Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Ideas tumble out of Porter like wonders from some scholarly horn of plenty." —Sherwin B. Nuland, The New Republic An eminently readable, entertaining romp through the history of our vain and valiant efforts to heal ourselves. Mankind's battle to stay alive and healthy for as long as possible is our oldest, most universal struggle. With his characteristic wit and vastly informed historical scope, Roy Porter examines the war fought between disease and doctors on the battleground of the flesh from ancient times to the present. He explores the many ingenious ways in which we have attempted to overcome disease through the ages: the changing role of doctors, from ancient healers, apothecaries, and blood-letters to today's professionals; the array of drugs, from Ayurvedic remedies to the launch of Viagra; the advances in surgery, from amputations performed by barbers without anesthetic to today's sophisticated transplants; and the transformation of hospitals from Christian places of convalescence to modern medical powerhouses. Cleverly illustrated with historic line drawings, the chronic ailments of humanity provide vivid anecdotes for Porter's enlightening story of medicine's efforts to prevail over a formidable and ever-changing adversary.

Download or read book City of Capital written by Bruce G. Carruthers and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 1999-12-19 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "While many have examined how economic interests motivate political action, Bruce Carruthers explores the reverse relationship by focusing on how political interests shape a market. He sets his inquiry within the context of late Stuart England, when an active stock market emerged and when Whig and Tory parties vied for control of a newly empowered Parliament. Probing such connections between politics and markets at both institutional and individual levels, Carruthers ultimately argues that competitive markets are not inherently apolitical spheres guided by economic interest but rather ongoing creations of social actors pursuing multiple goals." -- BACK COVER.

Book excerpt: Spring, 1975, nine people met for the first time at Sugar Loaf Conference Center in Philadelphia to discuss the relationship between literature and medicine. These humanists were committed to meet four more times during the next eighteen months. Contained in this book is the fruit of these discussions in the form of a dialogue--a dialogue interspersed with lyric statements in prose and poetry. Participants in the dialogue: Nancy C. Andreasen, perhaps the "world's only M.D./Ph.D. in literature," who has evolved from critic and composition teacher to psychiatrist at the University of Iowa College of Medicine. James C. Cowan, University of Arkansas, is editor of the D. H. Lawrence Review and a frequently published Lawrence scholar. Ian R. Lawson, who got his medical training in Scotland, practiced there and in India before serving as Director of the Hebrew Home for the Aged and as a faculty member at the University of Connecticut. Denise Levertov, a nurse in England before coming to the United States, is a major poet whose work is closely associated with the late poet/physician, William Carlos Williams. Harold Gene Moss is currently on the staff of the National Endowment for the Humanities: "From the patient's point of view," he notes, "the situation of serious illness is essentially tragic, but from the doctor's sequential point of view, it is comedic." William B. Ober, Director of Laboratories, Hackensack Hospital, is the author of Boswell's Clap and Other Essays: Medical Analyses of Literary Men's Afflictions (Southern Illinois University Press, 1979).Richard Selzer, New Haven surgeon, essayist, and short-story writer, came to the dialogue with one book behind him, the second--in which a surgeon is celebrated--just ahead.
