PDF-(EBOOK)-Devices and Designs: Medical Technologies in Historical Perspective (Science,

In the last two centuries medicine has been transformed by a number of major technological and organisational innovations This edited collection examines the role of medical technologies in the history of medicine of new diagnostic and therapeutic tools prostheses and apparatus The volume also discusses the social cultural political and economic contexts from which these medical technologies emerged and in turn how technical innovations gave rise to new social constellations A central purpose of the volume is to show what consequences new practices linked to the uptake of certain technologies had for the history of medicine more widely. . Dr. Claudia Stein . 2 meanings of ‘historiography’: . It . can describe the body of work written on a specific topic. The historiography of a specific topic covers how historians have studied that topic using particular sources, techniques, and theoretical approaches.

Historians of science and Sinologists have long needed a unified narrative to describe the Chinese development of modern science, medicine, and technology since 1600. They welcomed the appearance in 2005 of Benjamin Elman\'s masterwork, On Their Own Terms. Now Elman has retold the story of the Jesuit impact on late imperial China, circa 1600-1800, and the Protestant era in early modern China from the 1840s to 1900 in a concise and accessible form ideal for the classroom. This coherent account of the emergence of modern science in China places that emergence in historical context for both general students of modern science and specialists of China. From the recovery of ancient ritual magic at the height of the Renaissance to the ignominious demise of alchemy at the dawn of the Enlightenment, Mark A. Waddell explores the rich and complex ways that premodern people made sense of their world. He describes a time when witches flew through the dark of night to feast on the flesh of unbaptized infants, magicians conversed with angels or struck pacts with demons, and astrologers cast the horoscopes of royalty. Ground-breaking discoveries changed the way that people understood the universe while, in laboratories and coffee houses, philosophers discussed how to reconcile the scientific method with the veneration of God. This engaging, illustrated new study introduces readers to the vibrant history behind the emergence of the modern world.
