  Exploring notions of balance in medical cultures across Eurasia, Africa and the Americas, from antiquity to the present, the volume revisits harmony and holism as main characteristics of those traditions. It foregrounds a dynamic notion of balance and asks how balance is defined or conceptualized, by whom, for whom and in what circumstances.
