Paperback. Condition: Very Good. "The UN was not created to take mankind to heaven, but to save humanity from hell." -Dag Hammarskjold, United Nations Secretary-General 1953-1961 The turn of the 21st century was an objective low point in the history of human health: AIDS was scourging Africa, millions of women died each year in child birth, and billions suffered under malnourishment and poverty. In response, the United Nations launched its Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), an ambitious charter that since 2000 has measurably reduced the worldwide burdens of poverty, hunger, and disease. With the MDGs set to expire in 2015, continued progress on these fronts is anything but certain. In addition to the persisting threats of the 20th century, globalization has sped the development of new threats -- pandemics, climate change, chronic disease -- that now threaten rich and poor countries equally. "To Save Humanity from Hell" is a collection of short, honest essays on what single issue matters most for the future of global health. Authored by the world's leading voices from science, politics, and social advocacy, this collection is both a primer on the major issues of our time and a potential blueprint for post-2015 health and development. This unparalleled collection will provide illuminating and thought-provoking reading for anyone invested in our collective future and well-being. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

First Edition
Book is in excellent condition. Binding tight. Pages clean and unmarked. Small price tag on back cover. The focus is on Ji Yun's (1724-1805) 'Random Jottings at the Cottage of Close Scrutiny', but extensive referenceis also made to other collectionspublished at about the same timeand earlier works in the genre, from the Six Dynasties down to the Ming. Indidivual chapters deal with the prefacespenned by the compilers, which reveal a variety of motivesbehind the compiling efforts; the ongoing tradition of conversational narratives, which constitutesa context for understanding eigteeth-centurytales; the ideological nature of the stories, manipulated by both sceptics and supernaturalists to present views on the existence of ghosts and fox-spirits; and the attempts made by storytellers to recast the storiesin the prevalent modes of intellectual discourse in the late Qianlong era.

Paperback. Condition: New. A groundbreaking new history of global health from one of the greatest leaders in the field.In Change Is Possible, public health legend William H. Foege and five coauthors chronicle the failures and successes of global health through the modern age, including the massive impacts of colonialism, religious groups, philanthropies, politics, NGOs, and more.Foege, who has served in local, national, and international public health contexts-including as the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-is uniquely qualified to reflect on the history of global health. He and his Rollins School of Public Health coauthors explain why colonialism has been the greatest disaster for global health, whereas military medicine may have been its greatest asset. From the rapid development of NGOs to the impact of pharmaceutical companies over the last 35 years to the hybrid programs that are now responsible for innovative contributions, the authors discuss multiple impacts on global health. In chapters with coauthors Paul Elish, Alison T. Hoover, Madison Gabriella Lee, Deborah Chen Tseng, and Kiera Chan, Foege explores additional essential topics such as the legacy of colonialism in global health, early philanthropy versus new philanthropy, and how to promote positive change. Foege also shares critical lessons from the smallpox campaign-a disease he helped eradicate-and how these historical lessons can be applied in global health work today.The book's research and reflections make this an essential book for students and readers interested in global health. In a narrative that is both deeply personal and universal, Foege shares lessons learned and personal experiences that craft a strikingly new history of global health.
