About The Book
During the colonial rule the newly introduced health care system developed reasonably well but regrettably its pharmaceutical component remained neglected. It needed a long-drawn out struggle to improve its lot. In this tome, second on builders and awareness creators of modern pharmacy, the lives and contributions of a dozen of the forebears are profiled.
Reviews
■ “This book, like the previous ones on the series has been rigorously researched and is meticulously referenced. The next step is to present this material in a broad social, political and cultural and economic context, and to locate it in the wider literature on the history of pharmacy and medicine; Singh has created an important legacy on which future social historians of pharmacy can build”
