studies. What she reveals is a very complex mixed economy of care from the 1870s to the 1920s, with hospital provision often costing mid-sized UK towns more than larger ones, a case study of Liverpool underlining how policy varied geographically. While this might easily have become simply another book on twentieth-century health care in the UK and Ireland, this book, like the topic it covers, is a far more complex entity. The various chapters of this well-edited collection offer an extremely useful and refreshing introduction to students interested in the field of regional health care, summarising a rich seam of historical research. For this alone, I recommend it highly. However, the authors also, collectively, set an agenda for future research, which promises to guide the field, not only by addressing critical gaps in our knowledge, but by encouraging comparative, even multidisciplinary, approaches to voluntarism and regional health care in history.

artistic conceptions of realism and the values and concepts that guided medical practice. The joint analysis of artistic realism and scientific objectivity helps in understanding the complexity of both notions, as well as their social and political implications. In my opinion, this is one of the most interesting contributions of the book. Instead of taking for granted what these concepts mean, ...
