Pressestimmen

Beyond its obvious value for historians of (colonial and imperial) medicine, Harrison's example are applicable to histoians of science and more adventurous intellectual historians willing to engage with some technical material. The bibliography alone is worthy of consultation by anyone seeking a well-organized and thorough background in colonial medicine. Jessica Baron, Journal of the History of Medicine and Allied Sciences provides an accessible and rich introduction to the larger context British imperial connections and their impact on medicine.
