The New York Times 'Stunning ... An impressively researched and richly detailed narrative.' TIME Randy Shilts was the first openly gay journalist dealing with gay issues for the San Francisco Chronicle. In 1981, the year when AIDS came to international attention, he quickly devoted himself to reporting on the developing epidemic, one which devastated his community and eventually took his life as well.   Shilts interviewed over 1,000 people, weaving together extensive research in the form of personal stories and political reportage. He was perfectly placed to understand the cultural, medical and political impact of the disease on the gay community and United States society as a whole.    And the Band Played On exposes why AIDS was allowed to spread while the medical and political authorities ignored and even denied the threat. This book remains one of the great works of contemporary journalism and provides the foundation for continuing debates over governmental failure in handling lethal epidemics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/h2\u003eRivals in power and intensity, and in the brilliance of its reporting and writing, Truman Capote's In Cold Blood * Boston Globe *\u003cbr\u003eStunning ...

But what if instead health researchers measure--and policies address--how people biologically embody their societal and ecological context?Ecosocial Theory, Embodied Truths, and the People''s Health represents a daring new foray into analyzing how population patterns of health reveal the intersections of lived experience and biology in historical context. Expanding on Nancy Krieger''s original ecosocial theory of disease distribution, this volume lays new theoretical groundwork about embodiment and health justice through concrete and novel examples involving pathways such as workplace discrimination, relationship abuse, Jim Crow, police violence, pesticides, fracking, green space, and climate change. It offers a crucial counterargument to dominant biomedical and public health narratives attributing causality to either innate biology or decontextualized health behaviors and provides a key step forward towards understanding and addressing the structural drivers of health inequities and health justice.Bridging insights from politics, history, sociology, ecology, biology, and public health, Ecosocial Theory, Embodied Truths, and the People''s Health presents a bold new framework to transform biomedical and population health thinking, practice, and policies and to advance health equity across a deeply threatened planet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/h2\u003eA tour de force, Nancy Krieger's latest book weaves together decades of her own pioneering work integrating ecosocial theory, empirical research, and transformative policy and politics.

To me this book could not be much better to see a junior doctor pass through the Foundation Programme both safely and successfully. * Tom Hesse, East Cheshire NHS Trust *\u003cbr\u003eThis is an absolute gem of a book...It really is a highly impressive and well-thought out companion to the early years of a medical career, and which I have no hesitation in recommending to all junior doctors looking for a reassuring companion on the wards. * British Medical Association Book Awards Finalists *\u003cbr\u003eReview from previous edition    The real gems in this book are in the clinical presentations section, where management is arranged according to presenting complaint rather than by condition...a book...pitched at the right level for a junior doctor. * British Journal of Hospital Medicine *\u003cbr\u003eI would whole-heartedly recommend this book to any new doctors. It deals with all the situations I have encountered so far as a FY1. Realistic and focussed, it's a fantastic resource. Every new junior doctor should have a copy. And, as I have found, for some things their seniors will want to look at it too. * BMA Book Awards *\u003cbr\u003eI have found this book extremely useful as a final year medical student and have often referred to it whilst on the ward. I would recommend it to any final year medical student starting their 5th year placement as well as newly qualified doctors. * GKT Gazette *\u003cbr\u003eThis book, which like all Oxford Handbooks can slip into your white coat pocket with ease, really does have within its 574 pages all you are likely to come across in your first two years post qualification - in short, it's what medical school should have taught you but as we all know, there's a fair sized gap between having the knowledge and actually putting it into clinical practice. * Dr Jeremy Sager *\u003cbr\u003eThis book is a product of the daily experience of junior docs and it shows, there are top tips galore and sound advice. * Glasgow Medical School Journal *\u003cbr\u003eThe Oxford Handbook for the Foundation Programme (OHFP) is a comfort blanket for all newly qualified, shiny badged doctors. The opening chapter has a feel good component to it, which similar rival publications are lacking. All is disclosed here to spare your graces on the ward rounds and in front of the dreaded ward sister. Important pieces on life organisation, money management, making referrals, managing on-calls, writing discharge summaries, and even what to carry in your limited pocket space are addressed. This section alone is worth parting with cash for. Much of the unwritten hospital etiquette and concerns when starting out in medicine are answered with reassurance dynamic and comforting. * BMJ *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h2\u003e1: Being a doctor 2: Life on the wards 3: History and examination 4: Prescribing 5: Pharmacopoeia 6: Resuscitation 7: Cardiovascular 8: Respiratory 9: Gastroenterology 10: Endocrinology 11: Neurology 12: Psychiatry 13: Fluids and renal 14: Haematology 15: Skin and eyes 16: Emergency department 17: Procedures 18: Interpreting results 19: Appendices","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48732793274711,"sku":"9780198813538","price":34.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780198813538.jpg?v=1719998426"},{"product_id":"oxford-handbook-of-primary-care-and-community-nursing-9780198831822","title":"Oxford Handbook of Primary Care and Community","description":"\u003ch2\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/h2\u003eFully updated for its third edition, the Oxford Handbook of Primary Care and Community Nursing is the essential guide to caring for patients in primary care and in community settings.

Health depends on the kind of society we are. The factors that are most important in the relationships between health and welfare are multiple and they themselves interact. The scientific method that deals with 'this complexity is the systems approach. It is the necessary complement to the search for single drug interventions and it is sorely needed in today's aging societies. It respects the system as a whole, whether that system is the human body, or human society. It searches for the range of conditions that will keep us healthy. The authors have written a book that should be widely read by politicians, economists, health providers, financiers, medical researchers - in fact anyone who wishes to reconcile our economic and health priorities.

Part manifesto, part popular science, its real importance lies in its bold and broad view of health and how all of a polity's public policy should, ultimately, be directed towards the 'health' of the population. This involves a redefinition of 'health', that directs much more focus, appropriately and importantly, to the kinds of policy interventions that would best prevent, rather than merely treat, disease, especially 'the modern plagues of diabetes, depression, heart disease and cancer'. In elegant prose and evidence-led argument, Yuille and Ollier clamour for radical, worthwhile change. Listen! What they propose is most applicable to affluent societies like Britain, but its lessons can be applied to most other parts of the world, bar the extremely impoverished.

It is useful for practitioners too, with excellent text and case examples of how different nations approach innovation and quality measurement — e.g. pay for performance models — and full discussions of regulations of drugs and devices. All in all, a terrific book for those of us frustrated by the plethora of ‘shoulds’ and the shortages of ‘how tos’ in healthcare innovations.'Regina HerzlingerHarvard Business SchoolAcross the world, the demands placed on health systems are growing rapidly. Developed countries face the challenge of providing services to an ageing population with changing health needs, while countries with developing health systems must find ways of ensuring their populations are provided with access to healthcare. Innovative thinking is essential to meet these twin challenges, but innovation is both a cause and cure of many struggles in healthcare — we need it, but it is hard to manage and the introduction of new technology can lead to higher costs.Using real-life examples and case studies from around the world, this book introduces the latest thinking on understanding and managing healthcare innovation more effectively. It does this from the perspective of governments responsible for shaping health policy, healthcare organisations providing services and juggling competing demands, and from the perspective of the industries that supply the new drugs, devices and other technologies.Managing Innovation in Healthcare is the perfect accompaniment for MSc, PhD and MBA students on health policy, management and public health courses, as well as managers, consultants and policy makers involved in healthcare services in both the public and private sector.","brand":"World Scientific Europe Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48741446156631,"sku":"9781786341525","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781786341525.jpg?v=1720057608"},{"product_id":"disease-9781788213912","title":"Disease","description":"\u003ch2\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1942 life expectancy at birth was 66 for women and 60 for men.

Providing a comprehensive health system resilience agenda, policy-makers, public health specialists, health managers, scholars and practitioners will find in this work both a grounded framework for the assessment of the level of resilience of healthcare systems and organizations, and specific actionable changes that should be pursued to consolidate and improve that level of resilience.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUltimately, this work identifies desirable paths of action through the investigation of real-world cases to improve health systems and organizations capacity and capability to face any future dramatic crisis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1.

Further, the emerging focus on value-based healthcare has increased performance expectations. To improve capability to face these challenges, doctors were “transformed” by health organizations and systems into more hybrid figures, i.e., doctor-managers and most recently clinical leaders.
