MJ - Ohio University Press Healing the Herds Disease Livestock Economies and the Globalization of Veterinary Medicine
Book SynopsisDuring the early 1990s, the ability of dangerous diseases to pass between animals and humans was brought once more to the public consciousness. These concerns continue to raise questions about how livestock diseases have been managed over time and in different social, economic, and political circumstances.Trade Review“The history of veterinary medicine told from anything other than a triumphalist perspective, usually with a nationalist slant, is rare. Essays in this outstanding collection cover rural as well as urban issues in veterinary disease and science from the eighteenth century to the present. The book will attract a wide range of readers from veterinary historians to all those interested in why livestock has been and is important to society.”“This volume represents a compelling call to broaden the territory covered by the history of veterinary medicine and animal health and it is essential reading for those interested in these topics. More broadly, some of its essays should inform studies of colonialism in the modern period, which have too often neglected to examine agriculture, foodways, and notions of environment, health, and disease.” * Journal of the History of Medicine and Allied Sciences *“The essays collected in Healing the Herds are most welcome additions to the existing scholarship on the history of veterinary medicine and livestock disease. The volume should be mandatory reading for specialists in these fields. Those concerned with eighteenth- through twentieth-century colonialism, European state building, and the ecological dynamics of Old World expansion will also find much on offer here.” * H-Environment *“The fine collection compiled by Karen Brown and Daniel Gilfoyle proves that a comparative history of veterinary medicine can be compelling.…By taking the story out of the laboratory and focusing on the political economy of disease and control, they show its significance well beyond animals and vets.” * Journal of Historical Geography *

Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Sacred Cows and Golden Geese The Human Cost of Experiments on Animals
Book SynopsisChallenging the belief that the use of animals in biomedical research is necessary for the advancement of human medical knowledge, the authors of this text assert that the use of animals in medical research is unethical because faulty science underpins such experimentation.Trade Review"Beautifully written, urgently conceived, comprehensively researched, Sacred Cows and Golden Geese is a desperately needed book that has the potential to incite a major shift in the thinking of millions of people. By relentlessly accessing the data with a stern objectivity, and compassionate embrace of the issues, Ray and Jean Greek have done what no other authors have yet accomplished: calmly, powerfully, convincingly explained why invasive animal research is a monstrous deception. The Greeks are likely to find themselves in the midst of a firestorm. What they have uncovered will make countless industries, universities, foundations, and institutions as grand as the National Institutes of Health quake in their sleep."--Michael Tobias "Everyone should read this book! Exposing the colossal corruption and bogus science behind much of the pharmaceutical industry, it amazes, enrages, and inspires. With countless clear, scientific examples the authors...dispel the myth that animal experiments have contributed to medical progress....It is imperative that animal-rights campaigners are well-versed in the wealth of information revealed here to prove that animal research is bad science and that far more sophisticated alternatives are available."--OutrageTable of Contents-How It All Began-Legislated Ineptitude-White Coat Welfare-Alternatives-The Real Origin of New Medications-Disease of the Cardiovascular System-Cancer, Our Modern-Day Plague-AIDS and Xenotransplantation

Rowman & Littlefield Publishers Human Rights Virtue and the Common Good
Book SynopsisVolume Three of Ernest Fortin: Collected Essays discusses the current state of Christianityespecially twentieth-century Catholic Christianityand the problems with which it has had to wrestle in the midst of rapid scientific progress, profound social change, and growing moral anarchy. In this volume, Fortin discusses such topics as Christianity and the liberal democratic ethos; Christianity, science, and the arts; Ancients and Moderns; papal social thought; virtue and liberalism; pagan and Christian virtue; and the American Catholic church and politics.Trade ReviewErnest Fortin possesses that rare combination, found only in the greatest thinkers, of both immense learning and a playful intellect. His essays are grounded, but not confined, in tradition; they are scholarly, but not pedantic. They are eloquent testimony to the eros of the mind. -- Mary Ann Glendon, Learned Hand Professor of Law, Harvard University, former U.S. Ambassador to the Holy SeeSuch deep and wide learning is rare enough. But the cumulative effect of bringing together all these valuable contributions is to let us see something rarer still: the life of a mind that is humane, lucid, and wise. -- Ralph Lerner, University of ChicagoErnest Fortin has a place of honor at the table of quiet erudition and uncompromising curiosity where adults try to understand how the world went crazy, and what might be done about it. If we are ever so much more fortunate than we deserve, younger scholars will follow Fortin in what is best described as the path of wisdom. -- Rev. Richard John Neuhaus, First ThingsThese three volumes are fundamental contributions to the problem of modernity. In his analysis of rights, Catholic social thought, the state, and general questions of justice, Ernest Fortin has penetrated to the core of the misplaced ideologies and enthusiams that have appeared in religious circles...Fortin is one of the few thinkers who take everything into consideration—experience, history, philosophy, revelation, the tradition of reason. -- James V. Schall, Professor of Government, Georgetown UniversityA grand champion of reasoned faith and faithful reason, Ernest Fortin lets us hear the Christian voice in political philosophy with all its eloquence and subtlety. Fortin has erudition and wit and generosity of spirit, and he is also that rarity, an observer of the political scene who does justice to both the here and now and the everywhere and always. -- Wilson Carey McWilliams, Rutgers University

Taylor & Francis Inc Fabrication of Silicon Microprobes for Optical
Book SynopsisThe development of near-field optics marked a major advance in microscopy and our ability to develop nanoscale technologies. However, the tapered optical fiber widely in use as the optical near-field probe has serious limitations in its fabrication, its optical transmission efficiency, and its use in arrays.Fabrication of Silicon Microprobes for Optical Near-Field Applications reports on several technological approaches to using silicon micromachining techniques for fabricating microprobes without the drawbacks of conventional optical fiber probes. The authors have developed a simple, effective method for batch-process production of silicon cantilevered probes with apertures as small as 20 nanometers. They have investigated in detail the probes'' optical performance characteristics and show how the silicon probes overcome the limitations of the optical fiber probes in terms of production throughput, optical throughput, reproducibility, simplicity of instrumentation, and mechaniTrade Review"All in all, I found this book interesting, well organized, and easy to understand.
