|  | The History of Medicine by Roy Porter
Against the backdrop of unprecedented concern for the future of health care, THE CAMBRIDGE ILLUSTRATED HISTORY OF MEDICINE surveys the rise of medicine in the West from classical times to the present. Covering both the social and scientific history of medicine, this lavishly illustrated volume traces the chronology of key developments and events, while at the same time engaging with the issues, discoveries, and controversies that have beset and characterized medical progress. The authors weave a narrative that connects disease, doctors, primary care, surgery, the rise of hospitals, drug treatments and pharmacology, mental illness and psychiatry. This volume emphasizes the crucial developments of the past 150 years, but also examines classical, medieval, and Islamic and East Asian medicine. AUTHOR: Roy Porter
