The Body in Balance
Focusing on practice more than theory, this collection offers new perspectives for studying the so-called “humoral medical traditions,” as they have flourished around the globe during the last 2,000 years. Exploring notions of “balance” in medical cultures across Eurasia, Africa and the Americas, from antiquity to the present, the volume revisits “harmony” and “holism” as main characteristics of those traditions. It foregrounds a dynamic notion o…

Medieval Islamic Medicine
The medical tradition that developed in the lands of Islam during the medieval period (c. 650–1500) has, like few others, influenced the fates and fortunes of countless human beings. It is the story of contact and cultural exchange across countries and creeds, affecting caliphs, kings, courtiers, courtesans, and the common crowd. In addition to being fascinating in its own right, it formed the roots from which modern Western medicine arose. Contr…
Avicenna (review)
This small volume provides a highly useful introduction to the life, ideas, and influence of Ibn Sina (d. 1037), known to Europeans as Avicenna. In addition to his hugely influential medical compendium, The Canon of Medicine (Kitab Qanun fi al-tibb), Avicenna composed an impressive number of major treatises (mostly in Arabic) on other topics: logic, metaphysics, psychology, music, astronomy, geometry, biology, and rhetoric. In twelve chapters, Go…
Persian Steel
A leading historian of Islamic metalwork and an expert on metallurgical analysis have combined to produce a volume that should be essential reading for those concerned with the history of steelmaking. Although ostensibly a catalog of Iranian steel objects collected by Parviz Tanavoli, their book [End Page 601] presents—to the extent that current research permits—a comprehensive history of steelmaking in Iran and nearby regions from the ninth cent…
Globes at Greenwich
The National Maritime Museum in Greenwich has the world's largest collection of globes and related instruments. This beautifully illustrated and well-executed volume catalogs 272 Western terrestrial or celestial globes, 12 Islamic celestial globes, 25 Western armillary spheres, 11 Western planetaria, and 19 celestial planispheres. The latter are included in the catalog because, in Europe during the nineteenth century, the planisphere came to repl…

Western Astrolabes
The astrolabe has become a symbol of medieval and Renaissance science. Yet few who see such striking instruments appreciate their function, complexity, variety, or history. Everyone who works in the field of medieval astronomical instrumentation has benefited by the generous and enthusiastic assistance of Roderick and Marjorie Webster, for many years curators of the collection at the Adler Planetarium in Chicago. Their catalog of western astrolab…
