Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the history of medicine by examining its evolution over three main 'ages'. The 'Age of Foundation' starts with ancient civilization and encompasses primitive, sacred, philosophical, and anatomical periods. The 'Age of Transition' attends the influence of Greek and Arabic powers on the practice of medicine and laster until the Renaissance. The final 'Age of Renovation' begins during the 15th and 16th centuries in Europe and takes the reader to the present day. The author presents an engaging narrative that incorporates the philosophies, beliefs, and social conditions that have influenced the treatment of disease from the time of Hippocrates to modern advances. It reveals the limits that superstition and ignorance imposed on the ancient healing arts and the struggle toward knowledge and reason that has marked the last two millennia, bringing 'medicine from mysticism to science.'
