Book Summary:
The History of Medicine: A Beginner’s Guide by Mark Jackson is a comprehensive and accessible overview of how medical knowledge, practice, and institutions have evolved from ancient times to the modern era. The book traces humanity’s quest to understand the human body, disease, and healing—beginning with early medical traditions in ancient Egypt, Greece, India, and China, and moving through the medieval and Renaissance periods to the scientific and technological revolutions of modern medicine. Jackson explores how social, cultural, and religious factors shaped medical theories and practices, from the influence of Galen’s humoral theory to the discovery of germ theory, anesthesia, vaccines, and antibiotics. He also discusses key turning points such as the rise of hospitals, public health movements, and the ethical debates surrounding modern medical research and biotechnology. By highlighting the interconnectedness of science, culture, and society, The History of Medicine reveals how medicine is not just a technical discipline but also a human story of curiosity, compassion, and progress.
