Sociology And Medicine pdf
Description

Doctors and patients, inter-professional rivalries, how sociologists might tackle the study of vital topics in health - all these are enduring themes in medical sociology. These are also the long-running intellectual preoccupations of Philip M. Strong's twenty year contribution to the field - one which he did much to shape. Posthumously gathered together for the first time in this volume, are thirteen of his major essays, many of which are difficult to find or have been out of print for some years. Grouped by theme, this important reference allows the reader to trace the development in Strong's thought over his career as well as the more general development of medical sociology as a whole.

The Prolongation of Life pdf
Description

"Three chief evils that hang over us are disease, old age, and death. To study and control senescence, Metchnikoff proposed the establishment of a new scientific discipline he named 'gerontology.' In this classic text on the prolongation of life, Metchnikoff suggests that science should be encouraged and helped in every possible way in its task of removing the diseases and habits that now prevent human life from running its normal course, and his belief is that, were the task accomplished, the great cause of pessimism would disappear. Metchnikoff was able to proclaim himself an optimist, and found, in biological science, for the present generation a hope, or at the least an end towards which to work, and for future generations a possible achievement of that hope."
