Chinese Pharmacology 330 $aWhat Is Medicine? Western and Eastern Approaches to Healing is the first comparative history of two millennia of Western and Chinese medicine from their beginnings in the centuries BCE through present advances in sciences like molecular biology and in Western adaptations of traditional Chinese medicine. In his revolutionary interpretation of the basic forces that undergird shifts in medical theory, Paul U. Unschuld relates the history of medicine in both Europe and China to changes in politics, economics, and other contextual factors. Drawing on his own extended research of Chinese primary sources as well as his and others' scholarship in European medical history, Unschuld argues against any claims of "truth" in former and current, Eastern and Western models of physiology and pathology. What Is Medicine? makes an eloquent and timely contribution to discussions on health care policies while illuminating the nature of cognitive dynamics in medicine, and it stimulates fresh debate on the essence and interpretation of reality in medicine's attempts to manage the human organism. 606 $aMedicine$xPhilosophy$xHistory 606 $aMedicine, Oriental$xPhilosophy$xHistory 610 $aancient healing. 610 $achina. 610 $achinese medicine. 610 $acognitive dynamics. 610 $acomparative history. 610 $adebate. 610 $adoctors and patients. 610 $aeastern medicine. 610 $aeconomics. 610 $aeurope. 610 $aeuropean medicine. 610 $ahealing and medicine. 610 $ahealth and wellness. 610 $ahealth care policies. 610 $ahealth care professionals. 610 $ahistory of medicine. 610 $ahuman health. 610 $amedical theory. 610 $amodern medicine. 610 $amolecular biology. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $apathology. 610 $aphysiology. 610 $apolitical shifts. 610 $ascientists. 610 $atraditional practices. 610 $awestern adaptations. 610 $awestern medicine. 615 0$aMedicine$xPhilosophy$xHistory. 615 0$aMedicine, Oriental$xPhilosophy$xHistory. 676 $a610.1 700 $aUnschuld$b Paul U$g(Paul Ulrich),$f1943-$0655641 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790258003321 996 $aWhat is medicine$93798412 997 $aUNINA LEADER 09390nam 22005053 450 001 9910163322103321 005 20230803015733.0 010 $a9781908902986 010 $a1908902981 035 $a(CKB)3810000000101275 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4808200 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL4808200 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11349564 035 $a(OCoLC)974583937 035 $a(Exl-AI)4808200 035 $a(Perlego)3022579 035 $a(EXLCZ)993810000000101275 100 $a20210901d2013 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 14$aThe adventures of Captain John Patterson $ewith notices of the officers, &c. of the 50th, or Queen's own regiment, from 1807 to 1821 205 $a1st ed. 210 1$aSan Francisco :$cWagram Press,$d2013. 210 4$dİ2013. 215 $a1 online resource (179 pages) 327 $aIntro -- ERRATA -- CHAPTER I. -- The Author's motives.-His entrance to military life.-Sketches of officers.-Lieutenant Colonel Stewart.-Lieutenant Colonel White.-A harassing march.-Changes of name in the 50th Regiment.-Arrival at Portsmouth.-The Embarkation. -- CHAPTER.
