The Politics of Public Health $38.19 In the progressive public health tradition, Meredeth Turshen criticizes conventional approaches to disease and offers an alternative framework based on the concept that health and illness are socially produced throughout the world. Using contemporary and historical accounts of great moments and great debates in public health, Turshen exposes the failure to improve health even when a specific program like smallpox vaccination succeeds. Her analyses incorporate theoretical contributions from Marxism and feminism. The book is divided into four parts. Part I outlines current and alternative approaches to health, theories of disease causation, the policies and practices that follow from these theories, and issues of equity and access to health care. A chapter on womens health in three African countries illustrates these concepts. Part II describes limits to conventional public health, using case histories of plague control, dioxin decontamination, sanitary reform, and smallpox and malaria eradication. In Part III, Turshen presents case histories of preventive medicine, nutrition and agribusiness, mental health, and AIDS in Africa to suggest new approaches based on an alternative model of social production. Part IV looks to the future of public health by examining basic issues in the integration of research, training, and services; it concludes with an agenda for action. Meredeth Turshen is a Professor in the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers University and author of The Political Ecology of Disease in Tanzania (1984) and Privatizing Health Services in Africa (1999), published by Rutgers University Press.

International Handbook of Public Health $276.71 At the end of the 20th century, many of the major health problems facing highly industrialized nations stem from advanced technology, a richer diet, and lengthened life span. The scope of public health has greatly expanded. While health hazards to the public have increased, the strategies available to remedy them have grown commensurably. Public health has borrowed and adapted knowledge from the biological, medical, behavioral, and social sciences, and has been quick to recognize the potential of new fields such as the management sciences for safeguarding the health of the community. Through chapters written by expert contributors, this reference provides a synopsis of the state of the development of public health in twenty countries around the world. These countries vary considerably in national policies for organizing health services. Some are heavily industrialized, such as Germany and the United States, while others, such as Tanzania and Thailand, are less developed. Each chapter is devoted to a particular country, with chapters discussing similar issues in order to foster comparisons. Chapters discuss the overall status of public health from practice to research and teaching, and take into account the resulting health effects and the quality and efficiency of the delivery systems. Chapters include extensive references, and an appendix lists organizations in each country.

Politics and Public Health in the 50 States $109.93 In the United States certain state governments spend relatively more money than other states per capita on public health services. Why is it that some are willing to spend more to protect their respective populations? This study seeks to discover what factors impact this discrepancy, but it is most concerned with the impact of citizen ideology on funding. Is there a strong connection between the political beliefs of the citizens in a given state and their public health policy? If not, why not, and where is the disconnect? Since there is significant variation from state to state in the funding of childhood immunizations, data from a 50 state survey of immunization program officials is used to observe this variance. To provide context, the history and structure of public health services, the role of state governments, and the public health/health care dichotomy are briefly presented. For a more indepth case study the text focuses on a single state, Texas. Policy makers and concerned members of the electorate who seek to understand factors that influence public health policy at the state level should find this book both informative and provocative.

Trade and Public Health By Mcgrady, Benn $132.82 Noncommunicable diseases, associated with risk factors such as tobacco consumption, poor diet, and alcohol use, represent a growing health burden around the world. The seriousness of noncommunicable diseases is reflected in the adoption of international instruments such as the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control; the WHO Global Strategy on Diet, Physical Activity and Health; and the WHO Global Strategy to Reduce the Harmful Use of Alcohol. In line with these instruments, states are beginning to use measures such as taxes, restrictions on marketing, product regulation, and labeling measures for public health purposes. This book examines the extent to which the law of the World Trade Organization restricts domestic implementation of these types of measures.

From Pathology to Politics: Public Health in America $42.84 Why the almost daily announcements of new public health threats and proclamations of impending crises? Bennett and DiLorenzo begin by examining the public health bureaucracy, its preoccupation with expanding governmental programs, and its concern with political issues that too often have little to do with improving public health. Then they trace the evolution of the American public health movement from its founding after the Civil War to the 1950s. They describe the transformation of public healths focus from the eradication of disease to social policy as a byproduct of the 1960s. Bennett and DiLorenzo include case studies of the politicization of the public health movement in America. The authors reveal methods of statistical manipulation that certain public health researchers use to achieve politically correct results. A final chapter discusses the implications of the transformation of public health from pathology to politics. This vigorously argued analysis sees the public health movement as claiming expertise on virtually every social issue, from poverty to human rights. Students of public policy and public health officials, along with readers interested in public health issues, will find this absorbing reading. A serious, eyeopening indictment of Americas publichealth establishment. Bennett and DiLorenzo mark the release of the federal governments Kerner Report of 1968 as the point when the publichealth establishment (PHE), incarnated in the American Public Health Association (APHA), crossed its Rubicon and left the realm of science for the realm of politics. That report, discussing the root causes of poverty, was embraced by the APHA, which then boldly announced that social policy rather than public health, per se, would henceforth become its main focus.

Public Health Significance of Drinking Water $106.74 Water is the most abundant and widely distributed compound on earth. Although in its natural state this compound remains in the purest form, but it is very difficult to find a source of water that has not been disturbed by man. The World Health Organization has estimated that up to 80 of all sickness and disease in the world is caused by inadequate sanitation, polluted water or unavailability of portable water. The incidence of waterborne diseases, such as cholera, typhoid, dysentery and diarrhoeal diseases can be drastically reduced by providing safe drinking water to the people. To get rid from suspended biological agents and to ensure the supply of pure drinking water, the public health sanitarians stress upon the need prior treatment or purified before consumption. The book therefore provides knowledge on comparative public health implication associated with rural and urban communities, awareness towards the waterborne diseases and emphasize on to demonstrate the evidence of interrelatedness between bacteriological qualities of domestic water supply, practice of sanitation, formulate and suggest intervention activities to minimize microbial contaminants in water supply.

Public Health Perceptions of American Youth $22.31 The story of public health is as old as the story of life itself. When the first nucleic acids gave rise to the very beginnings of biota, the planet saw the birth of a new endeavor: selfpreservation. Understanding lifes inherent propensity to preserve itself is quintessential to our understanding of even the most modern aspects of healthcare. If we as global communities are to solve any healthrelated crisis, we must be aware that at the heart of all our endeavors lie individuals with inherent healthrelated selfperceptions. Moreover, if we are unable to acquire and use this knowledge as it pertains to our societys youth, which both the World Bank and the United Nations General Assembly define as individuals between the ages of fifteen and twentyfour, then it is those generations that will be haunted in the most direct and undeserving terms. Therefore, I have set out to explore the matter of health perceptions among youth in the hope that greater understanding in our society will lead to a justifiable expectation of excellence in future developments of the global community.
