Perspectives in medical humanities

Clowns and jokers can heal us : comedy and medicine / Albert Howard Carter III.

<p>"In less than a decade, scientists at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) learned how to clone DNA, founded the company that created the field of biotechnology, identified the first cancer genes, and made the heretical discovery that a protein by itself can transmit an infectious disease. The discoveries of Herbert Boyer, Michael Bishop, Harold Varmus, and Stanley Prusiner show that real innovators require freedom and time to tackle hard problems in their own way."--P. [4] of cover.</p>

xiii, 305 pages : illustrations, portraits ; 23 cm.

Paths to innovation : discovering recombinant DNA, oncogenes, and prions in one medical school, over one decade / Henry R. Bourne.

The healing art of writing / edited by Joan Baranow, Brian Dolan, David Watts.

<p>The rights and responsibilities of health citizenship are increasingly at the forefront of public policy debates concerning disease prevention and health management. These debates have global implications for prosperity, equality, and stability in dramatically changing demographic, economic, political and ecological environments.  This collection of essays are intended to lead the reader to an understanding of the history of public health, the rise of the modern state, the role of the social sciences in population health promotion, and the changing social contract of health citizenship in industrial and post-industrial societies.</p>
