As threats of infectious disease grow and the nation confronts chronic health problems such as diabetes and obesity, health professionals, citizens, and community stakeholders must address increasingly complex ethical conflicts about public health policies and practices. Essentials of Public Health Ethics introduces students to the field of public health ethics, by focusing on cases. Topics span the discipline of public health and integrate materials, concepts, and frameworks from numerous fields in public health, such as health promotion, environmental health and health policy.

En una época tan acelerada como la actual la lentitud es más valiosa que nunca. Desde que era niño, John Franklin soñaba con el mar, pese a que la lentitud con que llevaba a cabo cuanto se proponía no lo hacía la persona más adecuada para los rigores de una vida de marinero. Franklin percibía el tiempo de una forma singular, y su capacidad de recordar con la mayor precisión todo aquello que captaban sus sentidos lo convirtió en uno de los navegantes más interesantes de todos los tiempos. Tras alistarse en la Marina, se vio obligado a tomar parte en la guerra, aunque lo que de verdad anhelaba era surcar en paz los mares y descubrir el legendario Paso del Noroeste. A esa búsqueda dedicaría todos sus esfuerzos al mando de un barco? Basada en la vida del propio Franklin, célebre por sus exploraciones en el Polo Norte, esta extraordinaria novela es también un estudio sobre la lentitud como el arte de dar un sentido al ritmo de la vida. «Nadolny nos ofrece un héroe de una esti...

The Virtual JFK DVD is now available! For more information on the film companion to the book, visit http://www.virtualjfk.com/ It Matters Who Is President-Then and Now At the heart of this provocative book lies the fundamental question: Does it matter who is president on issues of war and peace? The Vietnam War was one of the most catastrophic and bloody in living memory, and its lessons take on resonance in light of America's current devastating involvement in Iraq. Tackling head-on the most controversial and debated "what if" in U.S. foreign policy, this unique work explores what President John F. Kennedy would have done in Vietnam if he had not been assassinated in 1963. Drawing on a wealth of recently declassified documents, frank oral testimony of White House officials from both the Kennedy and Johnson administrations, and the analysis of top historians, this book presents compelling evidence that JFK was ready to end U.S. involvement well before the conflict escalat...

The withdrawal of young Americans from electoral politics has been as startling as it has been mystifying. Possible explanations for this phenomenon have focused on increased levels of cynicism and distrust among young voters, the behavior of candidates and campaign consultants, and the importance of institutional barriers to voting. Then came the 2004 election, when nearly 47 percent of eligible 18-to-24-year-olds turned out to vote_an 11 percent increase over 2000 levels. In the wake of this surprising development, Fountain of Youth looks at the tactics and strategies for youth mobilization_from improved civic education to recasting the theme of 'Rock the Vote' to reinvigorating political parties. Indeed, the book includes new and innovative research on the role of local political parties in registering and getting young voters to the polls. This volume will be of interest to scholars, teachers, practitioners, pundits-in short, anyone concerned about the future of our democr...

This volume, originally published in 1997, examines the combined effect of financial instability and industrial restructuring on postwar economic growth and recession in the US. It sheds light on the fundamental question of whether or not these trends are positive for the economy as a whole. To explain the cyclical nature of investment and finance, institutional theory regarding financial instability is examined in depth and related to Minsky's analysis of investment behaviour. The author has created an empirical model of this behaviour which, he claims, accurately predicts historical consumption investment and GDP cycles. Product details Format Hardback | 238 pages ...
