Stanford University Press Bad Medicine
Book SynopsisShows how local drug firms in the Third World have taken advantage of loose regulatory practices and unscrupulous behavior on the part of regional and national health care professionals to promote the sale of dangerous or worthless drugs as remedies for diseases for which they were never intended.Trade Review'Bad Medicine offers a wealth of information which is urgently needed by health policy planners, health professionals, consumers, and the pharmaceutical industry. To my knowledge, this objective and well-documented data, which is thoroughly assessed and interpreted, is available nowhere else.

Rutgers University Press Blood on Their Hands How Greedy Companies Inept
Book SynopsisBy the mid-1980s, over half the hemophiliacs in the United States had become infected with HIV. Blood on Their Hands reveals the toxic combination of corporate greed, governmental complacency, and medical negligence that exacerbated this public health disaster.Trade Review"Weinberg, a member of the legal team behind a 1994 class action negligence lawsuit, lends astounding detail to the suffering of unwitting patients... The authors make a powerful and important case by unveiling the suffering that devastated families know 'could have been entirely prevented.'" * Publishers Weekly *"This book will make your blood boil at the inhumanity of people who knew they were killing patients by the thousands and kept right on, caring for themselves and their pocketbooks. Eric Weinberg and Donna Shaw tell a powerful human story that is hard to put down and will be even harder to forget." -- David Cay Johnston * Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter and best-selling author *"Blood on Their Hands is a well-written, gripping, and important book – thorough and engaging. Weinberg and Shaw have crafted a valuable addition to the literature of the AIDS tragedy." -- Douglas Starr * author of Blood: An Epic History of Medicine and Commerce *"An impressively informative, thoughtful and thought-provoking expose of one of the American medical system's most shameful debacles in living memory, "Blood on Their Hands: How Greedy Companies, Inept Bureaucracy, and Bad Science Killed Thousands of Hemophiliacs" is a vivid example that through perseverance and the American justice systems, the victims of pharmaceutical corporate greed, corrupt or incompetent politicians, uninformed and negligent physicians can achieve deserved recompense for themselves and those they love. Exceptionally well written, organized and presented study... "Blood on Their Hands" is an especially recommended addition to both community and academic library collections" -- Willis M. Buhle * Midwest Book Review *"Eric Weinberg and his recent work, co-authored with Rutgers journalism professor Donna Shaw, Blood on Their Hands: How Greedy Companies, Inept Bureaucracy, and Bad Science Killed Thousands of Hemophiliacs... I hope it's widely read and reviewed" -- David Introcaso * Healthcare Policy Podcast *"While triumphantly heartwarming, the narrative especially highlights how easily the litigation could have divided, dissolved, and failed. And in all the hurt, sickness, sadness and anger--the resolve and championing spirit of the hemophilia community yet rises." * Matrix Health News *"Donna Shaw’s book traces the bloodline of tainted hemophilia drugs" by Catherine Bialkowski * TCNJ *"Blood on Their Hands: How Greedy Companies, Inept Bureaucracy, and Bad Science Killed Thousands of Hemophiliacs" by Jason Zasky * Failure Magazine *"Blood on Their Hands is a must-read for anyone interested in the historic settlement between American hemophilia patients and the industry that made the products that exposed them to deadly HIV and hepatis infections. The book’s unsubtle title signals to potential readers that they have before them a story of colossal wrongdoing and collective failure." * Perspectives in Biology and Medicine *Table of ContentsPreface and Acknowledgments Note on Text 1 Liquid Gold 2 Beginnings 3 How Could It Happen and Nobody Did Anything Wrong? 4 A History Ignored 5 Digging In 6 Reaching Out 7 Help Wanted 8 All for Business 9 Somewhere Here, I Have the Documents 10 More Lawyers, More Experts 11 A Meeting with Roger 12 An Act of Man 13 The Trouble with Torts 14 I Murdered My Child, But Not Alone 15 Of Sheep and Men 16 A Failure of Leadership 17 From Prime Chuck to Dogeza 18 Endings Epilogue Notes Index

Rutgers University Press Not Quite a Cancer Vaccine Selling Hpv and
Book SynopsisMedical anthropologist S.D. Gottlieb explores how the vaccine Gardasil - developed against the most common sexually-transmitted infection, human papillomavirus (HPV) - was marketed primarily as a cervical cancer vaccine. Gardasil quickly became implicated in two pre-existing debates - about adolescent sexuality and paediatric vaccinations more generally.Trade Review"Not Quite a Cancer Vaccine offers an intimate examination of HPV vaccine narratives, traced through public media, clinics, conferences, and public policy debates. In an era of commodified health care, such explorations are necessary to lay bare the motivations of health interventions as a public good only after corporate interests are served. Despite their potential good, inappropriate promotions of new technologies may minimize or even ignore the health inequities they aim to address." -- Nicola L. Bulled * editor of Thinking Through Resistance *“This exciting book analyzes the cultural struggles over the vaccine Gardasil as both a source of corporate profit and an icon in the moral imagination of patients, doctors and health activists. Gottlieb expertly blends anthropology, media studies and feminist critique to illuminate how “disease threats” are defined in our era of corporate medicine and polarized politics.” -- Paul Brodwin * professor of anthropology, UW-Milwaukee; secondary appointment in bioethics, Medical College of WI *ReachMD "Primary Care Today" interview with Samantha Gottlieb * ReachMD "Primary Care Today" *Table of Contents1 Introduction 1 2 Imminent Vulnerability and Commodified Empowerment 20 3 The Pap Smear, Racist Histories, and “Cervix” Cancer 36 4 Educate the Educators 54 5 Merck and the FDA 70 6 Vaccines and Politics 83 7 Complicity with Corporations 99 8 Mothers and Gardasil 116 9 The “Tragically Underused” Vaccine 136 Acknowledgments 145 Notes 149 Bibliography 177 Index 193

CABI Publishing Cherries Crop Physiology Production and Uses
Book SynopsisThe sweet cherry is one of the most popular of temperate fruit crops with consumers and is grown commercially in more than 40 countries of the world, in temperate, Mediterranean, subtropical and arid regions of all continents. The sour cherry is cultivated in fewer countries, mainly in Europe and the USA, and is used mainly in processed cherry products. Until recently, horticultural improvement of cherries as a commercial crop has been slow, and major production problems such as bird damage, rain-induced cracking, and bacterial diseases, have remained. However, in the last 25 years, major developments have occurred. New improved varieties of sweet cherry have been bred which have larger fruit, are more disease resistant and set fruit more reliably.

CABI Publishing Starter Packs
Book SynopsisDespite repeated interventions by governments, donors and NGOs in recent years, food insecurity continues and developing countries are forced to rely on food aid again and again. The original idea of Starter Pack was to give a tiny bag of agricultural inputs - fertiliser and seed - to every smallholder farmer in Malawi. Although the programme did not work as originally intended, it was successful in achieving food security. The scaling down of the programme was a major contributor to the food crisis which hit Malawi (and other countries in Southern Africa) at the beginning of 2002. For once, we have a success story about how hunger can be tackled efficiently. This book assesses the case of the Starter Pack programme in Malawi, and whether it can be replicated elsewhere. It covers the practicalities of implementing such a large programme and the policy debates.Table of Contents1: Introduction, Sarah Levy Part 1: Origins and Management of Starter Pack 2: The Origin and Concept of Starter Pack, Malcolm Blackie and Charles K Mann 3: The Players and the Policy Issues, Harry Potter 4: The Logistics and Costs of Implementation, Charles Clark 5: Pack Distribution and the Role of Vouchers, Anthony Cullen and Max Lawson Part 2: Methodology of the Evaluation Programme 6: Design of the Evaluation Programme, Ian M Wilson 7: Experience and Innovation: How the Research Methods Evolved, Carlos Barahona 8: Lessons on Management of Large-scale Research Programmes, Sarah Levy Part 3: Lessons from Starter Pack 9: Production, Prices and Food Security: How Starter PackWorks, Sarah Levy 10: The Farmer's Perspective - Values, Incentives and Constraints, Jan Kees van Donge 11: Do Free Inputs Crowd Out the Private Sector in Agricultural Input Markets?, Clement Nyirongo 12: Practical and Policy Dilemmas of Targeting Free Inputs,Blessings Chinsinga 13: Starter Pack and Sustainable Agriculture, Carlos Barahona and Elizabeth Cromwell 14: The Challenges of Agricultural Extension, Chris Garforth 15: Why Free Inputs Failed in the Winter Season, Hiester Gondwe 16: Financing and Macroeconomic Impact: How Does Starter Pack Compare?, Sarah Levy Part 4: By Special Invitation 17: Poverty, AIDS and Food Crises, Anne C Conroy 18: Food Security Policies and Starter Pack: A Challenge for Donors?, Jane Harrigan 19: Feeding Malawi from Neighbouring Countries,Martin J Whiteside 20: Starter Pack in Rural Development Strategies, Andrew Dorward and Jonathan Kydd 21: Conclusion, Sarah Levy

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Genetic Resources Equity and International Law
Book SynopsisThis book examines current developments in international law which regulate the uses of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture, and the various property regimes which are applied to these resources by these international agreements.Trade Review'Camena Guneratne's thought-provoking book critically evaluates the clash between the private property approach to genetic resources embedded in international intellectual property conventions, and the competing values embedded in a variety of other conventions and laws. She contests key assumptions behind intellectual property regimes supporting genetic commerce, distinguishing the genetic "commons" from other types of resource. This book provides a comprehensive scholarly dealing with the topics noted in its title, but also should increase debate about policy failures in responding to the risks to the underprivileged of the instruments we use to pursue our economic interests of the majority.' - Paul Martin, University of New England, Australia 'This is a wonderful book. All too often in the quest to preserve biodiversity, we forget that the equation of equity has to be at the forefront of the debates on sustainable development. Dr Guneratne rectifies this mistake. In doing so, she shows us that in many of the most importance instances, we are not only losing large parts of the natural basis on which humanity depends, but also the ability to control the political and legal processes of which many of the world's poorest people depend. This linkage between biodiversity, politics and international law is of such a high calibre, that it is likely that this work will become a key text for students and scholars alike.' --- Alexander Gillespie, University of Waikato, New ZealandTable of ContentsContents: 1.

Beginning with an account of GM crop adoptions and attitudes towards them, the book assesses numerous crucial processes, concluding with detailed insights into GM products.Trade Review'This is a timely assessment of the current and possible future status of GMOs, with useful observations on what has been learned along the way and how this knowledge might be applied. Well edited and produced.' -- L. C. Devis, Kansas State University, Choice‘This Handbook covers a contentious topic, so the approach of the editors is refreshing, especially their transparent introduction as to how they organized their work. A key theme is evidence. I have been involved in agro-biotechnology for 25 years, mainly at the international level; I know that evidence is what matters. This is a comprehensive coverage of many aspects of agro-biotechnology but it is easy to navigate through the chapters and follow any number of issues of interest.’ -- – Peter Kearns, OECD, Paris‘This Handbook is a tour de force, providing fascinating insights and nourishments for the mind that will shape views and visions. The rich interplay between science and society, between agriculture and development, comprehensively addressed in this Handbook is a must-read for anyone wishing to make a meaningful contribution to global development.’ -- Anatole Krattiger, Cornell University, US‘Over the last two decades one of the great global emerging technological trends has been the shift from chemistry to biology in agriculture. Bitterly contested and enduringly controversial, the shift to biotechnology has nevertheless led to greater sustainability and promises even greater gains in years to come.

Liverpool University Press Trawling The Rise and Fall of the British Trawl
Book SynopsisA distinct branch of the multi-faceted fishing industry, trawling dates back at least to the 1370s when attempts were made to prohibit the use of a primitive trawling device, the 'wondyrychoun' on the Thames.Trade ReviewRobb Robinson ... has made an important contribution to a field that is only going to grow in importance ... Trawling makes a particularly strong mark simply in the way it conveys to the reader the everyday working lives of British trawl fishermen. We also gain valuable insight into the maritime trades that supported trawling. The objective, yet humanly transcendent, tone with which Robinson evokes the rigours and danger of trawling in ever more distant waters has seldom been matched by maritime historians dealing with this labour issue. There is a level of ethnographic authority in Robinson's narrative (possibly due to his family's longtime involvement in the industry) that soundly situates the reader in the trawlerman's distinct culture, from the benefits that accrued to being affiliated with a successful skipper to the struggles to achieve unionization among commercial fishing's rank-and-file... One can feel the rhythms of the fisherman's community in Robinson's commentary - time spent not only at sea, but in the home, in the pub, and on the docks. Indeed, Trawling is one of the few treatments of this maritime industry that acknowledges the significant role women played in a setting where men were frequently gone. Trawling further contributes to fisheries history by discussing the unique role trawlermen played as small-boat handlers in the Trawler Section of Royal Naval Reserve during World War I; the Royal Naval Patrol Section during World War II; and as ever-present lifesavers during peacetime. As can be inferred from Robinson's title, trawling's symbolism and tangible effect will resonate economically and environmentally for years to come. To this end, Trawling is commendable for its methodological, interpretive, and substantive contributions to the international community of maritime historians.International Journal of Maritime HistoryThis is not the final statement on the history of trawling but it is the most valuable contribution to the literature so far. It should be read by everyone who claims a say in fisheries policy matters and also as a case study of the rise and fall of a major industry under the special infliences of a common-property resource, governmental management and international law.The Northern MarinerRobinson's treatment is sufficiently academic to satisfy the specialist but also an absorbing read for the layman.The Maritime YearbookOf all the most important industries and occupations, historians have paid least attention to fishing. Robb Robinson's book is likely to change this. It is an excellent pioneering study and opens up a vast field of new research opportunities.Mariner's Mirror, vol. 83'A detailed, accessible, well written account of British Trawler industry by fine teacher, writer and historian.'

Johns Hopkins University Press The Emergence of Oligopoly
Book SynopsisOriginally published in 1969. In describing the emergence of oligopoly, Professor Eichner has written a history of the American sugar refining industry, one based in part on records of the United States Department of Justice. Sugar refining was one of the first major industries to be consolidated, and its expertise was in many ways typical of the development of other industries. Eichner's focus is on the changing pattern of industrial organization. This study is based on a unique four-stage model of the process by which the industrial structure of the American economy has evolved. The first part of the book traces the early history of the sugar refining industry and argues that the classical model of a competitive industry is inherently unstable once large fixed investments are required. The more closely sugar refining approximated this model, the more unstable the model became in practice. This instability led, in 1887, to the formation of the sugar trust. The author contends that theTable of ContentsPreface Chapter 1. The Larger Framework Chapter 2. The Emergence of a Competitive Industry Chapter 3. Competition and Instability Chapter 4.

Johns Hopkins University Press Ships for the Seven Seas
Book SynopsisThomas R. Heinrich explores American shipbuilding from the workshop level to subcontracting networks spanning the Delaware Valley. Winner of the North American Society for Oceanic History's John Lyman Book AwardOriginally published in 1996. Sustained by a skilled work force and the Pennsylvania iron and steel industry, Philadelphia shipbuilders negotiated the transition from wooden to iron hull construction earlier and far more easily that most other builders. Between the Civil War and World War I, Philadelphia emerged as the vital center of American shipbuilding, constructing a wide variety of vessel types such as passenger liners, freighters, battleships, and cruisers. In Ships for the Seven Seas, Thomas R. Heinrich explores this complex industry from the workshop level to subcontracting networks spanning the Delaware Valley. He describes entrepreneurial strategies and industrial change that facilitated the rise of major shipbuilding firms; how naval architecture, marine engineerTrade ReviewHeinrich has written a detailed, compelling account of iron and steel shipbuilding . . .

Book SynopsisIntroduced at the 1876 Centennial Exposition and powered by an historic advertising campaign, Hires Root Beerlaunched 10 years before Coca-Colablazed the trail for development of the American soft drink industry. Its inventor, Charles Elmer Hires, has been described as a tycoon with the soul of a chemist. In addition to creating root beer, Hires, a devoted family man and a pillar of the Quaker community, became a leading importer of botanical commodities, an authority on the vanilla bean. Starting from scratch, he also built one of the world's largest condensed milk companies. Charles E. Hires and the Drink that Wowed a Nation chronicles the humble origin and meteoric business success of this extraordinary entrepreneur. Author Bill Double uses published interviews, correspondence, newspaper reports, magazine articles, financial data, and a small family archive to tell this story of native ingenuity.

University of Toronto Press Inventories and the Business Cycle
Book SynopsisThis study falls into two parts. Part I contains a theoretical analysis of the relation of inventories and inventory fluctuations to the business cycle. It begins with a brief survey of the treatment of inventories in the literature of business cycles. Then a theoretical model of the economic system is developed as a basis for judging the nature and importance of inventory fluctuations in the economy. Part II is a study of inventory fluctuations in Canada over the period from 1918 to 1950 and provides some inductive verification of the preceding theoretical argument. The behaviour of inventories in ten important manufacturing industries is analysed in detail. This part also contains analysis of the movement of total inventories and of the behaviour of inventories in the main industrial subdivisions of the economy. Finally a brief chapter relates these findings to the theoretical analysis of Part I.Canadian Studies in Economics, No. 10.
