Cornell University Press Black Lung
Book SynopsisIn the definitive history of a twentieth-century public health disaster, Alan Derickson recounts how, for decades, the combined failure of government, medicine, and industry to halt the spread of black lung disease—and even to acknowledge its existence—resulted in a national tragedy, the effects of which are still being felt.Trade ReviewAn important contribution to the history of the coal industry and its economic and social impact.... Derickson focuses on the health consequences of mining coal, tracing the scientific, medical, labor, and political histories of black-lung disease, the respiratory illness caused by breathing coal dust. Perhaps most disturbing is Derickson's assertion that the effects of exposure to coal dust were known at the turn of the century and that preventative measures could have been implemented; instead, millions either died or suffered the debilitating effects of the disease. * Booklist *Derickson provides a detailed chronicle of the consequences of the social, political, medical, and economic forces that supported and delayed recognition of black lung as a preventable disease.... His book offers a concise and comprehensive account of a national tragedy with heavy financial and human cost. * Choice *Derickson's dissection of this public health disaster leaves the reader cringing.... It is a solid professional history. Derickson's story is well documented with an impressive range of published sources, archival documents, and oral interviews.... This book is an impressive contribution to occupational health history, to labor history, and to United States history in general. * American Historical Review *Historians from many fields will want to read this book.... Labor historians will want to weigh Derickson's sophisticated take on the unions' on-again, off-again advocacy of health issues. Medical historians will find a quite literal example of the 'social constructedness' of disease. And most readers will find renewed appreciation for the men who spent half their lives gasping for breath, that a nation might light its cities and heat its homes. * Pennsylvania History *In a richly researched and brilliantly argued work, Derickson shows how health professionals' obsession with silicosis prevented the recognition of coal workers pneumoconiosis (CWP) as a distinct disease entity, and how it took substantial effort by the workers themselves to force it onto the public agenda.... This is an impressive book and one that should be read by a wide audience. * Labor History *This volume is a significant contribution to American labor history and to the history of occupational health, but it is also an important cautionary tale whose implications for today's 'science wars' should not go unnoticed.... Derickson has written an important book, worthy of the attention of all medical historians. * Bulletin of the History of Medicine *

University of Toronto Press Hunting the 1918 Flu
Book SynopsisIn 1918 the Spanish flu epidemic swept the world and killed an estimated 20 to 40 million people in just one year, more than the number that died during the four years of the First World War. To this day medical science has been at a loss to explain the Spanish flu''s origin. Most virologists are convinced that sooner or later a similarly deadly flu virus will return with a vengeance; thus anything we can learn from the 1918 flu may save lives in a new epidemic.Responding to sustained interest in this medical mystery, Hunting the 1918 Flu presents a detailed account of Kirsty Duncan''s experiences as she organized an international, multi-discipline scientific expedition to exhume the bodies of a group of Norwegian miners buried in Svalbard, all victims of the flu virus. Constant throughout is her determination to honour the Norwegian laws and the Svalbard customs that treat the dead and the living with respect - especially when a live virus, if unearthed, could kill

MP-NCA Uni of North Carolina Pharmacopolitics Drug Regulation in the United
Book SynopsisAdvocates of rapid access to medicines and critics fearful of inadequate testing both argue that globalization will result in the easy transfer of pharmaceuticals around the world. In Pharmacopolitics, Arthur Daemmrich challenges their assumptions by comparing drug laws, clinical trials and monitoring systems in the US and Germany.Trade ReviewThis clear and persuasive book is the first to provide a detailed cross-national comparison of the politics of pharmaceutical drug regulation. Anyone concerned with understanding how governments, social movements, professional groups, and corporations determine which drugs end up on our pharmacy shelves should read this book carefully.(Steven Epstein, University of California, San Diego, author of Impure Science: AIDS, Activism, and the Politics of Knowledge)|Daemmrich uses a comparative study of pharmaceutical regulation in the U.S. and Germany to show that in order for medical globalization to be successful, it must accommodate persisting social and political variation even when technical standardization has been achieved. He looks at the relationships among governments, doctors, the pharmaceutical industry, and patients in case studies of an antibiotic, a sedative, a heart medication, a cancer therapy, and an AIDS drug.

Rutgers University Press Just Dont Get Sick Access to Health Care in the
Book SynopsisThe ability to obtain health care is fundamental to the security, stability, and well-being of poor families. Government-sponsored programs provide temporary support, but as families leave welfare for work, they find themselves without access to coverage or care. The low-wage jobs that individuals in transition are typically able to secure provide few benefits yet often disqualify employees from receiving federal aid.Drawing upon statistical data and in-depth interviews with over five hundred families in Oregon, Karen Seccombe and Kim Hoffman assess the ways in which welfare reform affects the well-being of adults and children who leave the program for work. We hear of asthmatic children whose uninsured but working mothers cannot obtain the preventive medicines to keep them well, and stories of pregnant women receiving little or no prenatal care who end up in emergency rooms with life-threatening conditions.Representative of poor communities nationwide, the viTrade ReviewAny consideration of health reform should start with this cautionary tale. -- Jeffery Levi, Ph.D. * Executive Director, Trust for America's Health *Table of ContentsList of Figures and Tables Acknowledgments Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Chapter 7 Appendix Bibliography Index

Patient use of web-based information may undermine the traditional information monopoly that physicians have long enjoyed. New IT systems may increase physicians'' legal liability and heighten expectations about transparency. Case studies on kidney transplants and maternity practices reveal the unanticipated effects, positive and negative, of patient uses of the new technology. An independent HIT profession may emerge, bringing another organized interest into the medical arena. Taken together, these investigations cast new light on the challenges and opportunities presented by HIT.Trade Review"Rothman and Blumenthal's compelling book, Medical Professionalism in the New Information Age, fills a current gap in the literature on the possible implications of information technology for practicing physicians, health care organizations, and the profession more generally, thereby advancing both policy analysis and clinical practice." -- Melissa Goldstein * George Washington University Medical Center *"The value of this collection is that it raises some intriguing issues which will be of interest to social scientists who study health and the internet, law and the professions, patient-doctor relations, communication, health policy and inequalities." * Sociology of Health and Illness *"This book provides an effective review regarding the development of the current issues in quality regulation, use of 'big data,' and report cards for those involved in or pursuing further training in public health." * Family Medicine *Table of ContentsAcknowledgments Abbreviations Introduction by David J.

John Wiley & Sons Comrades in Health US Health Internationalists Abroad and at Home Critical Issues in Health and Medicine Hardcover
Book SynopsisBrings together a group of professionals and activists whose lives have been dedicated to health internationalism. By presenting a combination of historical accounts and first-hand reflections, this collection of essays draws attention to the longstanding international activities of the American health left and the lessons they brought home.Trade Review"Everybody who cares about health and social justice, internationally and in the U.S., should read this book!" -- Amy Goodman * host of Democracy Now! and 2008 winner Right Livelihood Award *"This wonderful book offers a deeply reflective look at the motivations, ideology, and outcomes of this critical work, telling the stories of true heroes and heroines of American medicine and public health. It is must reading for anyone contemplating international health activism today." -- Dr. David Himmelstein and Dr. Steffie Woolhandler * cofounders, Physicians for a National Health Program *"Comrades in Health is a pioneering effort, a major addition to the study of global public health, and a new perspective on U.S. domestic health policy." -- Gerald M. Oppenheimer * coauthor of Shattered Dreams? An Oral History of the South African AIDS Epidemic *"Birn and Brown describe the history of international efforts to improve the health of vulnerable populations as an inherently sociopolitical, leftist, and often communist, endeavor. [The editors] create a coherent picture of the development of international health efforts...and will be an interesting read for more advanced students of public health and political science. Recommended." * Choice *"The most haunting lesson in this fine book stems from its call for an ethic of social consciousness in health care work. In this view, the struggle of justice for all is integral to the improvement of individual health outcomes, and it is as fraught with uncertainty and unintended consequences as is the treatment of individual illness. Birn, Brown and their colleagues update an old social medicine lesson that makes this struggle, with its risks, penuries and triumphs, a core professional duty instead of merely a morally praiseworthy individual pursuit." * Global Public Health *"a captivating journey through the political, economic, and social turmoil that embroiled global health care during the 20th century." * Nursing History Review *"Perhaps the most interesting lesson in Comrades in Health is in showing how the very term socialised medicine came to be such an imagined existential threat to the US body politic." * Lancet *"Comrades in Health is important reading for those interested in the global debate surrounding the post-2015 global developmental agenda and future reform of the UN-centric humanitarian system required to address 21st-century human security and social justice." * Canadian Bulletin of Medical History *Table of ContentsList of FiguresForeword AcknowledgmentsPart I1.

Book SynopsisMedical historian Michelle L. McClellan traces the story of the female alcoholic from the late-nineteenth through the twentieth century. She draws on a range of sources to demonstrate the persistence of the belief that alcohol use is antithetical to an idealized feminine role, particularly one that glorifies motherhood.Trade Review?"?Lady Lushes is an impressive and major contribution to women's studies and the history of medicine in the United States." -- David M. Fahey * author of Alcohol and Drugs in North America: A Historical Encyclopedia *"From 'fallen angels' to 'lit ladies,' the drinking women who haunt these pages embody the ambivalence of alcohol.

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

Trade Review"Hardin’s gripping ethnography of food and faith offers a beautifully-composed analysis of the lived experience of obesity in a Pacific Island community.

Rutgers University Press Pathogenic Policing Immigration Enforcement and
Book SynopsisIn Pathogenic Policing, Nolan Kline focuses on the hidden, health-related impacts of immigrant policing to examine the role of policy in shaping health inequality in the U.S., and responds to fundamental questions regarding biopolitics, especially the ways in which policy can reinforce ‘race’ as a vehicle of social division.Trade Review“Pathogenic Policing tells an important story that we all need to hear. The pipeline from local policing to deportation does not just remove unauthorized immigrants for petty traffic offenses. It frightens them, their families, and neighborhoods—indeed, this is a major cause of family separation—leading to self-denial of needed health care, a serious burden on communities. Kline’s explanation of these connections is clear, well-supported, and passionate; this is a vital book.” -- Josiah Heyman * co-editor of The U.S.-Mexico Transborder Region: Cultural Dynamics and Historical Interactions *“Attrition through enforcement has become the dominant response to the presence of unauthorized immigrants in the United States. Nolan Kline, through careful ethnographic exploration of the situation in Georgia, reveals the many negative impacts of this approach, not just on immigrants, but on American society as a whole. Told from the first-hand perspective of a participant observer, this book is a cri de coeur.” -- Doris Marie Provine * co-author of Policing Immigrants: Local Law Enforcement on the Front Lines *"This ethnography compels us to pay close attention to the multiple layers of immigration enforcement that mark the current moment, to recognize how policing reaches beyond any one encounter, and to consider what forms of community we hope to foster. Kline reveals how policing directly threatens the health and well-being of immigrants and their loved ones, and, in the end, erodes rights for all." -- Deborah A. Boehm * author of Returned: Going and Coming in an Age of Deportation *"Recommended." * Choice *Cohesively argued and well-written, Pathogenic Policing will make a valuable addition to courses in medical anthropology, public health, and migration, among others. More broadly, its timely lessons on the public health consequences of racist policing have important implications for anti-racist social movements and public policy alike. As the controversial relationship between policing and public safety (or endangerment) commands international attention, Pathogenic Policing advances a prescient and robustly evidenced argument for the incompatibility of racist law enforcement and community well-being." * Journal of Latin and American and Caribbean Anthropology *Table of ContentsContents Acknowledgements Introduction: “They Will Stop You” How Did We Get Here?

Rutgers University Press Landscapes of Activism Civil Society HIV and
Book SynopsisAIDS activists are often romanticized as extremely noble and selfless. However, the relationships among HIV support group members highlighted in Landscapes of Activism are hardly utopian or ideal. Reed shows that in Africa, superimposing a Western idea of what activism should look like actually hampers the success of these groups.Trade Review“Landscapes of Activism is a remarkable, eye-opening examination of the realities of HIV activism in the global South – what fuels it, what undermines it, and most importantly, the uses to which it has been put by powerful global health players. Reed offers a beautifully written but unsettling ethnographic account of the marred, and at times dysfunctional, forms of civic life that have evolved alongside increasingly biomedical and technocratic HIV treatment efforts.” -- Nora Kenworthy * author of Mistreated: The Political Consequences of the Fight Against AIDS in Lesotho *“Landscapes of Activism is a rich and nuanced ethnography. Its real strength lies in the quality of Reed’s research material and the social analysis generated from it. Of all the texts dealing with AIDS activism in Africa, this book offers a fresh critique, and its Mozambican-focus makes it particularly interesting.” -- Mandisa Mbali * author of South African AIDS Activism and Global Health Politics, Senior Lecturer in Historical Stud *“A thoughtful and timely account, this book examines the efforts of HIV support groups to become part of the HIV story in Mozambique -- and their struggle to do so amid the political demands of the state and the overwhelming presence of transnational organizations. Charting the “rise and fall” of HIV activism in Mozambique’s northernmost province, the book movingly describes the everyday challenges facing support group members, from the politics of affiliation to efforts at remaking the self.

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 *
