Fact and Fiction: exploring the history of medicine
First Knowledges Health: Spirit, Country and Culture
by Shawana Andrews, Sandra Eades and Fiona Stanley
The First Knowledges series offers an introduction to Indigenous knowledges in vital areas and their application to the present day and the future. Exploring practices such as songlines, architecture, design, land management, plants, astronomy and law, this series brings together two very different ways of understanding the world: one ancient and ongoing, the other modern. The eighth book focuses on health and wellbeing.
Location: Seminar Room G03, 233 Bouverie St, (Medical History Museum Building), Carlton
