520    Knowledge and Context in Tibetan Medicine is a collection 
       of ten essays in which a team of international scholars 
       describe and interpret Tibetan medical knowledge. With 
       subjects ranging from the relationship between Tibetan and
       Greco-Arab conceptions of the bodily humors, to the 
       rebranding of Tibetan precious pills for cross-cultural 
       consumption in the People's Republic of China, each 
       chapter explores representations and transformations of 
       medical concepts across different historical, cultural, 
       and/or intellectual contexts. Taken together this volume 
       offers new perspectives on both well-known Tibetan medical
       texts and previously unstudied sources, blazing new trails
       and expanding the scope of the academic study of Tibetan 
       medicine. Contributors include: Henk W.A. Blezer, Yang Ga,
       Tony Chui, Katharina Sabernig, Tawni Tidwell, Tsering 
       Samdrup, Carmen Simioli, William A. McGrath, Susannah 
       Deane and Barbara Gerke.
