牛津新生儿教科书:文化与医疗的历史

English | ISBN: 0198854803 | 2021 | 464 pages | PDF | 197 MB

Well into the 20th century, one in four newborns failed to survive their first year of life. It was after World War II that medicine "discovered" the newborn as a human being entitled to medical treatment and prioritised care. Since its definition by Alexander Schaffer in 1960, neonatology has evolved into a mature, innovative, and ethical field. A large number of medical professionals' care for neonates, yet no definitive medical history of the newborn has been available until now.

The Oxford Textbook of the Newborn: A Cultural and Medical History offers readers a unique and authoritative resource on the 3000-year history of the newborn within Western societies. Written by Professor Michael Obladen, a leading voice in neonatology, this book reflects on our perception of newborns, from the earliest days of human thought, through to the traces that remained in medieval life and persist today. It unearths ideas and evidence of societies' perceptions of newborns through a beautifully illustrated, impressive and often never-seen-before set of historical sources from libraries, archives, churches, excavation fields, and hospital charts around the world.


二十世纪初期,新生婴儿中有四分之一未能活过第一年。直到二战之后,医学才“发现”新生儿是应当接受医疗治疗和优先照顾的人类个体。自1960年由亚历山大·肖法尔定义以来,新生儿科已经发展成为成熟的、创新的并具有伦理性的领域。许多医疗专业人员护理着新生儿,但到目前为止,还没有任何一份完整的医学历史记录。《牛津新生儿手册:文化与医学史》为读者提供了一个独特的且权威资源,展示了西方社会中新生儿3000年的发展史。由新生儿科领域的领军人物迈克尔·奥博兰德教授撰写,本书反思了我们对新生儿的看法,从人类思想的最早时期到留存至今的中世纪生活的痕迹。它通过世界各地图书馆、档案馆、教堂、挖掘遗址和医院记录上的一系列精美插图、令人印象深刻且通常是从未见过的历史资料揭示了社会对新生儿看法的各种想法与证据。
