Encyclopedia of Medical Anthropology By Carol R Ember And Friend

Doctors and ordinary citizens have realized that we need to understand cultural diversity in medical beliefs and practices. The more we know how to manage health and disease in different cultures, the more we realize what is "binding for culture" in our beliefs and medical practices.

The Encyclopedia of Medical Anthropology is unique because it is the first reference work to describe cultural practices related to health in world cultures and to provide an overview of the critical issues in medical anthropology. No other reference work is close to matching the depth and breadth of information about the diverse cultural backgrounds of health and diseases around the world. More than 100 experts, anthropologists, and other sociologists contributed their direct experience to medical cultures around the world.
