Leslie, Ch. & Young, Allan, - Paths to Asian medical knowledge.

Twelve studies/contributions to the theme. This book expands the study of Asian medicine. These chapters ask how patients and practitioners know what they know-what evidence of disease or health they consider convincing and what cultural traditions and symbols guide their thinking. Whether discussing Japanese anatomy texts, Islamic humoralism, Ayurvedic clinical practice, or a variety of other subjects, the chapters offer a range of information and suggest new theoretical avenues for medical anthropology. This book covers a variety of topics including Asian medicine, patients, practitioners, evidence of disease, medical anthropology, cultural traditions, Japanese anatomy texts, Islamic humoralism, and Ayurvedic clinical practice. [ Oxford Academic] l University of California Press, Berkeley 1992. Pb. 296 pp. With index. Good condition.
