Galen synthesized the entirety of Greek medicine as a  basis for his own doctrines and practice, which comprehensively  embraced theory, practical knowledge, experiment, logic, and a deep  understanding of human life and society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis treatise \u003ci\u003eHygiene\u003c\/i\u003e, also known as “On the Preservation of Health” (\u003ci\u003eDe sanitate tuenda\u003c\/i\u003e),  was written during one of Galen’s most prolific periods (170–180) and  ranks among his most important and influential works, providing a  comprehensive account of the practice of preventive medicine that still  has relevance today. Also included in this two-volume edition are two  shorter treatises on the relationship between health and wellness. \u003ci\u003eThrasybulus\u003c\/i\u003e  explores the theoretical question of whether hygiene is part of  medicine or gymnastics, and in so doing delineates the interrelated  roles of doctors and physical therapists. \u003ci\u003eOn Exercise with a Small Ball\u003c\/i\u003e strenuously advocates that activity’s superiority to all other forms of exercise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56451417244022,"sku":"9780674997134","price":23.86,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_41275500_25f45904-1869-4c0c-a940-246eeb9531d4.jpg?v=1778785524","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780674997134-hygiene-volume-ii","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
