Harmony in Healing : The Theoretical Basis of Ancient and Medieval Medicine, Hardcover by Garber, James J., ISBN 1412806925, ISBN-13 9781412806923, Brand New, Free shipping in the US With MD, PhD, and MS (in astronomy) degrees, Garber is as much a polymath as his predecessors. He traces the philosophical roots of modern medicine from the ancient Greeks to the paradigms of medieval theory and practice, with a particular focus on the cosmological harmonies believed to exist between medicine and astronomy/astrology and music (., per Pythagorus). The author also examines the historical and psychological reasons why belief in such systems of medicine as Galen's four humors persisted for millennia despite advances in the field.

About this product

Product Information

The history of the second wave of feminism in the United States demonstrates the potential for both serious social change and seemingly intractable divisions among women. Race, ethnicity, social class, sexual orientation, and religion have all been dividing influences among women, shaping their various perspectives on and relations to the women's movement. Yet collectively, women's efforts-identified as second wave feminism-are seen as having made a difference. This book highlights the lives and work of fifty second wave feminists, women who have served as catalysts in the developing feminist movement. A diverse group-playwrights and politicians, grassroots organizers and scientists, poets and theologians-they provide the reader with compelling stories of individual women's lives, collective feminist struggles, and the possibilities of feminist social change. Each woman's story provides inspiration to those interested in the power of one, and collectively, the stories show the range of motivations, activities, and accomplishments of feminist thinkers and activists today. Each entry contains three parts: a biographical portrait of the individual, including information about education, family life, and early activism; an analytical discussion, highlighting the person's accomplishments and her relationship to U.S. feminism; and a bibliographical section containing a selective list of the subject's publications and writings about her and her work.

"...a unique examination of the link between medicine, astronomy, and cosmology, from the era of the Greeks to the modern day...A fascinating look at how mankind's understanding of medicine and healing evolved over millennia." -- Library Bookwatch "Astronomer James J. Garber presents Harmony in Healing: The Theoretical Basis of Ancient and Medieval Medicine, a unique examination of the link between medicine, astronomy, and cosmology, from the era of the Greeks to the modern day. Harmony in Healing pays particular attention to the theoretical baseline of the ancient principle of universal harmony, and its role in helping humanity's efforts to resist disease. Cosmological principles have played a key role in the theory and practice of medicine throughout history, sometimes obscuring human understanding of more accurate models such as modern disease theory, but often leading the way in the spirit of scientific and medical inquisition. "Galen's theory of anatomy and physiology was easily assimilated into a Christian context because he held that God had created each part of the human body for a specific purpose. His was a teleological system utilizing Aristotle's fourth (final) cause. Galen was a pagan who, at one point, criticized Christians for not thinking rationally. This apparently did not put off Christian writers - Galen's works survived without criticism for 1,500 years." A fascinating look at how mankind's understanding of medicine and healing evolved over millennia." -- Midwest Book Review
