People, Environment, Disease, and Death
Author: George Melvyn Howe
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Environmental health
Languages : en
Pages : 360
Book Description
As the author makes clear, medical statistics for earlier periods are difficult to extract from the available sources, so his discussion of diseases in pre-Normand and medieval periods are necessarily briefer than the chapters on Victorian England.

Environmental Hazards in the British Isles
Author: A.H. Perry
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000984745
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
Environmental Hazards in the British Isles (1981) offers a comprehensive account of the various hazards affecting Britain. Based on a wealth of empirical data, it provides a balanced perspective on phenomena that are usually presented in a sensational way by the media and then quickly forgotten. A three-fold methodology is suggested for the study of environmental hazards, which concentrates on their incidence, their causes and their frequency, and their impact on both the individual and society as a whole.

This book also examines the cholera ecology in Kashmir during the 19th century, and the significance of Kangri ・ a portable traditional heat source ・ in cultural studies, economics, and cancer research.

Wounded Planet
Author: Henk A.M.J. ten Have
Publisher: Johns Hopkins University Press
ISBN: 1421427451
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 371
Book Description
Going beyond an individualized perspective, he poses audacious questions: What does it mean that patients are poor or uninsured and cannot afford suggested medicines? How can we deal with the air and water pollution that are producing a patient's illness? How do we respond to patients complaining about the safety and quality of drinking water in their neighborhood? Touching on infectious and noncommunicable diseases, as well as food, medicine, and water, Wounded Planet transcends the limited vision of mainstream bioethics to compassionately reveal how healthcare and medicine must take a broad perspective that includes the social and environmental conditions in which individuals live.
