DESCRIPTION:
"Plenty of charts and detail throughout" according to Midwest Book Review. What do early medical maps have to do with modern GIS maps? How can patterns of diseases from the past relate to those in modern times created by GIS? Dr. Koch is a geographer, bioethicist, and here explores relationships between medicine and mapmaking from paper-based to computer-based today. Chapters follow early epidemics, mapmaking processes and myths, public health and medical developments, and more as it examines those who made maps, cartography issues, and medical history. Plenty of charts and detail throughout.. E. Jaksetic said Thoughtful, informative book on history of medical mapping. The author discusses the history of medical mapping (from the late 1600s to the early "Thoughtful, informative book on history of medical mapping" according to E. Jaksetic. The author discusses the history of medical mapping (from the late 1600s to the early 2000s), and explores how it has developed and evolved in the face of advances in the medical sciences and improvements in mapmaking techniques and technology.

Referencing maps older than John Snow's famous cholera maps of London in the mid-19th century, this survey pulls from the plague maps of the 1600s, while addressing current issues concerning the ability of GIS technology to track diseases worldwide.. The history of medical mapping is traced—from its growth in the 19th century during an era of trade and immigration to its renaissance in the 1990s during a new era of globalization. A comprehensive survey of the technology of mapping and its relationship to the battle against disease, this look at medical mapping advances a radical argument that maps are not merely representations of spatial realities but a way of thinking about relations between viral and bacterial communities, human hosts, and the environments in which diseases flourish
