National Academies Press The U.S. Commitment to Global Health Recommendations for the Public and Private Sectors
Book SynopsisHealth is a highly valued, visible, and concrete investment that has the power to both save lives and enhance the credibility of the United States in the eyes of the world. While the United States has made a major commitment to global health, there remains a wide gap between existing knowledge and tools that could improve health if applied universally, and the utilization of these known tools across the globe. The U.S. Commitment to Global Health concludes that the U.S. government and U.S.-based foundations, universities, nongovernmental organizations, and commercial entities have an opportunity to improve global health. The book includes recommendations that these U.S. institutions * increase the utilization of existing interventions to achieve significant health gains; * generate and share knowledge to address prevalent health problems in disadvantaged countries; * invest in people, institutions, and capacity building with global partners; * increase the quantity and quality of U.S. Table of Contents1 Front Matter; 2 Summary; 3 1 Introduction; 4 2 Scale Up Existing Interventions to Achieve Significant Health Gains; 5 3 Generate and Share Knowledge to Address Health Problems Endemic to the Global Poor; 6 4 Invest in People, Institutions, and Capacity Building with Global Partners; 7 5 Increase U.S. Financial Commitments to Global Health; 8 6 Set the Example of Engaging in Respectful Partnerships; 9 7 Call to Action; 10 Appendix A: Statement of Task; 11 Appendix B: Committee Biographies; 12 Appendix C: Public Committee Meeting Agendas; 13 Appendix D: Working Group Meeting Agendas; 14 Appendix E: Commissioned Paper: Global Health Governance Report--Lawrence O.

Lippincott Williams and Wilkins Epidemiology in Medicine
Book SynopsisEpidemiology is the simplest and most direct method of studying the causes of disease in humans, and many major contributions have been made by studies that have demanded nothing more than the ability to count, to think logically, and to have an imaginative idea. With the accumulation of knowledge, however, its has become harder for individuals working alone to make effective contributions, and epidemiological research is becoming increasingly a matter of teamwork, not only because of the large number of people that may have to be studied and the large amount of data that have to be collected and analyzed, but also because of the need to bring together for the design and conduct of the study clinical experience, biological understanding, statistical expertise, and many other special skills that vary from one study to another. But if, in this sense, epidemiological research is becoming more complex, the core of the subject remains essentially simple, and a good epidemiological study sho

Cambridge University Press Epidemic Modelling An Introduction 15 Cambridge
Book SynopsisThis general introduction to the ideas and techniques required for the mathematical modelling of diseases begins with an outline of some disease statistics dating from Daniel Bernoulli's 1760 smallpox data. The authors then describe simple deterministic and stochastic models in continuous and discrete time for epidemics taking place in either homogeneous or stratified (non-homogeneous) populations. Several techniques for constructing and analysing models are provided, mostly in the context of viral and bacterial diseases of human populations. These models are contrasted with models for rumours and vector-borne diseases like malaria. Questions of fitting data to models, and their use in understanding methods for controlling the spread of infection, are discussed. Exercises and complementary results at the end of each chapter extend the scope of the text, which will be useful for students taking courses in mathematical biology who have some basic knowledge of probability and statistics.Trade Review'… It gives an excellent general introduction to epidemic modelling, starting with an interesting historical account and then describing the most important and useful models which can be used.' Robert MacMillan, Mathematical Gazette'The book will be accessible … and its study highly rewarding, to anyone with an interest in epidemic models…' V. S. Isham, Short Book Reviews'Daley and Gani's monograph is a concise and useful presentation of a variety of epidemiological models.' Daniel Haydon, Trends in Ecology and Evolution'… gives an excellent general introduction to epidemic modelling … should certainly be available to undergraduates.'

Darfiana Nur and Kerrie L. Mengersen, The Australian and New Zealand Journal of Statistics'… the book is clear and well written … could serve as course literature for graduate, or possibly last year undergraduate, course in epidemic modelling.' Statistics in Medicine'I found the book very clear, concise and useful … I recommend the book very strongly as a teaching tool and as a research tool to academics and scientists who are interested in epidemic modeling. I also strongly recommend the book to applied mathematicians who are intetrested in stochastic models in general.' Mathematics TodayTable of ContentsPreface; 1. Some history; 2.

University of Pittsburgh Press The Lung Block
Book SynopsisPublic health, housing, poverty, and immigration dominated social and political discourse in early twentieth-century New York, much as they do today. The Lower East Side provided an urban environment where infectious disease and other public health concerns flourished. One city block in particular, known in muckraking circles as The Lung Block, housed four thousand first- and second-generation Americans in dilapidated tenements where deadly tuberculosis spread uninhibited. The Lung Block looks at a 1903 reform crusade to demolish this working-class tenement neighborhood and replace it with a park. Progressive reformers aimed to confront the area's moral and environmental dangers, but their conceptualization of the problem and methods for addressing it placed them into direct conflict with the hand-to-mouth priorities of the residents. The campaign and its eventual failure illuminate the formidable social barriers distancing urban reformers and the marginalized populations they intend t

Taylor & Francis The Private Life of the Genome
Book SynopsisThis innovative and engaging book argues that because our genetic information is directly linked to the genetic information of others, it is impossible to assert a âright to privacyâ in the same way that we can in other areas of life. This position throws up questions around access to sensitive data. It suggests that we may have to abandon certain intuitions about who may access our genetic information; and it raises concerns about discrimination against people with certain genetic characteristics. But the author asserts that regulating access to genetic information requires a more nuanced perspective that does not rely on the familiar language of rights. The book proposes new ways in which we may think about who has access to what genetic information, and on what basis they do so. Conceptually challenging, the book will prove engaging reading for scholars and students interested in the area of bioethics and medical law, as well as policy makers working with these pressing issues.

Cambridge University Press Planetary Health
Book SynopsisWe live in unprecedented times - the Anthropocene - defined by far-reaching human impacts on the natural systems that underpin civilisation. Planetary Health explores the many environmental changes that threaten to undermine progress in human health, and explains how these changes affect health outcomes, from pandemics to infectious diseases to mental health, from chronic diseases to injuries. It shows how people can adapt to those changes that are now unavoidable, through actions that both improve health and safeguard the environment. But humanity must do more than just adapt: we need transformative changes across many sectors - energy, housing, transport, food, and health care. The book discusses specific policies, technologies, and interventions to achieve the change required, and explains how these can be implemented. It presents the evidence, builds hope in our common future, and aims to motivate action by everyone, from the general public to policymakers to health practitioners.Trade Review'This book illustrates the dramatic change in humanity's awareness about the realities of our world and our destiny. Planetary Health describes the transformation that will move us to a healthier, safer and more sustainable future, with hope, optimism and confidence.' Gro Harlem Brundtland, former Prime Minister of Norway and former Director-General of the World Health Organization'Andy Haines and Howie Frumkin's book provides an accessible and fast-paced account of the challenges we face in improving human health in parallel with our environment in the next decades. A must read for anyone involved in global health, and a must read for anyone interested in the future of our children and grandchildren.' Joy Phumaphi, Former Vice President of the World Bank and Director of the African Leaders Malaria Alliance'The climate crisis and other environmental challenges pose growing threats to the continued health of humanity. Andy Haines and Howie Frumkin's book cogently and accessibly summarizes these growing threats to human health, and outlines the transformative changes we need to enact to improve health around the world and at the same time safeguard the environment for our children and grandchildren. This book is essential reading for every decision-maker in government and NGOs formulating health or environmental policy. The book is also a wonderful overview of planetary health issues for the general reader and student. A more important topic for the future of humanity from two leading experts is hard to imagine. A very timely analysis of the central issues of our time.' Helen Clark, Former Prime Minister of New Zealand and Former Administrator of the United Nations Development Programme'Andrew Haines and Howard Frumkin are two of the modern giants in planetary health. Their book highlights the value of cross-cutting approaches to human health and the health of the environment, combining resilience, health, equity, and prosperity. The book highlights the potential for the topic of planetary health to transform higher education, helping us rise to the challenge of multiple global crises. As we emerge from a global pandemic, I cannot imagine a more timely and important topic. An amazing, brilliantly argued compendium.' Judith Rodin, former President of the Rockefeller Foundation and former President of the University of Pennsylvania'By its very nature, planetary health is a vast and multidisciplinary subject. Our understanding of the field is constantly expanding, our approaches to addressing it rapidly evolving, and the political landscape surrounding it increasingly complex, and yet, Haines and Frumkin masterfully summarize the issue in all of its complexity, leaving the reader with a solid foundation of essential knowledge and - more importantly - hope, and a clearly delineated path forward.' Michele Barry, Director of the Center for Innovation in Global Health, Stanford University, California'The Anthropocene Era. Our children and our children's children will be astonished that the first fully comprehensive book to describe their everyday life, was not written till 2021. And as they reflect on what Sir Andy Haines and Howard Frumkin have laid out, they will either ask why did we not follow the ideas for transformative change in this book; or they will stand together in hope saying, humanity took heed, it listened to evidence and common sense, and we were able to tilt the earth's systems on their axis. This book is a watershed, its integrated science combines separate strands of knowledge, and creates the space for far more equitable participation in and ownership of the actions needed. This book is published at a watershed moment in history, when the health of the planet is in our hands. Can Planetary Health become our zeitgeist?' Liz Grant, Assistant Principal, University of Edinburgh'Sir Andy Haines and Howard Frumkin's book Planetary Health: Safeguarding Human Health and the Environment in the Anthropocene is a fact-filled and thought-provoking volume that explains the origins and proposes sound solutions to the existential crises of the Anthropocene Era … This book offers a holistic approach that helps us understand why we must respect, protect and enforce multisectorial frameworks if we are to maintain the integrity of the unique integrated complex system that is the Earth. The book also describes the many actions each of us can choose to take across sectors and within the finite planetary boundaries and cultural context, to reverse and reduce the current risks to a minimum and to remain healthy. An important read!' Agnes Binagwaho, Vice Chancellor of the University of Global Health Equity in Rwanda'A brilliant book: Planetary Health, defined by founders of the field.' Tony Capon, Monash University, Victoria'A splendid and important piece of work. Andy Haines and Howard Frumkin have, over many decades, led the world in the understanding of the relationships between environment and health. In this crucially important book, they show how our destructive behaviour, on a huge scale, has undermined our environment in ways that foster pandemics and infectious diseases, and which profoundly damage our physical and mental health. They also show, through careful and evidence-based analysis, how we can transform how we live, work, and consume to not only restore our environment but also live in much healthier and more enjoyable ways.' Lord Nicholas Stern, London School of Economics'Wow! If you want state-of-the-art knowledge on humanity's future on Earth - here it is! From the depths of the great acceleration, tipping points and inequity, to transformative pathways, global justice and our grand prize - planetary health. Read it and you're equipped to navigate the Anthropocene.' Johan Rockström, Director, Potsdam Institute Climate Impact Research, and co-Chair of Future Earth'Focusing on potential solutions, the authors emphasize the integration of knowledge from different disciplinary and geographic perspectives to advance understanding. They cite at least 1,618 timely and scholarly sources, and dozens of tables, charts, and graphs enhance the text. Helpful chapter conclusions and the detailed index make this an excellent teaching tool … Essential. ' A. S. Ricker, Choice ConnectTable of Contents1. Our Changing Planet; 2. Climate Change; 3.
