{"product_id":"medical-transitions-in-twentieth-century-china-9780253014900","title":"Medical Transitions in Twentieth-Century China","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis volume examines important aspects of China's century-long search to provide appropriate and effective health care for its people. Four subjects--disease and healing, encounters and accommodations, institutions and professions, and people's health--organize discussions across case studies of schistosomiasis, tuberculosis, mental health, and tobacco and health. Among the book's significant conclusions are the importance of barefoot doctors in disseminating western medicine, the improvements in medical health and services during the long Sino-Japanese war, and the important role of the Chinese consumer. Intended for an audience of health practitioners, historians, and others interested in the history of medicine and health in China, the book is one of three commissioned by the China Medical Board to mark its centennial in 2014.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bridie Andrews\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Indiana University Press (Ips)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 440\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.24h x 5.71w x 0.82d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780253014900\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBridie Andrews is Associate Professor of History at Bentley University.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMary Brown Bullock is Chair of the China Medical Board and Executive Vice-Chancellor of Duke-Kunshan University.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Indiana University Press (Ips)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43201608253555,"sku":"9.78025E+12","price":33.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_2be03135-782a-41ba-9777-28e5d369865b.jpg?v=1752839417","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/medical-transitions-in-twentieth-century-china-9780253014900","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
