Hypermobility of Joints
Joint hypermobility, joint laxity or "double-jointedness" is no longer regarded as just a quaint clinical entity, but has gained recognition as a feature common to a heterogeneous group of generalized hereditary connective tissue disorders. This monograph examines the scientific basis, clinical features and treatment of this syndrome. The second edition has been thoroughly updated, with new contributions to cover in depth three areas in which new scientific advances have been made: biochemistry, genetics, and biomechanics. The case histories make fascinating reading, and the comprehensive coverage of the rarer hereditary disorders provides a valuable reference. From the reviews of the first edition: "This little book deals with a somewhat neglected subject and will prove useful in a number of ways." British Journal of Plastic Surgery #1 "This is a delightful book full of stimulating ideas, by three authors who have pooled their thoughts and the results of their studies." Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine #2
The Making of Modern Chinese Medicine, 1850-1960
Medical care in nineteenth-century China was spectacularly pluralistic: herbalists, shamans, bone-setters, midwives, priests, and a few medical missionaries from the West all competed for patients. This book examines the dichotomy between "Western" and "Chinese" medicine, showing how it has been greatly exaggerated. As missionaries went to lengths to make their medicine more acceptable to Chinese patients, modernizers of Chinese medicine worked to become more "scientific" by eradicating superstition and creating modern institutions. Andrews challenges the supposed superiority of Western medicine in China while showing how "traditional" Chinese medicine was deliberately created in the image of a modern scientific practice.

中国医史
This work is a chronicle of medical happenings in China from ancient times down to the present day. It meets a long-felt demand for a concise and authoritative account of one of the most fascinating subjects in the evolutionary story of the Chinese people. The book consists of two parts: the first part deals with pure Chinese art and practice while the second part covers events after the advent of occidental medicine. Of late, considerable interest has been centered on China and things Chinese. This new edition, containing an epitome of all that is known both of the development of the indigenous art and the impact of modern medical science, will be greeted with an enthusiastic response. The author has spent over 16 years on this work. Hundreds of books and articles, both in English and Chinese, have been consulted and several doctors of the old school have been engaged to offer their expertise.
