From Physick to Pharmacology (eBook, ePUB)

Five Hundred Years of British Drug Retailing

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The social history of early medicine and the evolution of British retailing are two areas that have attracted considerable attention from academics in recent years. That said, little work has been done either by medical or business historians on the actual retailing of drugs. This book merges the two themes by examining the growth in the retailing of medicinal drugs from the sixteenth into the twenty-first centuries.
