Masnou, Barcelona, Spain: Laboratoires du Nord de l'Espagne, 1933 225 pp. Facsimiles, text illustrations, translator's introduction, editorial footnotes, Arabic-French glossary, index. Text in French (translated from Arabic). This book contains selections from al-Ghafiqi's twelfth-century treatise on ophthalmology entitled "Kitab al-murshid fi al-kuhl" [Guide to Ophthalmology]. The most remarkable ophthalmological text of the Islamic west, the work is an original and comprehensive review of all the knowledge of ophthalmology possessed by Islamic scholars of the time. Al-Ghafiqi's work is divided into six sections of which only part of the fifth and all of the sixth deal with ophthalmology in particular; the remainder deals with the pathology of the eye in the context of general medicine. Although it became a popular textbook in subsequent periods, only a single copy now exists in manuscript (No. 835 in the Escorial), from which Meyerhof made his translation and selection. Pages unopened (except title page folio). CONDITION: Sewn binding. Stiff parchment wrappers show overall minor rubbing and some light chipping at corners and ends of spine (small tear in underlying paper wrappers at base of spine). (Morton's Medical Bibliography, no. 5815.1.) OVERSIZED.. First Edition. Paperback. Very Good. 23 x 29 cm. more information

READING BIRTH AND DEATH: A History of Obstetric Thinking
|
|
|
Bloomington, IN: Indiana University Press, 1998. vii, 343 pp. Bibliographical notes, bibliography, index. This book explores the issue of power and how it relates to scientific thinking about childbirth. The issue of who should control childbirth remains one of debate despite almost four decades of campaigning for change. Its continuing relevance suggests that the problem of exercising choice and personal agency remains a struggle women face in an institutional system of maternity care which demands compliance with its norms. Since the 18th century, obstetric discourse has had a decisive impact on the experiences of birth in women's lives. Using the historical records and writings of Irish doctors and maternity hospitals, this book analyzes the core beliefs and practices of obstetric science. These beliefs reveal a central theme of women's perceived incompetence in the birth process and traces how such a radically gendered account has been so detrimental to women. The author argues that the problem women face stems directly from the way the science has worked. This study makes an important contribution to the fields of obstetrics, midwifery, childbirth education, sociology of the body, cultural studies, and women's studies. In "fine" (new) condition, however, the upper corner of the rear pasted endpaper was folded during the binding process and glued to the board.. First Edition. Hardcover.
