The editors of _Medicine in the Twentieth Century_ commissioned over forty
essays from renowned specialists. The book's chapters cover the themes of
expertise & authority, popular understanding & patient politics, government
& industry, gender, race & class, and internationalism & global health.
Throughout, the authors set the 'miracles' into context, the hype into
historical perspective, the high-tech against the background of the abiding
realities of life and death. The essays will appeal to historians and social
scientists, health workers and researchers, and to the general reader -- the
citizen-patient in all of us.
