Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the medical issues and problems of the late nineteenth century, specifically exploring the budding fields of epidemiology and preventative medicine. The topics and ideas presented explore the latest scientific advances and ideas on treating and preventing diseases, in addition to proposing new ways of investigating and managing the physical health of communities at a population-wide scale. The author argues that, while the practice of medicine is based on the foundational sciences of Anatomy, Physiology, Pathology, and Hygiene, the progress of medicine is slow and often hindered by a misunderstanding of these sciences. The author claims that a better understanding of preventative medicine will allow for radical improvements in the health of society as a whole.
