Medicine and Its Technology: An Introduction to the History of Medical Instrumentation (Contributions in Medical History, Number 7)

xiv, 285 pp. Garrison-Morton 2682.55 "A rare and useful book of wide interest in a field too often dominated by esoterica. It combines the techniques of traditional, perceptive social, and intellectual history with an analytic approach to the material culture of the medical field... An extensive bibliographic essay on the literary sources pertaining to medical instruments and an equally perceptive essay on collections of medical instruments enhance the value of this work." - Choice
