The Oxford Handbook of the History of Medicine provides an ambitious, up-to-date and thought-provoking overview of the key themes, methodologies and debates in medical history ... As a guide to medical history, it is virtually flawless, meaning that the volume's contributions will remain on academic reading lists for decades to come.

Dr Ian Miller, Reviews in History

Whether you are a physician, other medical professional or simply someone interested in the history of medicine, this is a key volume to add to your collection. The amount of information in it is immense, and it is well laid out and presented. We congratulate all who played a part in putting it together.

BIZINDIA, May 2013

It should be an essential part of any research collection on the field.

Years Work in Critical and Cultural Theory

The Oxford Handbook of the History of Medicine celebrates the richness and variety of medical history around the world. In recent decades, the history of medicine has emerged as a rich and mature sub-discipline within history, but the strength of the field has not precluded vigorous debates about methods, themes, and sources. Bringing together over thirty international scholars, this handbook provides a constructive overview of the current state of these debates, and offers new directions for future scholarship. There are three sections: the first explores the methodological challenges and historiographical debates generated by working in particular historical ages; the second explores the history of medicine in specific regions of the world and their medical traditions, and includes discussion of the `global history of medicine'; the final section analyses, from broad chronological and geographical perspectives, both established and emerging historical themes and methodological debates in the history of medicine.
