"Written by leading Scottish medical historians of our time, this book tells the dramatic story of how medicine in Scotland developed from its origins in prehistory. The early efforts of holy men and folk healers were superseded by the great achievements of figures such as the Monros, Robert Liston and James Syme. Men and women like Joseph Lister, David Livingstone, Sophie Jex-Blake and James Young Simpson transformed healthcare, not just in Scotland, but worldwide. The book contains over 250 colorful images from all stages of history, many previously unpublished, including Bronze Age skulls, beautifully painted medicinal plants, surgical instruments from the Roman period, depictions of pilgrims at healing wells, illuminated manuscripts of medical texts, Elizabethan portraits, ribald cartoons from the eighteenth century, photographs of patients from nineteenth-century hospital records, and many more."

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. First Edition. 1994. First edition, signed by author. xi, 324pp. Black and white maps. "A thematically structured, technically ground-breaking demographic analysis of an important early-modern European city. Each chapter addresses an aspect of urban life: the household and family; wealth and taxation; employment; the position of women; care of the poor. Throughout the book runs the constant theme of 'urban-ness' in relation to the different social and economic structures of the parishes of Edinburgh. The strength of this book lies in the breadth of the range of sources that the author has exploited - Poll Tax and Health Tax registers, testaments, burial registers and town council, Kirk and craft records; in the sophisticated techniques used to marshal this prodigious amount of information to construct a coherent and readable account of city life; and in its subject - this is one of a very few urban-historical demographic studies of the period not to be based on an English city."
