Sigerist delivered at Cornell University in 1940. Now back in print, the book is a wide-ranging account of the importance of social factors on health and illness and the impact that disease has had on societies throughout human history. Despite considerable advances in both medicine and historiography, Civilization and Disease remains a landmark work in the history of medicine and a fascinating look at, first, civilization as a factor in the genesis and spread of disease, and second, the effects of disease on such aspects of civilization as economics, social life, law, philosophy, religion, science, and the arts. In a new foreword written for this edition, Elizabeth Fee outlines Sigerist's life, works, and legacy as a historian, a teacher, and an advocate for universal health care, hailing Civilization and Disease as "an excellent introduction to Sigerist's work." 410 0$aMessenger lectures. 606 $aMedicine$xHistory 606 $aMedicine and art 606 $aMedicine$xPhilosophy 615 0$aMedicine$xHistory. 615 0$aMedicine and art. 615 0$aMedicine$xPhilosophy. 676 $a610.9 700 $aSigerist$b Henry E$g(Henry Ernest),$f1891-1957,$01540734 702 $aFee$b Elizabeth 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796719503321 996 $aCivilization and disease$93792532 997 $aUNINA
