Introduction, Carlino discusses the sixteenth and seventeenth-century popular market for which these

prints were produced, the social, cultural and medical context in which they were created, as well as their uses and functions.This intriguing and original study will be of great interest to historians of medicine and of printing.

In the Shadow of the Bomb Oppenheimer, Bethe, and the Moral Responsibility of the Scientist S. S. Schweber

In the Shadow of the Bomb narrates how two charismatic, exceptionally talented physicists-J. Robert Oppenheimer and Hans A. Bethe-came to terms with the nuclear weapons they helped to create. By examining how Bethe and Oppenheimer struggled with these moral dilemmas, one of our foremost historians of physics tells the story of modern physics, the development of atomic weapons, and the Cold War.

"Schweber deals with the political involvements and ethical responsibilities of physicists in and after World War II in a new way and takes up themes and events that have not been dealt with in detail, or at all, in other works." -Helge Kragh, author of Quantum Generations Princeton Series in Physics Cloth $24.95 ISBN 0-691-04989-0

Science, Technology and Medicine in Colonial India David Arnold Interest in the science, technology and medicine of India under British rule has increased in recent years and has played an important part in the reinterpretation of modern South Asian history. David Arnold's

wide-ranging analysis combines a discussion of all three fields across the entire colonial period-from the 1860s through to Independence-offering both a survey of recent scholarship and an original overview. The New Cambridge History of India 111:5 0-521-56319-4 Hardback $59.95

The Midwives of Seventeenth-Century London Doreen Evenden Midwives, as a group, have been dismissed by historians as being inadequately educated and trained for the task of child delivery. The Midwives

of Seventeenth-Century London rejects these claims by exploring the midwives' training and their

licensing in an unofficial apprenticeship by the Church. Dr. Evenden also offers an accurate

depiction of the midwives in their socioeconomic context by examining a wide range of seventeenth-

century sources. This expansive study not only recovers the names of almost one thousand women who worked as midwives in the twelve London

parishes, but also brings to light details about their spouses, their families and their associates.

The Transmission of Chinese Medicine Elisabeth Hsu This is a study of traditional medical education in the People's Republic of China. The author became a disciple of a scholarly private practitioner, a Qigong master; attended courses given by a senior acupunc- turist and masseur; and studied with undergraduates at the Yunnan College of Traditional Chinese Med- icine, where the standardized knowledge of official Chinese medicine is inculcated. She compares theories and practices of these different Chinese medical traditions, and her fascinating insider's account of traditional medical practices brings out the way in which the context of instruction shapes knowledge.

Rethinking the Scientific Revolution Margaret J. Osler, Editor The Scientific Revolution (roughly 1500 to 1700) is considered to be the central episode in the history of science, the historical moment when "modern science" and its attendant institutions emerged. This book

challenges the traditional historiography of the Sci- entific Revolution. Starting with a dialogue between

Betty Jo Teeter Dobbs and Richard S. Westfall, whose

understanding of the Scientific Revolution differs in

important ways, the papers in this volume reconsider canonical figures, their areas of study, and the formation of disciplinary boundaries during this seminal period of European intellectual history.

EDITED BY HANS THIJSSEN, UNIVERSITY OF NIJMEGEN

Early Science and Medicine is Brill's international

activity from the earliest times through to the end of the seventeenth century, focusing on Western, Byzantine and Arabic traditions.

Journal of Early Modern History Contrasts, Contacts, Comparisons

EDITED BY HEIKO A. OBERMAN (UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA), JAMES D. TRACY (UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA) AND ANTONY BLACK

(UNIVERSITY OF DUNDEE)

The Journal of Early Modern History explores the

'early modern' period of world history (ca. 1300-1800) that was marked by a large increase in the level of

global interaction. Between the aftermath of Mongol conquest in the East and the onset of industrialization in the West, European expansion set the framework for new kinds of contacts and collective self-definition.

Broad coverage The Journal offers a broad audience of historians on a given theme, whether in explicitly comparative studies, or by the grouping of studies (or books

reviewed).
