By Dale Sterling (Author)

The COVID-19 pandemic has clearly demonstrated the importance of medicine on a global scale. However, looking back at the 1918 influenza pandemic offers new perspective as we search for a viable vaccine and implement public health measures. This suggests that medical knowledge is an accumulative process stretching back into the past, and it is in the spirit of this legacy that this bibliography has been written. This book is a one-stop shop for citing literature on the history of medicine. It also recognizes the global reach of medicine and has made significant efforts in this regard. Despite the seemingly social and educational dominance of the online world, there is still a need for a well-planned and focused reference work, and this bibliography achieves that.
