Maps, Mapping, and Medicine, New Expanded Edition

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Provides a comprehensive survey of the technology of mapping and its relationship to the battle against disease. This look at medical mapping advances the argument that maps are not merely representations of spatial realities but a way of thinking about relationships between viral and bacterial communities, human hosts, and the environments in which diseases flourish.
