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. 517 3 $aChina, healing, and the West to 1848 606 $aMedicine, Chinese$vPopular works 606 $aMedicine$zAsia$xHistory 615 0$aMedicine, Chinese 615 0$aMedicine$xHistory. 676 $a610.951 700 $aBarnes$b Linda L$0903448 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812739603321 996 $aNeedles, herbs, gods, and ghosts$94021016 997 $aUNINA
