Technologies of Modern Medicine
Proceedings of a Seminar Held at the Science Museum, London, March 1993
Description:... Many practices now central to modern medicine first came to prominence in the years after World War Two. This book examines three areas of particularly rapid change: the development, reception and uptake of new machines for clinical use within a medical and industrial context; new concerns with defining and measuring the health of populations; and the functioning of laboratory research within twentieth-century medicine. Technologies of Modern Medicine is made up of papers given at a symposium held at the Science Museum in 1993.
