Science and medicine have been critical to southern history and the formation of southern culture.

For three centuries, scientists in the South have documented the lush natural world around them and set a lasting tradition of inquiry.

The medical history of the region, however, has been at times tragic.

Disease, death, and generations of poor health have been the legacy of slavery, the plantation economy, rural life, and poorly planned cities.

The essays in this volume explore this legacy as well as recent developments in technology, research, and medicine in the South.
