Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Geographical Distribution of Disease in Great Britain When the publication of this second edition was first proposed, it was my intention to divide equally the materials of the first edition among the several parts of its successor, with such additions as had accrued since 1875. On reviewing, however, the material that had accumulated since the issue of the First Edition, it was considered advisable to condense within this Part all the facts and the propositions based upon them contained in the original work, so as to leave the succeeding parts, devoted to the principal river-basins of Great Britain, entirely free for the discussion of the new statistical material and the local facts connected with the natural history of certain diseases. Hence the delay in the issue of Part I., and the increase in the size of this volume. In the first edition I had simply to describe some remarkable and hitherto undiscovered facts in the natural history of disease, and place before my readers the physical, geological, climatological, and other facts which were coincident with certain well-defined manifestations in the geographical distribution of cancer, phthisis, and heart disease. In this second edition my function is enlarged, if not exalted, for it becomes my duty, not only to add the results of ten years more deaths (1861-70) to those I first published (1851-60), but to show how the later disease-facts agree with the earlier, and how by their so doing the geographical manifestations, which were once only spoken of as coincident with certain other facts connected with the local soils and climates, may now be regarded as having a closer and more clearly-defined relationship. Had the geographical distribution of deaths from Cancer, Phthisis, or Heart Disease throughout England and Wales during 1861-70 differed in any essential character from that observed during the preceding decade, 1851-60, I would not have embarked on the costly undertaking of which this volume forms the first part.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Geographical Distribution of Animal Viral Diseases attempts to shed some light on the global distribution of 110 different viral diseases, mainly of livestock and companion animals. The world literature was screened for 110 different viruses, and maps were prepared. These maps delineate the global distribution of pathogenic viruses based on authenticated reports from a variety of reliable sources. Four viruses were categorized as affecting more than one species to a significant degree (astrovirus, rabies, rotaviruses, and Rift Valley fever). The largest number of maps involved viruses that affect humans. Of the 28 viruses a large number were from the California encephalitis group. Ten of the 28 viruses were reported only in the Eastern Hemisphere, 14 only in the Western Hemisphere, and four were worldwide. Birds were the next most frequently affected group with the 15 viruses, followed by pigs with 14 viruses. Overall the vector-borne viruses appear to have much sharper and clear-cut geographical boundaries than the others.

Download or read book The Cancer Problem written by Agnes Arnold-Forster and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-01-19 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cancer Problem offers the first medical, cultural, and social history of cancer in nineteenth-century Britain. It begins by looking at a community of doctors and patients who lived and worked in the streets surrounding the Middlesex Hospital in London. It follows in their footsteps as they walked the labyrinthine lanes and passages that branched off Tottenham Court Road; then, through seven chapters, its focus expands to successively include the rivers, lakes, and forests of England, the mountains, poverty, and hunger of the four nations of the British Isles, the reluctant and resistant inhabitants of the British Empire, and the networks of scientists and doctors spread across Europe and North America. The Cancer Problem: Malignancy in Nineteenth-Century Britain argues that it was in the nineteenth century that cancer acquired the unique emotional, symbolic, and politicized status it maintains today. Through an interrogation of the construction, deployment, and emotional consequences of the disease's incurability, this book reframes our conceptualization of the relationship between medicine and modern life and reshapes our understanding of chronic and incurable maladies, both past and present.
Download or read book The Empire of Climate written by David N. Livingstone and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2024-04-16 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How the specter of climate has been used to explain history since antiquity Scientists, journalists, and politicians increasingly tell us that human impacts on climate constitute the single greatest threat facing our planet and may even bring about the extinction of our species. Yet behind these anxieties lies an older, much deeper fear about the power that climate exerts over us. The Empire of Climate traces the history of this idea and its pervasive influence over how we interpret world events and make sense of the human condition, from the rise and fall of ancient civilizations to the afflictions of the modern psyche. Taking readers from the time of Hippocrates to the unfolding crisis of global warming today, David Livingstone reveals how climate has been critically implicated in the politics of imperial control and race relations; been used to explain industrial development, market performance, and economic breakdown; and served as a bellwether for national character and cultural collapse. He examines how climate has been put forward as an explanation for warfare and civil conflict, and how it has been identified as a critical factor in bodily disorders and acute psychosis. A panoramic work of scholarship, The Empire of Climate maps the tangled histories of an idea that has haunted our collective imagination for centuries, shedding critical light on the notion that everything from the wealth of nations to the human mind itself is subject to climate’s imperial rule.
Download or read book A Century of British Geography written by Ron Johnston and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2003-09-11 with total page 722 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These essays trace the evolution of British geography as an academic discipline during the last hundred years, and stress how the study of the world we live in is fundamental to an understanding of its problems and concerns. Never before has such an ambitious and wide-ranging review been attempted, and never before has it been done with so much knowledge and passion. The principal themes covered in this volume are those of environment, place and space, and the applied geography of map-making and planning. The volume also addresses specific issues such as disease, urbanization, regional viability, and ethics and social problems. This lively and accessible work offers many insights into the minds and practices of today's geographers.
Download or read book Disease Control Priorities Third Edition Volume 9 written by Dean T. Jamison and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2017-12-06 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the culminating volume in the DCP3 series, volume 9 will provide an overview of DCP3 findings and methods, a summary of messages and substantive lessons to be taken from DCP3, and a further discussion of cross-cutting and synthesizing topics across the first eight volumes. The introductory chapters (1-3) in this volume take as their starting point the elements of the Essential Packages presented in the overview chapters of each volume. First, the chapter on intersectoral policy priorities for health includes fiscal and intersectoral policies and assembles a subset of the population policies and applies strict criteria for a low-income setting in order to propose a "highest-priority" essential package. Second, the chapter on packages of care and delivery platforms for universal health coverage (UHC) includes health sector interventions, primarily clinical and public health services, and uses the same approach to propose a highest priority package of interventions and policies that meet similar criteria, provides cost estimates, and describes a pathway to UHC.
