Most people might point to the "rediscovery" of Chinese acupuncture in the 1970's. In Needles, Herbs, Gods, and Ghosts, Linda Barnes leads us back, instead, to the thirteenth century to uncover the story of the West's earliest known encounters with Chinese understandings of illness and healing. A medical anthropologist with a degree in comparative religion, Barnes illuminates the way constructions of medicine, religion, race, and the body informed Westerners' understanding of the Chinese and their healing traditions.China, healing, and the West to 1848Medicine, ChinesePopular worksMedicineAsiaHistoryMedicine, ChineseMedicineHistory.610.951Barnes Linda L903448MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910812739603321Needles, herbs, gods, and ghosts4021016UNINA
