New York University Press Revolutionary Medicine
Book SynopsisThe state of medicine and public healthcare today is still a work in progress, but these founders played a significant role in beginning the conversation that shaped the contours of its development.Trade Review"Five case studies demonstrate the new nations state of medical practice, the founders bouts of illness and the republican ideal that individual and national health were connected-the roots, Abrams argues, of repeated attempts to rationalize our national health-care system." * American History *"In addition to the broad yet intensely personal health concerns Abrams describes, a key strength ofRevolutionary Medicineis the humanization of the Founders. For denizens of the twenty-first century, the Founders often seem frozen as portraits on currency or entombed forever as inanimate, superhuman monuments and statues. Abrams reminds us that they were flesh-and-blood souls navigating lives in many ways similar to ours." * North Carolina Historical Review *"One of the "Top Books for Docs" in 2013." * Medscape *"[Revolutionary Medicine] is a solid descriptive account of the medical world of our founding fathers." * Journal of Interdisciplinary History *"Using the prism of public health, Jeanne E. Abrams, in her book Revolutionary Medicine, examines how the health of the founding mothers and fathers affected both the individuals concerned and the nation as a whole. Looking at the lives of such luminaries as George and Martha Washington, Benjamin Franklin, John and Abigail Adams, James and Dolley Madison, and Thomas Jefferson, Abrams examines how illness impacted the lives of these individuals, and how their reaction to theses illnesses mirrored those of the nation as a whole. Most important, in this compelling work, Abrams shows how the personal experiences of these leading citizens encouraged them to advocate for a governmental role in the nation's developing healthcare systemA combination of medical and political history, Revolutionary Medicine provides a keen overview of the state of medical science during the revolutionary period. She writes in an engaging narrative style that makes this work accessible to both academics and lay readers with an interest in American history, or the history of medicine and public health in the 18th century." * History in Review *"Abrams paints a picture of an era in medical history that is at once humorous, horrific and fascinating." * Intermountain Jewish News *"Abrams tells the founders stories in a lucid and engaging narrative voice. She renders their pains and pleasures with sensitivity and insight. Its pages will hold few surprises for the specialist, but any reader interested in the revolutionary era or the lives of the American founders will surely learn a great deal from Abramss study." -- Simon Finger * Bulletin of the History of Medicine *"Revolutionary Medicine fills a significant niche. Its subject is not entirely pristine, but Abrams adds much and synthesises masterfully. Her book deserves to be a source of reference and of reading pleasure for years to come." -- Paul Kopperman * Social History of Medicine *"Revolutionary Medicine is a 'must-read' for anyone interested in the birth of America. Upon closing Jeanne E. Abrams's wonderful book about the illnesses and health experiences of the nation's founders, you will never be able to look at Washington, Adams, Jefferson, and their peers the same way again." -- Howard Markel,author of An Anatomy of Addiction"As America enters a new era of health care, this timely volume recalls what medicine was like in the days of the Founding Fathers. Everything from Washington's dental woes to Jefferson's troublesome headaches and Dolley Madisons tragic encounter with yellow fever finds its way into this lively and well-researched book. In recounting battles over vaccinations, herbal remedies, the efficacy of blood-letting, and the appropriate role for government intervention in medical issues, Revolutionary Medicine reminds us that debates over health care are nothing new in America. They go back to our founders." -- Jonathan D. Sarna,author of When General Grant Expelled the Jews"Contemporary debates over medical research budgets and guaranteeing health insurance for all Americans echo conversations about the necessity of good health to the well-being and prosperity of the citizenry that began at the dawn of our national history. In lucid, accessible prose, historian Jeanne E. Abrams turns to the lives and experiences of George and Martha Washington, John and Abigail Adams, James and Dolly Madison, as well as Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin to illuminate conversations about health, public and private, in our republics early years. Abrams's fine volume is a tonic for the frequent neglect of health and disease in so many histories of the early republic." -- Alan M. Kraut,author of Goldberger’s War: The Life and Work of a Public Health Crusader"A University of Denver professor takes an in-depth look at the American medical landscape during the 18th century, a pre-antibiotic time of the epidemics and infectious diseases when Americans were also dealing with little projects like fighting the British for independence and establishing the United States." * The Denver Post *"The strength of the book is Abramss compilation of fascinating, gruesome, and often-tragic details of the lives of these founders, which lends them a corporeal presence that is absent from most histories." * The Journal of American History *"Revolutionary Medicine...is a readable and eye-opening account. We know so much about the Founders, but we rarely pause to think just how difficult 'life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness' can be when you lack a good doctor or science-based care." * The Wall Street Journal *"Written in an engaging style and largely based on the personal letters and papers of the founding families, Abrams sheds new light on how republican ideals were shaped by encounters with disease." * William and Mary Quarterly *Table of ContentsContentsAcknowledgments viiIntroduction:Health and Medicine in the Era of America's Founders 11George and Martha Washington: Health, Illness, and the First Family 332Benjamin Franklin: A Founding Father of American Medicine 793Abigail and John Adams: Partners in Sickness and Health 1194Thomas Jefferson: Advocate forHealthy Living 1695Thomas Jefferson: The Healthof the Nation 199Epilogue:Evolutionary Medicine 231Notes 241Bibliography 277Index 289About the Author 306

Ohio University Press The Historical Ecology of Malaria in Ethiopia
Book SynopsisMalaria is an infectious disease like no other: it is a dynamic force of nature and Africa’s most deadly and debilitating malady. James C. McCann tells the story of malaria in human, narrative terms and explains the history and ecology of the disease through the science of landscape change. All malaria is local.Trade Review“This is one of the most important books written on Africa in the last ten years—indeed, in any ten years. If this book does not win a prize, then there is truly no justice.…A superb topic, handled here by an accomplished historian at the peak of his powers…The epilogue is simply magnificent. Sparse, almost curt, it makes the case with blinding clarity…The past lives with us. The future is about adaptability, not progress.”“McCann’s work is truly a must-read for experts in many fields, from public health, agriculture, and history, to politics and development. This book is a brilliant demonstration of the deeply local and highly adaptable nature of disease and mortality, and the ways in which the historical ecology of disease effects household decision-making and trends in food production and economic development on a national scale.” * Focus on the Horn *“This thorough country history … explores malaria’s etiology, effects, and the challenges of minimizing, if not controlling, its impact. Historian McCann draws on decades of Ethiopian field experience and familiarity with its historical sources. … Fascinating anecdotes reveal local disease understandings, often blaming malign spirits (hence the subtitle). …Malaria severely challenges public health, but this study will aid the struggle. Summing Up: Recommended.” * CHOICE *“Amid renewed calls for global malaria eradication, historian James C. McCann delivers a timely reminder of the complexity and resilience of malaria. His argument concerns interdisciplinarity, humility and scale. … McCann’s unique accomplishment is the incorporation of a sophisticated and complex biomedical hypothesis of modern malaria epidemiology into a nuanced historical and cultural narrative. … It will be useful for students of public health and its history.” * Social History of Medicine *“McCann writes history with an ethnographic sensibility and a solid grasp of the science. His delightful turn of phrase and accessible writing style make this work an enjoyable read for specialists and non-specialists alike. … [He] eloquently describes the social, economic and political disturbances central to malaria’s success, beautifully explains the distinctiveness of this infectious disease, and sensitively links science with illness narratives. …Readers will be left not just knowing more about Ethiopia and malaria, but with an analytical framework with which to enquire about malaria in other locations as well.” * Human Ecology *

Ohio University Press The Experiment Must Continue
Book SynopsisThe Experiment Must Continue is a beautifully articulated ethnographic history of medical experimentation in East Africa from 1940 through 2014. In it, Melissa Graboyes combines her training in public health and in history to treat her subject with the dual sensitivities of a medical ethicist and a fine historian.Trade Review“Graboyes’ arguments are critical for contemporary researchers who must understand how the ‘residue’ of each experiment alters the course of the next. … [Her] book, which does not presume knowledge of the history and ethnography of medical research in Africa, is written in engaging and jargon-free prose. …[It] is certain to prompt lively classroom discussions about global health, African medical research in colonial and postcolonial times, and the history of medicine.” * Journal of Interdisciplinary History *“[The Experiment Must Continue] will be of great interest to medical historians and anthropologists, East African historians, and global health researchers and bioethicists engaged in research in the Global South today … [The book] is to be applauded as a pathbreaking, engaging historical analysis of the practices, ethics, and implications of experimental medical research in one African postcolony.” * African Studies Review *“This is a remarkable contribution—scrupulously researched, innovatively organized, engagingly written, and passionately argued. To my knowledge, there is nothing published that can match the scope, temporal depth, or ethnographic finesse of this work. The manuscript is a superb example of how rigorous historical research opens up reflections on the unresolved ethical problems of contemporary global health research.”“Graboyes’s book reads like a mystery, elegantly weaving history, science, bioethics and public health into a compelling story. A profoundly important contribution to the challenges of conducting medical research in the developing world.”“Graboyes’ innovative approach pushes boundaries of conventional medical history, adds badly needed historical depth to ethnographies of medical research, and revitalizes bioethics thinking in an entertaining and accessible way. Her investigation of the ways medical research lingers in East Africa will contribute to historical and anthropological scholarship for years to come, and one hopes it will be read by ethicists and scientists as well.”“Graboyes has the gift of drawing the reader into small stories and then showing how these relate to wider practical and ethical dilemmas… [The Experiment Must Continue] has a strong central message and is beautifully crafted: a model of how to make the local stories come alive in a way that contributes to the painting of a much broader picture.” * Isis *“A beautiful ethnographic history of medical experiments in East Africa from the colonial period to the present. …Graboyes doesn’t just caution us to look to the past; she also persuades us to think about the future.” * Washington Post online *“With its grounded and spirited engagement with the practical ethics of research science, this book is a welcome contribution to the literature on the history and ethics of medical research.… [Graboyes] never allows the analysis to rest in the easy moral high ground of damning critique.…This is responsible and meaningful scholarship.” * Medical Anthropology Quarterly *

Ohio University Press The Politics of Disease Control Sleeping
Book SynopsisSituating sleeping sickness control within African intellectual worlds and political dynamics, Webel prioritizes local histories to understand the successes and failures of a widely used colonial public health intervention—the sleeping sickness camp—in dialogue with African strategies to mitigate illness and death in the past.Trade Review“Rather than examining sleeping sickness controls relational (or reactive) to colonial interventions, Weber instead puts Africans’ understandings of the problem, in all their complex diversity, at centre stage…. The result is a book which is both sensitive and remarkable. Setting the bar to new heights, this book does an excellent job of effectively decentralising the western historical narratives that so many of us have tacitly absorbed, and perpetuated, for so long.” * European Journal for the History of Medicine and Health *“Striking a deft balance between historical analysis and training historical attention to contemporary global health endeavors in Africa, Webel makes a substantial, original contribution to the history of science and medicine in Africa, the relationship between public health and politics in early colonial Africa, and African history more broadly.”“Reading Mari Webel’s history of sleeping sickness control in German colonial East Africa in a time of global pandemic feels disturbingly relevant.” * H-Net/H-Africa *

Ohio University Press The Histories of HIVs The Emergence of the
Book SynopsisIn this interdisciplinary collection, experts provide the most complete description to date of the often ignored and underappreciated features of the history of the multiple human immunodeficiency viruses (HIVs) responsible for the global AIDS pandemic.Trade Review“The most comprehensive account yet published of HIV’s emergence and dispersal across the African continent, this richly detailed, multidisciplinary collection traces the varied origins of the multiple strains of HIV. This superb book adds new understanding to the ecological, medical, and sexual contexts within which AIDS epidemics first developed.” -- Shane Doyle, professor of African history, University of LeedsThe Histories of HIVs sets the tone for how collaborative science can and should tackle the emergent pandemics of our time. In combining epidemiology, virology, history, and anthropology, the contributors demonstrate powerfully how the origin and spread of epidemics can be uncovered: causes must not be isolated to viral fragments moving between simians and humans but should instead encompass the social and cultural history of the people whose lives and illnesses generated this history. Required reading for anyone interested in epidemic disease. -- Catherine E. Bolten, author of Serious Youth in Sierra Leone: An Ethnography of Performance and Global Connection“The Histories of HIVs provides a balanced examination of the emergence of HIV viruses. This impressive volume, which combines historical epidemiology and anthropology with the main achievements of virology and immunology, contributes to our understanding of the ways some HIV viruses provoked epidemics or became pandemic. The Histories of HIVs is a brilliant achievement that is a pleasure to read.” -- Kalala Ngalamulume, coeditor of Medicine and Health in Africa: Multidisciplinary Perspectives"Compared to conclusions based solely on biomedical/molecular analyses, this multidisciplinary approach offers a perspective not readily available through conventional epidemiologic paradigms. Adding another layer to ongoing investigations of the many mysteries surrounding HIV/AIDS, this multiauthored text highlights multiple potential pathways of viral spillover and continued transmission. Schneider … has edited an informative, well-written book that will be of considerable interest to students of epidemiology, infectious diseases, and the history of medicine. Highly recommended. * Choice *“I particularly admire the authors’ collective ability to distill such a breadth of interdisciplinary, cutting-edge research into language that is accessible to newcomers to the field, including undergraduate students. The methodical approach, the ways authors refer back and forth to each other’s work, and their fair-minded treatment of various claims including those that lack evidentiary support, build steam…. [For the ] many readers who have legitimate worries about the integrity of scientific research and Western health interventions in African history … the way authors acknowledge those concerns and take the time to walk us through critique and countercritiques will be profoundly eye-opening and likely convincing.” * International Journal of African Historical Studies *[T]his book makes a convincing argument that any history of HIV must account for the fact that this virus emerged multiple times, in multiple geographic locations, and from two different types of primates. * Bulletin of the History of Medicine *

Duke University Press Cinematic Prophylaxis
Book SynopsisA history and theorization of the representation of public health concerns in commercial cinema and educational filmTrade Review“Cinematic Prophylaxis offers a very sophisticated and original interpretation of a fascinating topic: the emergence of the logic of contagion in world health ‘education’ practices and in U. S. mainstream cinema. Kirsten Ostherr links the discourse of contagion and public health with the development of cinema and the rise of visuality, problems of modernity, and the logic of conspiracy, ultimately tying all of these to the problem of globalization. Her argument is utterly original; I haven’t seen anything else like it.”—Melani McAlister, author of Epic Encounters: Culture, Media, and U. S. Interests in the Middle East since 1945“My copy of Cinematic Prophylaxis will quickly be well worn with use in teaching and research consultation. It is a valuable and much-needed contribution to the intersecting histories of U.S. cinema and public health.”—Lisa Cartwright, author of Screening the Body: Tracing Medicine’s Visual Culture“Cinematic Prophylaxis is a powerful and very timely exploration of new and familiar forms of media. . . .[A]n exciting and useful addition to syllabi in a variety of advanced undergraduate and graduate courses including those in medical anthropology, visual anthropology, film studies, history of medicine, science and technology studies, and critical public health.” -- Summer Wood * Visual Anthropology Review *Table of ContentsIllustrations ix Acknowledgments xi Introduction: Cinema and Hygiene 1 1.

Duke University Press Health and Hygiene in Chinese East Asia
Book SynopsisA collection exploring public health policies and implementation in Chinese regions of East Asia from the late nineteenth century to the present; many of the contributors are based in Taiwan.Trade Review“This volume, edited by Angela Ki Che Leung and Charlotte Furth, exemplifies the diverse social science approaches at work in the study of medical/health history. The book offers a fascinating investigation of the health and hygiene developments in twentieth-century Chinese East Asia, with insightful findings.” - Liping Bu, Social History of Medicine“[T]his book provides many solid case studies to examine the intersections between governments, culture and science. Anyone interested in the history of Chinese medicine, colonial medicine and public health in East Asia will find it helpful.” - Wen-Ching Sung, The China Review“This volume skillfully highlights the importance of a holistic view of medicine and an understanding of the ‘web of biological relationships’ between humans and the environment in managing and understanding disease and health (271).” - Tina Phillips Johnson, Journal of Interdisciplinary History“This timely and diverse volume brings together exemplary scholarship on the history of colonial medicine and public health in China and Taiwan from the late nineteenth century to the present. . . . [T]his invaluable volume commands not only the attention of East Asianists, but all scholars interested in the global circulations of scientific knowledge, medical technologies, and practices of governance.” - Leon Antonio Rocha, Journal of Asian Studies“This book should be of interest to scholars who want to see a more cosmopolitan approach to the history of medicine. . . . This book departs from earlier scholarship on public health in East Asia in two important aspects. First is the shift in focus to geographical regions that are far from the center of state power, such as Manchuria and the Pearl River delta, as well as the focus on the countryside rather than urban centers. Second, studying the embedded local practices and traditions and their interactions with international and transnational influences allow the authors to break out of the narrative based on imperialism or nation-building as the shaper of public health.” - Yüan-ling Chao, Bulletin of the History of Medicine“This collection of essays brings together in one volume cutting-edge scholarship on the history of hygiene and public health in East Asia, from the tenth century to the twenty-first. It willed be welcomed not only by researchers on the history of medicine but also by those interested in topics as diverse as imperialism, demography, diet, and gender studies.”—Carol Benedict, author of Bubonic Plague in Nineteenth-Century China“This imaginatively conceived volume sets the agenda for an entirely new history of public health. Moving deftly between the local and the global, Health and Hygiene in Chinese East Asia demonstrates that public health is best understood as a series of relationships rather than as a closed project in nation- or empire-building. As the contributors to this fine book show, there was more than one ‘China’ and certainly more than one ‘public health.’”—Mark Harrison, University of Oxford“[T]his book provides many solid case studies to examine the intersections between governments, culture and science.

Duke University Press Fevered Measures
Book SynopsisIn Fevered Measures, John Mckiernan-González examines public health campaigns along the Texas-Mexico border between 1848 and 1942 and reveals the changing medical and political frameworks U.S. health authorities used when facing the threat of epidemic disease.Trade Review“Fevered Measures is an engaging and multi-layered historical narrative that underscores the centrality of public health to daily life, social relations and power dynamics along the TexasMexico border over one century. . . . What makes this story particularly compelling is that Mckiernan-González frames it with a compassionate and informed plea for greater awareness of Latina/o health disparities.” -- Alexandra Minna Stern * Global Public Health *"Fevered Measures remaps the border as a space in which ideas of race and nation take on new meanings in relation to the development of the state and science. The book serves as a superior model for analyzing and narrating the transnational flow of people, ideas, and policies."—Raúl A. Ramos, author of Beyond the Alamo: Forging Mexican Ethnicity in San Antonio, 1821–1861“Mckiernan-Gonzalez . . . adds substantially to the large literature on the history of public health, particularly its role in controlling immigration into the United States.” -- Stephen J. Kunitz * American Historical Review *"In Fevered Measures, through dramatic case studies, John Mckiernan-González brings exciting new insights to the intersection of state formation, racial formations, and medical discourse. Using archives on both sides of the border, he complicates our analysis of federal and local dynamics, earning a place among the best of the new borderlands historians."—Sarah Deutsch, author of No Separate Refuge: Culture, Class, and Gender on an Anglo-Hispanic Frontier in the American Southwest, 1880–1940“Mckeirnan-González provides a sophisticated and fine-grained analysis of the work of overzealous public health officials on the border, but he also places these efforts in a global imperial context.” -- Elliott Young * Journal of American History *“Fevered Measures is a wonderful and significant contribution to Latina/o studies, medical history, and borderlands history.” -- Mark Allan Goldberg * Pacific Historical Review *“Fevered Measures gives us a penetrating view of the intersections between race and public health policies, bringing new insights to the history of both the borderlands and US public health. It will be valuable to students and researchers in Chicano/Latino studies, in social sciences and humanities. Appealing also to a broader audience, this welcome book contributes significantly to the current debates about Latinos and American public health. . . .” -- Ana I.

MD - Duke University Press Improvising Medicine
Book SynopsisFocused on Botswana's only dedicated oncology ward, Improvising Medicine renders the experiences of patients, their relatives, and clinical staff during a cancer epidemic.Trade Review“Improvising Medicine is a luminous book by a highly respected Africanist whose work creatively bridges anthropology and history. A product of intense listening and observation, deep care, and superb analytical work, it will become a canonical ethnography of medicine in the global south and will have a big impact across the social sciences and medical humanities.”—João Biehl, author of Will to Live: AIDS Therapies and the Politics of Survival and Vita: Life in a Zone of Social Abandonment"Improvising Medicine is as good as it gets. It is a book that will be read for decades to come. I have always thought that great ethnography transcends the specificities of time and place, of the particular, to offer a glimpse of the universal. This gripping book does just that, and the subtle and grounded way that it speaks to global health and debates in medical anthropology makes it a major addition to both fields."—Vinh-Kim Nguyen, M.D., author of The Republic of Therapy: Triage and Sovereignty in West Africa's Time of AIDS“This book will find a ready readership among Africanists and medical anthropologists. I envision its wider use in g'lobal health' courses, where it will challenge aspiring health workers accustomed to locating hope for medical development in scalable technical interventions... Cancer care, Livingston shows us—like medicine, like development—often requires starting over, usually entails improvisation, and always calls for hard labor by particular individuals in the face of destructive political and economic forces. Improvising Medicine reminds us effectively, sometimes devastatingly, how intractably human this thing called 'health care' is.” -- Claire Wendland * American Ethnologist *“This is an excellent ethnography that should (and undoubtedly will) be read and taught by anthropologists, historians, science studies scholars, and interdisciplinary scholars of Africa…. students and practitioners of global health should be reading Improvising Medicine, in which African cancer is made visible and the clinical science of oncology is never divorced from the moral labor and political conditions of care.” -- Johanna Crane * African Studies Review *“Improvising Medicine is best suited to those who are interested in global health or who provide medical care across cultures. While its primary subject is cancer, the points the author makes regarding the view of medical care priorities in resource-poor countries, as well as the culture-dependent experience of disease, are well taken and can be applied to work in other areas of the world.” -- Holly Salzman * Family Medicine *“In Improvising Medicine, Julie Livingston presents a vivid ethnography of cancer management in an African hospital ward...This book is rich in textual and visual data and is theoretically well informed. It is a model of ethnographic work and an excellent monograph in global medicine and health systems research.” -- Benson Mulemi * Social History of Medicine *“Although this scholarly work explores a harsh and distressing reality, it is well written, with a warmth and compassion that will make it accessible and appealing to a broad readership… This book will have a direct and sustained impact across fields of social sciences and medical humanities – as it can provide an important perspective often lacking within the paternalistic global health debates.” -- Karen Barnes * Journal of Southern African Studies *“Improvising Medicine is an exquisite ethnography, replete with both specific, richly observed encounters at a cancer ward in Botswana and broader, urgent arguments for anthropology and global health. . . . Drawing on beautifully rendered ethnographic evidence, Improvising Medicine tells a compelling story that is relevant for anthropology and beyond.” -- Anne Pollock * Journal of Anthropological Research *“That Improvising Medicine is at times difficult to read is a testament to Livingston’s observational and storytelling skills, her ability to allow us to imagine what it might feel like to be a patient, caregiver, nurse, or doctor in an African hospital. This is a remarkable book that deserves and will surely attract a wide readership.” -- Neil Kodesh * Journal of African History *"Improvising Medicine is a brilliant and groundbreaking hospital ethnography, one that grips the reader with its narratives of an institution characterized by constant precarity, where supplies, medications, procedures, and staff are never assured.... Improvising Medicine should interest diverse audiences. These include medical anthropologists, sociologists, social historians of Africa, public health specialists, and scholars across disciplines with interest in the cultures and practices of biomedicine, the morality of care, and the comparative analysis of medical ethics." -- Carolyn Sargent * Medical Anthropology Quarterly *Table of ContentsPreface ix Acknowledgments xiii 1.

Duke University Press ParaStates and Medical Science
Book SynopsisIn Para-States and Medical Science, P. Wenzel Geissler and the contributors examine how medicine and public health in Africa have been transformed as a result of economic and political liberalization and globalization, intertwined with epidemiological and technological changes. The resulting fragmented medical science landscape is shaped and sustained by transnational flows of expertise and resources. NGOs, universities, pharmaceutical companies and other nonstate actors now play a significant role in medical research and treatment. But as the contributors to this volume argue, these groups have not supplanted the primacy of the nation-state in Africa. Although not necessarily stable or responsive, national governments remain crucial in medical care, both as employers of health care professionals and as sources of regulation, access, and – albeit sometimes counterintuitively - trust for their people. “The state” has morphed into the “para-state&rdquoTrade Review“Para-States and Medical Science is an exceptional and engaging book that will be of interest to anthropologists, Africanists and historians as well as those interested in science and technology, post-colonial and development studies.” -- Mary-Anne Decatur * Anthropology Book Forum *"Individual chapters focus specifically on processes of medical research, not health care delivery, but in so doing provide an often overlooked perspective on the types of medical work undertaken in Africa.... Summing up: Recommended." -- M. M. Heaton * Choice *"I highly recommend this volume for anyone interested in the social relations of biomedicine, and particularly biomedical research, in Africa. As an interdisciplinary anthropologist who works on this topic, I found the book’s provocation to pay attention to the persistence of the African state extremely useful—suddenly, I am seeing the state in places in my work that I had formerly overlooked. I also appreciated this volume’s empirical documentation of the numerous ways in which, despite persistent inequalities, African actors—states, institutions, and individuals—shape global health partnerships and the knowledge they produce." -- Johanna Crane * Medical Anthropology Quarterly *"Para-States and Medical Science is an impressive volume and a welcome addition to work on critical global health in Africa. The collection provides a much needed re-reading of contemporary biopolitical regimes in Africa, which neither fit old models of biopower nor conform to neoliberal forms found elsewhere. ... this work makes an original and innovative contribution to scholarship on the shifting relations between state, public, private and corporate interests in health care in Africa, and makes inroads for anthropologists, historians and STS scholars to move beyond standard narratives of 'development' and 'neoliberalism' in African contexts." -- Michelle Pentecost * New Genetics and Society *"The volume should become mandatory reading for scholars and students interested in the new configurations and possibilities that emerge on the African continent in the context of medical globalization, and which demonstrate (once more) that rigid distinctions between the global, national and local, public and private, state and non-state have become untenable, if not useless." -- Hansjörg Dilger * Africa *Table of ContentsIntroduction: A Life Science in Its African Para-State / P.

MD - Duke University Press Biomedicine in an Unstable Place
Book SynopsisThis ethnography shows how the struggle to practice clinical medicine in a resource-strapped public hospital in Papua New Guinea is complicated by the attempts of doctors, nurses, and patients to make themselves visible to others—kin, clinical experts, global scientists, politicians, and international development workers—as socially recognizable and valuable persons.Trade Review"Street’s work is a welcome intervention that nuances our understandings of personhood, materiality and the everyday workings of biomedicine in a postcolonial context. A clear and articulate ethnography, Biomedicine in an Unstable Place will be of interest to undergraduate and graduate students, as well as professionals in the fields of medical anthropology, science and technology studies, history of medicine and global health." -- Gabriela Elisa Morales * Social Anthropology *“Scholars of Papua New Guinea and Melanesia will naturally welcome this extraordinary book. It should also be read by those with an interest in ontology, post-colonial science, the anthropology of infrastructure, and the anthropology of the state." -- Barbara Andersen * Anthropological Quarterly *“This valuable ethnography will interest anthropologists of biomedicine, scholars of Melanesia, and the many social scientists and students involved in global health. It helps readers move beyond global/local, universal/particular binaries to understand how biomedicine functions in a world full of unstable places.” -- Claire L. Wendland * Journal of Anthropological Research *“Biomedicine in an Unstable Place is an important text of impressive quality. The volume makes a valuable contribution to Melanesian studies, medical anthropology, and postcolonial studies. More importantly, as Street notes in her introduction, most of the world’s people now encounter biomedicine in ‘peripheral institutions’ like Madang Hospital; more attention to the forces at work in such places is warranted.” -- Courtney Addison * Medicine Anthropology Theory *“Street’s contribution to medical anthropology and science and technology studies lies in her skilful analysis of the multiplicity of hospital spaces. She offers one of the finest examples of how to write hospital ethnography by articulating spatial and temporal frictions, overlaps and shifts in medical knowledge and practice. By contextualising the contradictions and paradoxes running through public health development in a poor part of the world, Street is able to provide crucial insight into people’s hopes and disappointments as they are invested in biomedical care. Biomedicine in an Unstable Place is not only instructive for anthropologists interested in the improvised nature of medicine and care in contexts of economic scarcity but also for public health workers and development aid providers who work or are planning to work in Papua New Guinea.” -- Bo Kyeong Seo * The Asia Pacific Journal of Anthropology *"Anyone interested in understanding the challenges faced by public hospitals will profit from the incisive, empathic, and compelling insights of this superb study." -- John Barker * Pacific Affairs *"This excellent book is a compelling and often moving ethnography.

MD - Duke University Press Second Chances
Book SynopsisDuring the first decade of this millennium, many thousands of people in Uganda who otherwise would have died from AIDS got second chances at life. The essays in Second Chances draw on personal accounts and a broad knowledge of Ugandan culture and history to explore antiretroviral therapy from the perspective of those people.Trade Review“The stories are compelling, and the analytical chapters do a good job connecting contemporary developments with the existing anthropology of HIV/AIDS…. Recommended.” -- M. M. Heaton * Choice *“Second Chances is recommended reading for anyone interested in the experiences of people with HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa. This is also a good book for anyone who is thinking about health systems. One of Whyte’s points that I found particularly important is that people do not simply access treatment, but achieve it.” -- Anita Chary * Global Health Hub *“This is a unique study because it focuses on individuals and how disease and health care affects them. It provides a glimpse at a culture that is rarely covered, as well. Academic libraries supporting social sciences and health sciences programs will want to add this fascinating look at HIV/AIDS from a singular perspective to their collections." -- Barbara Bibel * Library Journal *“Readers familiar with the work of Susan Reynolds Whyte and her colleagues will not be disappointed in this compelling book. In the end, the lesson of Second Chances is that reliance on ‘contingent sociality’ means that not everyone who needs ARTs can get them. The chance for a second chance, therefore, is inherently fragile and unequal. Reynolds Whyte and colleagues offer no solutions, but the moving stories of survival and striving for both a living and a life remind us of the work that remains” -- Janet W. McGrath * Medical Anthropology Quarterly *"Second Chances is an excellent source of health narratives about negotiating HIV status in Uganda. Second Chances will naturally interest anthropologists of East Africa, HIV and biosociality." -- Jason Johnson Peretz * Somatosphere *"Second Chances offers a rigorous and vivid look at the first generation of Ugandans with AIDS to have relatively wide access to antiretroviral therapy . . . .

It provides a glimpse at a culture that is rarely covered, as well. Academic libraries supporting social sciences and health sciences programs will want to add this fascinating look at HIV/AIDS from a singular perspective to their collections." -- Barbara Bibel * Library Journal *“Readers familiar with the work of Susan Reynolds Whyte and her colleagues will not be disappointed in this compelling book. In the end, the lesson of Second Chances is that reliance on ‘contingent sociality’ means that not everyone who needs ARTs can get them. The chance for a second chance, therefore, is inherently fragile and unequal. Reynolds Whyte and colleagues offer no solutions, but the moving stories of survival and striving for both a living and a life remind us of the work that remains” -- Janet W. McGrath * Medical Anthropology Quarterly *"Second Chances is an excellent source of health narratives about negotiating HIV status in Uganda. Second Chances will naturally interest anthropologists of East Africa, HIV and biosociality." -- Jason Johnson Peretz * Somatosphere *"Second Chances offers a rigorous and vivid look at the first generation of Ugandans with AIDS to have relatively wide access to antiretroviral therapy . . . .

Duke University Press Metrics What Counts in Global Health
Book SynopsisThe contributors to Metrics use ethnographic evidence from around the globe to evaluate the accomplishments, limits, and the consequences of applying metrics to global health. Now the standard in measuring global health program success, metrics has far implications that extend beyond patients to the political and financial realms. Trade Review"[T]his volume is insightful, engaging and impressive. . . . I highly recommend this enlightening and ethnographically rich book. It is a must read for both medical anthropologists and global health practitioners, and would make an excellent addition to the reading list for graduate classes in medical anthropology or global health." -- Lauren Wallace * Anthropology Book Forum *"[T]his volume will hopefully help stimulate policymakers and researchers to think seriously about whether playing the numbers game is sufficient, either for patients or their clinicians." -- Thomas Christie Williams * LSE Review of Books *"Metrics is a thoughtful book that powerfully maps some of the problems that accompany the effort to ground GH in metrics. It is obligatory reading for anyone trying to understand contemporary world health." -- Tobias Rees * Bulletin of the History of Medicine *"Metrics offers a lucid, revealing, and sometimes unnerving tour of global health’s quantitative terrain. Its authors take pains to emphasize that they are not opposed to measurement. Rather, they argue for the need to recognize the limits of numbers and the continuing significance of other forms of knowing. From the perspective of medical anthropology this is a vital book." -- Peter Redfield * Medical Anthropology Quarterly *"Adams’ edited book makes a crucial contribution not only to those debates but also to the anthropology and sociology of evidence and measurement and to the social studies of science and medical humanities. Quite importantly, Metrics opens up a new field of inquiry and prompts us to think about how other kinds of metrics and ‘storied numbers’ are produced, experienced and valued and how they could be (re)imagined in the future." -- Angela Marques Filipe * Sociology of Health & Illness *"Taken together, this volume offers a useful primer on the role of metrics in shaping the work of global health actors at the macro, meso, and micro levels.

Trade Review"Briggs and Mantini-Briggs do more than shed light on a tragedy—they give voice to the grieving parents and offer examples of innovative ways to combat health disparities around the world, such as examining the 'relational division of the labor of producing and circulating health knowledge.'” -- Tracy Gnadinger * Health Affairs *“There are no easy explanations in this book, but it serves a valuable role by reminding us that lofty ideological claims and even passionate practical commitment are, in themselves, insufficient for eradicating deep structural inequalities, the real solutions to which can sometimes only be found among the people themselves.” -- Eugene Carey * Latin American Review of Books *"It is in this combination of ambitious scope and gut-wrenching intimacy that Tell Me Why My Children Died really shines.

CABI Publishing Food Safety and International Competitiveness
Book SynopsisFood safety is currently one of the most important issues confronting consumers, producers and distributors. It cannot be dealt with as just a physical problem but must be considered as a multi-dimensional one, affected by politics, economics and social influences. This book focuses on the specific example of food safety in the beef industry in the USA, Canada, the UK and Australia. It outlines the experience of a number of countries with food safety problems (such as BSE) and examines:drivers for change and institutional arrangements within the four countrieswhether there is a socially optimal approach to food safetyhow much consumers can rely on the industry to police itself and governments to look after their interestsIt also examines the implications for competitiveness and world trade.Table of Contents1: Introduction 2: International Institutional Arrangements 3: The United States 4: Canada 5: The United Kingdom 6: Australia 7: Towards an Optimal Food Safety System 8: How are they Doing? 9: Epilogue 10: Bibliography/References

CABI Publishing Nitrate and Man
Book SynopsisNitrate is ubiquitous. It is present in water, soil, plants and food, and is also a normal human metabolite. The main external sources of nitrate are vegetables and drinking water. This book examines the relationship between nitrates and human health. During the last 50 years or so, nitrate has been feared as the source of the rare condition called methaemoglobinaemia, or "blue baby syndrome", for young infants. Nitrate has also been implicated with causing cancer, through increased formation of carcinogenic compounds. Both claims are based on dubious evidence. This book sets out research results to disprove these assumptions, and goes on to explore the beneficial effects of nitrate in preventing infections, cancer and cardiovascular diseases. It is essential reading for researchers in medicine, and those in agriculture and food industries.Table of Contents1: The history of nitrates in medicine 2: Nitrate, the nitrogen cycle and the fertility of nature 3: The nitrogen cycle 4: The increasing fertility of nature 5: The metabolism of nitrate 6: The basic features 7: The two sources of nitrate: dietary intake and endogenous synthesis 8: The metabolic conversions of nitrate in the body and its fate 9: Nitrate excretion with saliva and its transformation to nitrite in the mouth 10: Nitrate and nitrite in the stomach 11: Nitrate metabolism: a summary 12: Nitrate in body fluids 13: Healthy humans 14: Pathological conditions 15: Conclusions 16: The case against nitrate - a critical examination 17: The risk of methaemoglobinaemia in infants 18: The risk of cancer 19: Other grievances 20: Conclusions 21: Nitrate regulations: presentation and discussion 22: Maximum nitrate levels in drinking water 23: Maximum nitrate levels in food 24: The acceptable daily intake and the reference dose for nitrate in man 25: Concluding comments 26: The beneficial effects of nitrate 27: The anti-infective effects of nitrate 28: Nitrate, blood pressure and cardiovascular diseases 29: Dietary nitrate and gastric cancer 30: Other beneficial effects 31: Conclusion 32: Summary and Conclusions

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Intellectual Property Pharmaceuticals and Public
Book SynopsisThe expert chapters focus on patents as well as an array of regulatory instruments, including pricing and drug registration policies.Trade Review‘. . . this book will appeal strongly to a wide range of professionals, academics and students with interest in and involvement in public health issues worldwide, specifically the pharmaceutical industry. . . the book is timely, topical, and packed with carefully researched information which puts a number of major issues relating to pharmaceuticals in perspective. Of great value to researchers are the copious footnotes and extensive bibliographies which follow most of the articles. . . this book certainly provides you with an impressive mine of information if you find yourself having to argue your corner on any number of legal, economic and ethical issues in this complex field of study.’ -- Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor, The Barrister Magazine‘Since the 1970s the pharmaceutical industry has undergone significant changes in its research and development paradigm, trade and production. Regulatory frameworks have also changed substantially, particularly in the area of intellectual property rights. This book provides much needed empirical evidence on the impact of these and other changes on the pharmaceutical sector and on access to medicines in developing countries. The studies, conducted with a common methodology, on nine developing countries (including major producers of pharmaceuticals such as China and India) and on Canada, make an outstanding contribution to the literature in the field. The data and analysis in the book are of immediate interest to policy makers and to scholars in various fields, including innovation economics, industrial policy, health systems and intellectual property.’ -- Carlos Correa, University of Buenos Aires, Argentina‘This impressive collection offers fascinating new perspectives on the impact of pharmaceutical patents on access to medicines in developing countries. The volume’s editors have put together an important book that sets out clearly the challenges to public health in a wide range of national contexts. The book will be a valuable text for all scholars and decision-makers interested in the global politics of intellectual property rights and public health.’ -- Duncan Matthews, Queen Mary, University of London, UKTable of ContentsContents: 1.

John Wiley & Sons Inc Diversity and Cultural Competence in Health Care
Book SynopsisMajor changes are occurring in the United States population and the nation''s health care institutions and delivery systems. Significant disparities in health status exist across population groups. But the health care enterprise, with all its integrated and disparate parts, has been slow to respond. Written by three nationally known scholars and experts, Diversity and Cultural Competence in Health Care: A Systems Approach is designed to provide health care students and professionals with a clear understanding of foundations, philosophies, and processes that strengthen diversity management, inclusion, and culturally competent care delivery. Focusing on current practice and health care policy, including the recently passed Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (ACA), this textbook integrates strategic diversity management, self-reflective leadership, and the personal change process with culturally and linguistically appropriate care into a cohesive systems-oriented approach for health care professionals. The essentials of cultural competence and diversity management covered in this text will be helpful to a wide variety of students because they encompass principles and practices that can be realistically incorporated into the ongoing work of any health care field or organization. Each chapter contains learning objectives, summary, key terms, and review questions and activities designed to allow students to understand and explore concepts and practices identified throughout the text.Table of ContentsFigures and Tables ix Preface xi Acknowledgments xv The Authors xvii PART ONE THE DIVERSITY IMPERATIVE 1 Chapter 1 Systems Approach to Cultural Competence 3 Dimensions of Diversity 7 Health Care Diversity Challenges 19 Health Care Disparities in the United States 20 Changing the US Health Care System 21 Systems Approach in the Health Care Delivery Organization 26 The Importance of Leadership 27 Summary 28 Review Questions and Activities 29 Chapter 2 Systematic Attention to Health Care Disparities 35 What Are Health Care Disparities? 36 Race and Ethnic Disparities in Health Status 37 Disparities across Other Diversity Dimensions: Gender, Sexual Orientation, the Elderly 49 Stakeholder Attention to Health Care Disparities 56 Systematic Strategies for Reducing Health Care Disparities 60 Summary 65 Review Questions and Activities 66 Chapter 3 Workforce Demographics 75 Trends in the US Labor Force 76 Diversity and the Health Professions 81 Drivers of Disparities in the Health Professions 83 Checklist of Recommended Organizational-Level Actions 90 Workforce Diversity Challenges 96 Summary 100 Review Questions and Activities 101 PART TWO THE DEVELOPMENT OF CULTURAL COMPETENCE 105 Chapter 4 Foundations for Cultural Competence in Health Care 107 What Is Cultural Competence in Health Care? 109 Long Journey toward Cultural Competence 119 Cultural Competence and the Health Care Provider Organization 126 Cultural Competence and the Multicultural Health Care Workforce 133 Summary 138 Review Questions and Activities 139 Chapter 5 Hallmarks of Cultural Competence in Health Care Professionals 143 Personal Journey of Cultural Competence 145 Framework for Role Development 153 Journey of Self-Discovery 156 Summary 167 Review Questions and Activities 168 Chapter 6 Training for Knowledge and Skills in Culturally Competent Care for Diverse Populations 171 Eight Principles for Knowledge and Skills Training 173 Cultural Competence Knowledge and Skills for Administrators and Directors 177 Cultural Competence Training for Health Care Professionals in Direct Patient Care 183 Cultural Competence Training for Support Staff 207 The Role of Assessment in Cultural Competence Training 208 Summary 211 Review Questions and Activities 212 PART THREE CULTURAL COMPETENCE AND HEALTH CARE DELIVERY 219 Chapter 7 Cultural Competence in Health Care Encounters 221 Models from Transcultural Nursing 225 Giger-Davidhizar Transcultural Assessment Model (GDTAM) 238 Being Culturally Responsive 251 Summary 253 Review Questions and Activities 254 Chapter 8 Language Access Services and Crosscultural Communication 259 Language Use in the United States 261 Language Differences in Health Care Encounters 262 Attitudes toward Limited-English Speakers 266 Changing Responses to Language Barriers in Health Care 268 An Expanding Profession: The Health Care Interpreter 278 Translation in Written Health Care Communication 284 Communication Is More than Words 286 Summary 290 Review Questions and Activities 291 Chapter 9 Group Identity Development and Health Care Delivery 299 Research Highlights 301 Minority Status Group Identity Development 305 Majority Status Group Identity Development 313 Using the Models 325 Summary 328 Review Questions and Activities 329 PART FOUR CULTURAL COMPETENCE AND THE HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATION 333 Chapter 10 The Centrality of Organizational Behavior 335 The Science of Organizational Behavior 338 Organizations as Contexts for Behavior 339 OB Research Highlights 341 Can Culturally Competent Health Care Professionals “Go It Alone”? 350 Summary 356 Review Questions and Activities 357 Chapter 11 The Business Case and Best Demonstrated Practices 361 Evolution of the Business Case 363 The Business Case for Cultural Competence in Health Care 364 Workforce, HRM, and the Business Case 373 Best Demonstrated Practices 376 Assessment and the Systems Approach 386 Benchmarking 389 Role of Metrics in the Systems Approach 390 Summary 397 Review Questions and Activities 399 Chapter 12 The Future of Diversity and Cultural Competence in Health Care 405 Trends That Support Widespread Adoption of the Systems Approach 406 The Sustainability Movement and the Systems Approach 419 Change Management and Force Field Analysis: Tools to Envision and Shape the Future 420 Summary 425 Review Questions and Activities 426 Glossary 429 Index 439

John Wiley & Sons Inc Safety in Design
Book SynopsisExpert insight and guidance on integrating safety into design to significantly reduce risks to people, systems, property, and communities Safe designrefers to the integration of hazard identification and risk assessment methods early in thedesignprocess so as to eliminate or minimize the risks of catastrophic failure throughout the life of a system, process, product, or service. This bookprovides engineers, designers, scientists and governmental officialswith the knowledge and tools needed to seamlessly incorporate safety intothe design of civil, industrial, and agricultural installations, as well as transportation systems, so as to minimize the risk of accidents and injuries. The methodology described in Safety in Design originates from the continuous safeguarding techniques first developed in the chemical industry and can successfully be applied to a range of industrial and civil settings. While the author focuses mainly on the aspects of safe design, he also addresses procedures which have a proven track record of preventing and alleviating the impacts of accidents with existing designs. He shares lessons learned from his nearly half-century of experience in the field and provides accounts of mishaps which could have been prevented, or significantly mitigated, based on data collected from approximately seventy incidents that have occurred in various countries. Describes the application of safe design in an array of fields, including the chemical industry, transportation, farming, the building trade, and leisure Reviews the history of intrinsic process safeguarding, which was first used in the chemical industry to minimize the risk of human error or instrumentation failure Describes dozens of preventable incidents to illustrate the critical role safe design can play Provides expert guidance and valuable tools for seamlessly weaving safety into every phase of the design process Safety in Design is an indispensable working resource for chemical, civil, mechanical, risk, and safety engineers, as well as professional R&D scientists, and process safety professionals. It is also a useful reference for insurers who deal with catastrophic loss potentials, and for government personnel who regulate or monitor industrial plants and procedures, traffic systems, and more.Table of ContentsPreface xi Acknowledgments xiii 1 Introduction 1 1.1 Introduction 1 1.2 Intrinsic Continuous Process Safeguarding 1 1.3 The Flixborough Accident in the United Kingdom in 1974 2
