Reviews

Mit 'Hospital Life' liegt ein wichtiger Band zur Hospital- und Krankenhausgeschichte vor. Er lohnt sich nicht nur wegen des Ueberblicks ueber aktuelle Forschungen und zahlreiche bisher wenig genutzte Quellen, sondern auch wegen der innovativen Fragestellungen, welche die herkoemmliche Fortschrittsgeschichte der Medizinhistorie zur Disposition stellen. (Christina Vanja, Vierteljahrschrift fuer Sozial- und Wirtschaftsgeschichte 101.4, 2014)
