摘要

The exponential growth of the pharmaceutical industry in the second half of the twentieth century has been a significant international phenomenon offering a rich area for exploration by historians from many disciplines, including those of science, technology, medicine, and business. However, understanding the developments in health care and medical knowledge and their application in society stretches the subject more widely still, as is evidenced by the three themes common to the eight chapters in this book. As noted by the coeditors, Andrea Tone and Elizabeth Siegel Watkins, these themes are the construction of diseases and treatments, the shifting boundaries between the definitions of normal and abnormal, and the way in which medical information about drugs and diseases has been communicated to patients and consumers so that drugs have been incorporated into popular culture. This sets the agenda for the contributors, each of whom analyzes the evolution of one drug or class of drugs and in so doing illustrates how perceptions changed over time.
