Críticas:
'Excellent introduction to history of medicine in Britain in the period covered.' - David F. Smith, University of Aberdeen
'Anne Hardy has done those studying, and indeed teaching, the history of medicine a considerable service with this work. Tightly and authoritatively written, without at any point lapsing into obscurity or unnecessarily technical language, the book deals chronologically with the period from the middle of the nineteenth century to the present day.' - John Stewart, Medical History
'There is no directly comparable book to this one; it should therefore prove useful to students and those new to the literature.' - Helen Jones, Social History of Medicine
'In 180 pages of text Anne Hardy provides an excellent survey, indeed a wide ranging discussion, of the changes and developments over the past 140 years.' - The Newsletter of the Australian Society of the History of Medicine
'[Hardy's] textbook is now the best available on health and medicine in twentieth-century Britain, and deserves a wide readership among history and social policy undergraduates.' - John Welshman, Lancaster University
'An excellent, concise, introduction.' - Dr P.J. Maguire, University of Brighton
'The book is written in a clear and concise manner and will certainly encourage the development of a deep interest in the area.' - Raymond Pate, Southport College
'A very good, useful history.' - Dave Backwith, Anglia Polytechnic University
'An excellent, readable, current text that deals with the different dimensions of the subject to considerable effect; students I've shown the book to have been impressed.' - Richard Brown, A-Level Lecturer, Manshead School
'Hardy has produced a skilful history which triumphs in highlighting the social determinants of health and succeeds in placing medicine in its wider political and economic context.' - Sally Sheard, University of Liverpool

Since 1860, life expectancies and standards of general health have improved dramatically in industrialised societies. In the 1860s, there was little that medicine could do to cure or prevent illness, death rates were high and life expectancy short. Health and Medicine in Britain since 1860 sets out to examine the relationship between health and medicine and how it has changed in Britain in the past 150 years. From the placebo effect to Viagra, through changes in society and in the organisation, practice and expertise of medicine, this volume reviews the processes through which modern expectations of health have become established.
