A Nutrition Foundations' Reprint of The Diseases of Children and Their Remedies
Abstract: In addition to a reprint of the classic nutrition treatise, a history of the author's university, comments on his book, and comments on Anders Sparrmena's translation of the book are included. Rosen von Rosenstein's book is one of the benchmark studies in the history of pediatrics and infant nutrition; for example, he was aware of the nutritional basis of rickets. If work in medicine is not to be haphazard, but rather to follow well-laid plans, the guidance of history is necessary. First-rate, important work in this field cannot be produced without a combination of historical and experimental methods. The historical perspective of this book should be of interest to most nutrition professionals.
Japan and the Dutch 1600-1853
This is the history of Dutch influence on Japan during the so-called 'closed centuries' between 1640 and 1853. Dutch maritime traders provided the only commercial link which Japan maintained with the west, and were thus the sole channel for western ideas and knowledge to reach neo-Confucian society. Professor Goodman explains the circumstances of the Dutch themselves in Japan during the seventeenth century, and the historical and intellectual milieu within which 'Dutch studies' were nurtured. He traces the initial interest of the Shogun government in European astronomy and medicine, and the gradual development of interest in wider spheres of western knowledge and culture.
