Research Interests and Publications
Helaine’s academic interests concern different ways
of doing medicine and science. She is the editor of the Encyclopaedia
of the History of Science, Technology, and Medicine in Non-Western
Cultures (Kluwer, 1997). The encyclopedia, a collection of
almost 600 articles by almost 300 contributors, covers a range
of topics from Aztec science and Chinese medicine to Tibetan
astronomy and Indian ethnobotany. She is also at work on a
new series called Science Across Cultures. In it, the breadth
of the encyclopedia is complemented by books that explore
the topics in greater depth. The first two books, Astronomy
Across Cultures and Mathematics Across Cultures, were published
in 2000. Medicine Across Cultures and Nature Across Cultures
are in press and should be out in 2003.
In addition to the publications on science, Helaine has several
articles on various aspects of being a librarian at Hampshire.
