Speaking of Epidemics in Chinese Medicine: Disease and the Geographic Imagination in Late Imperial China (Needham Research Institute Series)
"Rich, detailed, and hugely impressive in scope, Marta Hanson’s history of the “warm diseases” or the wenbing disease classification, from the earliest references in the canonical medical literature through to the present day, is a welcome addition to the Needham Research Institute Series of texts on East Asian medical history... the picture she paints is not only a fantastically thorough portrait of the Chinese wenbing disease concept that will be of interest to historians of East Asian medical history, but also a richly textured landscape that reveals much about the previously unexplored intersections between geography and disease and will have a broader appeal to anyone interested in the dynamic interplay between medicine and society."-Joanna Grant; Bulletin of the History of Medicine 2013.
