title: Renaissance Medicine (HISTORY OF MEDICINE (ENCHANTED LION BOOKS).)
author:  Ian Dawson 
description: Gr. 6-9. This entry in the History of Medicine series offers a concise overview of the fascinating advancements in European medicine between 1450 and 1750. Beginning chapters discuss the urgency for new treatments that world exploration, and its subsequent spread of disease, created. Later chapters talk about physicians and scientists, common medical and surgical practices, and discoveries that challenged beliefs handed down from the Romans and Greeks. Dawson carefully shows how inventions such as the printing press and microscope and the work of artists such as da Vinci influenced medical knowledge. Quotes from primary sources enhance the plainspoken language, and numerous reproductions of paintings and engravings vividly evoke the realities of surgery, leech treatments, and the horrors of the plague. A glossary, a time line, and a list of resources close this informative history of a pivotal era in Western medicine that will support both history and science reports. <i>Gillian Engberg</i><br /><i>Copyright  American Library Association.
