Explorations in Baltic Medical History, 1850-2015. brings together a wide range of diverse topics: one article exemplifies the migration of medical knowledge by describing the development of gymnastics, whereas another sheds light on the role of intercultural exchange between Eastern and Western concepts of melancholy. This volume unifies these findings and sheds light on new information that will be invaluable to readers from the field of medical history.
