About this work
Description
During the twentieth century, medicine has been radically transformed and powerfully transformative. In 1900, western medicine was important to philanthropy and public health, but it was marginal to the state, the industrial economy and the welfare of most individuals.

The editors of Medicine in the Twentieth Century have commissioned over forty authoritative essays, written by historical.
