About this product
Product Information
In 1559, William Cuningham MD published an image of a quintessentially healthy city. The source of his inspiration was Norwich, one of England's largest and wealthiest provincial boroughs. Though idealized, Cuningham's map fairly represented the municipalities' attempts to rebuild and improve the infrastructure. But his image also covered up many problems: Norwich in reality was pocked by decayed housing, deteriorating streets and polluted waterways, andwas home to significant numbers of sick and impoverished residents. This book brings both viewpoints to life. Cuningham's particular brand of environmental health imitated ancient ideas (in particular the Hippocratic textAirs, Waters, Places), and drew upon astrology, the study of the weather, and local topography. The book shows that amongst the citizens, a complementary form of medical culture existed that put individuals under the spotlight. It included neighbourhood reactions to illness and disability; the responsibilities of the governing elite for sanitation; and judgments about the lifestyles of different members of the community. Hygiene from this perspective was not only about cleanliness, but also about behaviour, hierarchy, and property. The study draws together a wide range of source materials (including images, medical notebooks and objects, human remains, the corporation's archives, and civic ritual and drama), considering both high and low culture.

PHENOMENAL seller! THE BEST! Seller responded IMMEDIATELY to my request for product photos and details. Then, he IMMEDIATELY accepted my "best offer" of a relatively low price for this large out-of-print CD-set. And to top it off, although the CD-set was described as in "very good" condition, it's actually MINT/LIKE NEW! Also, it was shipped quickly and very well packed, and the international tracking was among the best I've seen. This seller gets my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!
