Their Footprints Remain uses archival sources, personal letters, diaries, and oral sources in order to tell the fascinating story of how this once-new medical system became imbedded in the Himalayas. Of interest to anyone with an interest in medical history and anthropology, as well as the Himalayan world, this volume not only identifies the individuals involved and describes how they helped to spread this form of imperialist medicine, but also discusses its reception by a local people whose own medical practices were based on an entirely different understanding of the world. 410 0$aIIAS publications series.$pMonographs ;$v1. 606 $aMedicine$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aMedicine$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aTibet Autonomous Region (China) 607 $aSikkim (India) 607 $aBhutan 615 0$aMedicine$xHistory 615 0$aMedicine$xHistory 676 $a610.95 700 $aMcKay$b Alex$0800821 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910146419503321 996 $aTheir Footprints Remain$91802129 997 $aUNINA
