Infectious diseases once thought to be controlled (such as malaria and tuberculosis) are now spreading rapidly across the globe, and lethal new disease agents (HIV/AIDS, ebola and BSE) continue to emerge at an ominous pace. Policymakers must consider the implications of disease proliferation for economic prosperity, general well-being, and national security in affected societies. This work represents a collection of articles from the premier authors in the field on the ramifications of disease emergence for international development, international law, and national security.

15 years ago the noted physician, Dr. Michael Lockshin, Professor of Medicine and Gynecology at Weill Cornell Medical School and Director of the Barbara Volker Center at the Hospital for Special Surgery wrote Guarded Prognosis, a book about the health care system from the point of view of a physician with broad experience in treating chronic disease. Michael Lockshin is one of America's preeminent experts in the long-term care of chronically ill patients. He is a pioneer in solving health-care issues that arise with the illnesses on which he has done his most renowned research-systemic lupus erythematosus, Antiphospholipid syndrome, and other autoimmune diseases which especially afflict women. Guarded Prognosis has been re-issued as an eBook. 15 years after its first publication, the reader will be struck by how far the we have come-in terms of electronic records and the new hospitalist system-but also by how little has changed for patients with chronic illness navigating the U.S. healthcare system. Guarded Prognosis is newly relevant in the light of the acrimonious debate over "Obamacare" whose passage Dr. Lockshin heartily endorses as a route to the universal health coverage so desperately needed by those with chronic illness. These affecting stories of chronically ill patients and the policy lessons learned from their experience make clear how important it is to change our inefficient, costly, and often inhumane healthcare system. Otherwise, each of us could be at risk not only from disease, but from fragmented and costly healthcare.

More than two million medical students, doctors and other health professionals from around the globe have owned a copy of Davidson's Principles and Practice of Medicine since it was first published. Today's readers rely on this beautifully illustrated text to provide up-to-date detail of contemporary medical practice, presented in a style that is concise and yet easy to read. Davidson's provides the factual knowledge required to practise medicine, explaining it in the context of underlying principles, basic science and research evidence, and shows how to apply this knowledge to the management of patients who present with problems rather than specific diseases. The book has won numerous prizes including being highly commended in the British Medical Association book awards. Davidson's global perspective is enhanced by the input of an international team of authors and a distinguished International Advisory Board from 17 countries. Building on the foundations laid down by its original editor, Davidson's remains one of the world's leading and most respected textbooks of medicine.

Artists have always known intuitively what science is just beginning to discover: that creating a visual image through any medium can produce physical and emotional benefits for both the creator as well as those who view it. Most important, you don't need to think of yourself as an artist or even believe you have any "talent" to tap into the healing powers of art.

In this remarkable testament to the power of creativity, Barbara Ganim shows step-by-step how to use art to heal body, mind, and spirit. By using guided meditation and artistic techniques, you can gain insight and clarity into depression, anxiety, rage, and even illnesses, including cancer, arthritis, and AIDS.

At once inspirational and instructive, "Art and Healing" will teach you how to connect with negative, painful, and even repressed emotions and then express them through drawing, painting, sculpture, or collage. Releasing these feelings through the creative process frees up the immune system and clears the mind, allowing the body to fight off disease and begin to heal emotional wounds. Filled with actual stories from those who have triumphed over adversity and with more than a hundred different pieces of artwork created using this groundbreaking method, "Art and Healing" is sure to provide the tools needed for healing body and spirit.

How did early modern people imagine their bodies? What impact did the new disease syphilis and recurrent outbreaks of plague have on these mental landscapes? Why was the glutted belly such a potent symbol of pathology? Ranging from the Reformation through the English Civil War, Fictions of Disease in Early Modern England is a unique study of a fascinating cultural imaginary of 'disease' and its political consequences. Healy's original approach illuminates the period's disease-impregnated literature, including works by Shakespeare, Milton, Dekker, Heywood and others.

From Now On: An Introduction to the Philosophy, Practices, and Processes of Sevenfold Healing and Cure is for readers whose lives have been interrupted by illness or injury, who have passed through a time of darkness, and who are ready to take charge of their healing and cure. From Now On offers a practical post-modern idea of the body, useful definitions of healing and cure, and a system for complete self-guided personal care. The author developed this system for personal use after developing myalgic encephalomyelitis, an emerging epidemic illness of the late modern era. This system, which she calls sevenfold healing and cure, derives from a lifetime of experience as a student of biology, doctor of mainstream medicine, specialist in public health and preventive medicine, academic medical researcher, patient, spiritual seeker, world traveler, self-guided healer and medical detective. Readers can use the system introduced in From Now On to directly and subjectively observe their bodies and their lives and to use what they discover to initiate processes of healing and cure that work from the inside out. They can then choose to integrate these processes with those offered by doctors, counselors, and bodyworkers who observe the body indirectly and objectively and treat it from the outside in. Readers who practice sevenfold healing and cure learn to abide in healing states of being; to deepen, broaden, and extend those states over time; and to seed, sustain, and enhance abilities and habits that ease healing and cure. Readers can use these abilities and habits to realize healing as the continuous creation of relief, wellbeing and transformation and cure as the ongoing formation of a new and better life. Readers can also choose to integrate their self-guided care with the emerging global paradigm that is using ecologic and karmic ideas and forming systems that feature dynamism, sustainability, localism, interconnection, and resilience. May your healing and cure be swift and complete. "In this lovely and intelligent book, the author presents a vision that uses her scientific and medical knowledge and her personal experience with illness to bridge the chasm between modern medicine and healing. Those striving for personal healing and cure and their doctors can use this new vision as they seek to create their own post-modern forms of personal medical care." Jan M.
