They are like two ends of a spectrum, for the same natural material can be medicine or poison, depending on the dose, and poisons can be transformed into medicines, while medicines can turn out to be poisons. The book looks at important moments in the history of the relationship between poisons and medicines in European history, from Roman times, with the Greek physician Galen, through the Renaissance and the maverick physician Paracelsus, to the present, when poisons are actively being turned into beneficial medicines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOle Peter Grell\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor in Early Modern History at The Open University, U.K.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAndrew Cunningham\u003c\/strong\u003e was formerly Senior Research Fellow at the Department of History and Philosophy of Science, University of Cambridge, U.K.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJon Arrizabalaga\u003c\/strong\u003e is Research Professor in History of Science at the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), Institución Milà i Fontanals, Barcelona, Spain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 258\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 9.1 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 29, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52239513420050,"sku":"9781032401911","price":100.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/2211\/5346\/files\/b2VOcXNBcHRZZlVpczZERlY2QjBNQT09.webp?v=1777879550","url":"https:\/\/ckbookstore.net\/products\/it-all-depends-on-the-dose-poisons-and-medicines-in-european-history-paperback","provider":"CK BOOKSTORE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
