A talk by Harold Cook, Thursday, April 23, 2009 at 4:15pm. Lane History Corner, Room 307. Open to Stanford faculty and graduate students who are affiliated with the Clayman Institute. Professor Hal Cook is the Director of The Wellcome Trust Centre for the History of Medicine at University College London, helping to promote the discipline throughout the world as making fundamental contributions to the understanding of the human condition. In his academic work, he continues to investigate subjects related to early modern English medicine, but now gives most of his energy to medicine and natural history in the Dutch Golden Age in an attempt to reassess the relationships between the beginnings of a world-wide trading system and a world-wide exchange of information about nature.
