Paperback. Condition: New. Polio infantile paralysis was until recently a greatly feared disease, but is now preventable by a vaccine, which has largely eradicated it from the Western hemisphere; a global eradication campaign is underway. This book tells of the story of polio in fascinating and personal detail, through a series of essays written by those who experienced the disease: its victims, those who cared for them and those who worked to eliminate it altogether.The opening chapter recounts the history of polio from its earliest depiction in Egyptian art to the present day; it is followed by three personal descriptions of the experiences of patients who were paralysed in youth by polio, but went on tobuild successful lives. The challenges of caring for polio sufferers are described by two physicians who worked on polio wards at the height of the epidemic. The story of the cultivation of poliovirus and the testing of the vaccines is related by two research scientists who devoted much of their careers to the laboratories where the breakthroughs were achieved. The final essays describe the public health vaccination campaigns which successfully eradicated polio from the Americas, as experienced by those who directed them.Dr THOMAS M.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the profound teachings of Jesus and their relevance to the pressing social issues of the present day. The author argues that Jesus's vision of the "Kingdom of God" offers practical guidance for confronting challenges such as poverty, labor strife, racial injustice, and international conflict. Despite the significant progress made since Jesus's time, the author suggests that these issues persist due to a lack of faith and a failure to fully embrace Jesus's principles. The book provides a framework for understanding the root causes of these problems and proposes a path forward based on Jesus's teachings of compassion, service, and brotherhood, emphasizing that lasting solutions can only be found through collective effort and a commitment to a more just and equitable society. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

Offprint, single leaf folded once; a fine copy. The rare offprint of the paper announcing the first cultivation of polio virus in cell cultures, the breakthrough that made modern vaccines possible. After studying pathogenic bacteria for a decade, Harvard Medical School microbiologist John Enders (1897-1985) turned his attention to viruses, refining his culture techniques with the mumps before applying them to polio. 'Before this discovery, scientists had been able to grow polio virus only in the nervous tissue of susceptible laboratory animals, commonly monkeys, in a painstaking process that yielded minute quantities of the virus. The work of Enders, Weller, and Robbins had the tremendous practical effect of enabling scientists to prepare large amounts of polio virus, making possible the mass production of the Salk killed-virus vaccine and later, the Sabin live-virus vaccine. The impact of their work, however, was not limited to the study of polio. Their culture technique gave researchers an invaluable tool for the study of other viruses; made viral research much less laborious, time-consuming, and costly; and sparked revolutionary progress in the field; (America Association of Immunologists biography). Enders was responsible for 'one of the most gracious acts in the history of the Nobel Prize', refusing to accept the award when it was offered to him alone and insisting that his co-authors, 'those who did the work', be recognised equally (Rosen, 'Isolation of Poliovirus - John Enders and the Nobel Prize', New England Journal of Medicine, vol. 351, no. 1, October 2004).
