The text uses the modern perspective throughout so that the student is given an easily assimilable, logical introduction to the important concepts of the subject, particulary the core concept, the 'chemiosmotic theory'. It has been specifically designed to make information easily accessible by devoting each double-page spread to one topic.

"At its core,evidence-based practice rests on a supposition which,while probabliy true.itself has unclear evidentiary support" A quaret-century of outcomes research,systematic reviews and research synthesis have reshaped medicine and oher health professions,even as they have been subjected to vigorous and vehement criticism. The growth of evidence-based medicine has occurred against a backdrop of health care reform, managed care, cost containment, and quality improvement、and Clinicians have been urged to adopt the rigors of science while remaining true to their "clinical judgment". This tension-btwen efforts to make medical practice make medical practice more scientiric and the suspicions of many clinicians-has caused one of the greatest practical and conceptual origins ofevidence-based practice and discusses key ethical issues that arise in clinical practice, public health, and health policy. 作者简介: Kenneth W.Goodman is founder and director of the university of miami's bioethics program a

This book offers an introduction to the history ofuniversity-trained physicians from the middle ages to theeighteenth-century Enlightenment. These were the elite, inreputation and rewards, and they were successful. Yet we can formlittle idea of their clinical effectiveness, and to modern eyestheir theory and practice often seems bizarre. But the historicalevidence is that they were judged on other criteria, and theargument of this book is that these physicians helped to constructthe expectations of society - and met them accordingly. The mainfocus is on the European Latin tradition of medicine, reconstructedfrom ancient sources and relying heavily on natural philosophy forits explanatory power. This philosophy collapsed in the 'scientificrevolution', and left the learned and rational doctor in crisis.The book concludes with an examination of how this crisis was met -or avoided - in different parts of Europe during theEnlightenment.
