Description

The study of ancient medicine has been revolutionised over the last half century and Vivian Nutton has been a leading figure. Here distinguished colleagues and former students offer essays in his honour, developing themes from his ground-breaking scholarship. The book explores the diversity of the ancient medical marketplace. From the Bronze Age to Classical Antiquity (with glimpses forward to the Digital Age), from the cult of Artemis to the corpuscular theories of Asclepiades of Bithynia, from the medicinal uses of beavers to the cost of healthcare and wet-nursing, and from remedy exchange to the medical repercussions of political assassination.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
