Of the Epidemics

Hippocrates Hippocrates

Summary

Hippocrates of Kos (c. 460 - c. 370 BC) was a Greek physician of the classical period who is considered one of the most outstanding figures in the history of medicine. He is traditionally referred to as the “Father of Medicine” and the Hippocratic school of medicine revolutionized ancient Greek medicine, establishing it as a discipline distinct from other fields with which it had traditionally been associated (theurgy and philosophy), thus establishing medicine as a profession.Our publishing house brings to the attention of readers the treatise Of the Epidemics, attributed to Hippocrates, in the translation from ancient Greek into English made in the nineteenth century by Francis Adams, a Scottish medical doctor and translator of many Greek, Roman and Arabic ancient medical works. It is the first true historical, medical and scientific treatise of antiquity on the theme of epidemics.

Chile's Economic Journey - From...

Anya Solace

Chile’s economic history is a complex tale of growth, struggle, and transformation, reflecting the broader trajectory of Latin America. From its colonial roots to its modern-day status as one of South America’s most stable economies, Chile has undergone significant changes, shaped by internal dynamics and global forces. This chapter provides an overview of Chile’s economic evolution, emphasizing the historical context that has influenced its development.
The story begins with the Spanish colonization of Chile in the 16th century. During the colonial period, the economy was primarily centered around the extraction of natural resources, particularly silver and gold, though these industries were not as developed as in other parts of Latin America. Instead, Chile’s economic foundation rested on agriculture, particularly the production of crops such as wheat and the raising of livestock. The Spanish settlers also introduced a feudal landholding system, which entrenched social hierarchies that persisted long after independence.
Chile's path to independence in the early 19th century marked the beginning of its economic transition. As the country sought to build its identity and self-sufficiency, early economic policies focused on fostering local industries. However, the nation faced significant challenges, including political instability, internal conflicts, and a lack of infrastructure. These early years were marked by attempts to diversify the economy, but Chile's reliance on agriculture, particularly wheat exports, continued to dominate.
