Book Synopsis The Art is Long by : Alexis M. Butzner
Download or read book The Art is Long written by Alexis M. Butzner and published by Chemeketa Press. This book was released on 2021-08-27 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Art Is Long: Primary Texts on Medicine and the Humanities gathers introductory texts in the growing field of medical humanities. This unique volume presents a lens with which to examine the intersection of literature and medicine with diverse selections that span time and the globe. With authors from Sushruta to Hippocrates, Margery Kempe to John Donne, and Susie King Taylor to Sigmund Freud, the volume also highlights the voices of women, people of color, and those who have been overlooked or marginalized by the medical establishment. The Art Is Long aims to expand the medical humanities canon. In addition to more traditional works, readers will find snippets of literary and narrative encounters with medicine by writers who are neither doctors nor nurses, including professional caretakers and people who might be labelled “quacks” today but whose contributions represent a part of medical history. This anthology also includes medical reportage and philosophy, fiction and nonfiction, image and poetry. The shifts in genre, style, and perspective provide a wealth of opportunities to reflect on medical history and literary techniques, focusing on narratives that highlight a personal context for medical subjects in a single volume.
Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of the History of Mathematics by : Eleanor Robson
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of the History of Mathematics written by Eleanor Robson and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2008-12-18 with total page 926 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Handbook explores the history of mathematics under a series of themes which raise new questions about what mathematics has been and what it has meant to practise it. It addresses questions of who creates mathematics, who uses it, and how. A broader understanding of mathematical practitioners naturally leads to a new appreciation of what counts as a historical source. Material and oral evidence is drawn upon as well as an unusual array of textual sources. Further, the ways in which people have chosen to express themselves are as historically meaningful as the contents of the mathematics they have produced. Mathematics is not a fixed and unchanging entity. New questions, contexts, and applications all influence what counts as productive ways of thinking. Because the history of mathematics should interact constructively with other ways of studying the past, the contributors to this book come from a diverse range of intellectual backgrounds in anthropology, archaeology, art history, philosophy, and literature, as well as history of mathematics more traditionally understood. The thirty-six self-contained, multifaceted chapters, each written by a specialist, are arranged under three main headings: 'Geographies and Cultures', 'Peoples and Practices', and 'Interactions and Interpretations'. Together they deal with the mathematics of 5000 years, but without privileging the past three centuries, and an impressive range of periods and places with many points of cross-reference between chapters. The key mathematical cultures of North America, Europe, the Middle East, India, and China are all represented here as well as areas which are not often treated in mainstream history of mathematics, such as Russia, the Balkans, Vietnam, and South America. A vital reference for graduates and researchers in mathematics, historians of science, and general historians.

Book Synopsis The History of the London Water Industry, 1580–1820 by : Leslie Tomory
Download or read book The History of the London Water Industry, 1580–1820 written by Leslie Tomory and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2017-04-25 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did pre-industrial London build the biggest water supply industry on earth? Beginning in 1580, a number of competing London companies sold water directly to consumers through a large network of wooden mains in the expanding metropolis. This new water industry flourished throughout the 1600s, eventually expanding to serve tens of thousands of homes. By the late eighteenth century, more than 80 percent of the city’s houses had water connections—making London the best-served metropolis in the world while demonstrating that it was legally, commercially, and technologically possible to run an infrastructure network within the largest city on earth. In this richly detailed book, historian Leslie Tomory shows how new technologies imported from the Continent, including waterwheel-driven piston pumps, spurred the rapid growth of London’s water industry. The business was further sustained by an explosion in consumer demand, particularly in the city’s wealthy West End. Meanwhile, several key local innovations reshaped the industry by enlarging the size of the supply network. By 1800, the success of London’s water industry made it a model for other cities in Europe and beyond as they began to build their own water networks. The city’s water infrastructure even inspired builders of other large-scale urban projects, including gas and sewage supply networks. The History of the London Water Industry, 1580–1820 explores the technological, cultural, and mercantile factors that created and sustained this remarkable industry. Tomory examines how the joint-stock form became popular with water companies, providing a stable legal structure that allowed for expansion. He also explains how the roots of the London water industry’s divergence from the Continent and even from other British cities was rooted both in the size of London as a market and in the late seventeenth-century consumer revolution. This fascinating and unique study of essential utilities in the early modern period will interest business historians and historians of science and technology alike.
