The purpose of public and community health is to improve the health of populations or groups rather than concentrating on individuals. This book examines the ethical issues associated with public and community health. The contributors analyse the major ethical issues in public health - prioritisation, public participation, health promotion and screening - all of which reflect current practice in the UK. They examine what health services should be available, who should have access to which health services, what are the best strategies for preventing disease, how can professional and public views be reconciled and when can an individual's health needs override the choice of a community. The contributors apply up-to-date ethical theory to practical examples in public health practice to provide a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the key issues in public health ethics.
Winner, 2019 Anna Julia Cooper and C.L.R. James Award, given by the
National Council for Black Studies Finalist, 2019 Pauli Murray Book
Prize in Black Intellectual History, given by the African American
Intellectual History Society Winner, 2019 Outstanding Book Award,
given by the History of Education Society The inspiring story of
the black students, faculty, and administrators who forever changed
America’s leading educational institutions and paved the way for
social justice and racial progress The eight elite institutions
that comprise the Ivy League, sometimes known as the Ancient
Eight—Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Penn, Columbia, Brown, Dartmouth,
and Cornell—are American stalwarts that have profoundly
influenced history and culture by producing the nation’s and the
world’s leaders. The few black students who attended Ivy League
schools in the decades following WWII not only went on to greatly
influence black America and the nation in general, but
unquestionably awakened these most traditional and selective of
American spaces. In the twentieth century, black youth were in the
vanguard of the black freedom movement and educational reform.
Upending the Ivory Tower illuminates how the Black Power movement,
which was borne out of an effort to edify the most disfranchised of
the black masses, also took root in the hallowed halls of
America’s most esteemed institutions of higher education. Between
the close of WWII and 1975, the civil rights and Black Power
movements transformed the demographics and operation of the Ivy
League on and off campus. As desegregators and racial pioneers,
black students, staff, and faculty used their status in the black
intelligentsia to enhance their predominantly white institutions
while advancing black freedom. Although they were often
marginalized because of their race and class, the newcomers altered
educational policies and inserted blackness into the curricula and
culture of the unabashedly exclusive and starkly white schools.
This book attempts to complete the narrative of higher education
history, while adding a much needed nuance to the history of the
Black Power movement. It tells the stories of those students,
professors, staff, and administrators who pushed for change at the
risk of losing what privilege they had. Putting their status, and
sometimes even their lives, in jeopardy, black activists
negotiated, protested, and demonstrated to create opportunities for
the generations that followed. The enrichments these change agents
made endure in the diversity initiatives and activism surrounding
issues of race that exist in the modern Ivy League. Upending the
Ivory Tower not only informs the civil rights and Black Power
movements of the postwar era but also provides critical context for
the Black Lives Matter movement that is growing in the streets and
on campuses throughout the country today. As higher education
continues to be a catalyst for change, there is no one better to
inform today’s activists than those who transformed our
country’s past and paved the way for its future.
Providing an essential brainstem relay for three cranial nerves,
the NST coordinates highly complex sensory information. While other
functions of the NST have received attention, its role in gustatory
processing has received little. The first reference devoted
exclusively to gustatory processing, The Role of the Nucleus of the
Solitary Tract in Gustatory Processing offers an in-depth review of
one of the most important central relay stations in the brain.
Combining widely dispersed research into a comprehensive single
volume, it presents a thorough historical background, documents the
anatomy of the rostral nucleus of the solitary tract (rNST), and
explores the properties of synaptic transmitters and neurons within
that tract. The book examines the role of reflex activities and
considers factors that influence how gustatory rNST neurons respond
to taste stimuli. It describes the development and maturational
changes the rNST undergoes and considers the challenge involved
with identifying rNST neural circuits. The Role of the Nucleus of
the Solitary Tract in Gustatory Processing brings together expert
investigators who have contributed substantially to the current
knowledge of the anatomy, physiology, and developmental biology of
the solitary nucleus. This pertinent work serves as a standard
reference for those involved in the field, providing ready access
to past investigations and inviting practitioners to create new
approaches that will advance knowledge about the central processing
of gustatory information.
Established on the campus of Cornell University in the fall of
1905, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity began as an organization to meet
the needs of a handful of male African American college students.
Founded with ideals of civic action and community uplift, Alpha Phi
Alpha was established almost 40 years after the end of the Civil
War and just a few years after the end of The Nadir-the period when
institutional racism was worse than at any other post-bellum
period. Exemplified by its founders, known as The Jewels, the first
black intercollegiate fraternity represented virtues such as
brotherhood, scholarship, and social progress. Important leaders
such as Charles Hamilton Houston, Thurgood Marshall, Hubert
Humphrey, Paul Robeson, Cornel West, W. E. B. Dubois, Martin Luther
King Jr., Edward Brook, and Duke Ellington constitute just a small
number of those who have been initiated into the ranks of Alpha.
Despite the fraternity's historical prominence, a question lingers:
have the organization and its members remained faithful to the
precepts articulated by the founding members? In Alpha Phi Alpha: A
Case Study Within Black Greekdom, Gregory S. Parks aims to answer
this question through a collection of original essays, written by
members of the fraternity and scholars in African American studies,
education, political science, and history. Alpha Phi Alpha examines
the very essence of the organization, the meaning and identity of
the fraternity, and also ascertains whether and to what degree the
organization has drifted from its early ideals. Drawing from
Alpha's history, national magazines, and archives, as well as
relying on interviews with national officers and lay members, Parks
and his contributors will grapple with the growing body of
empirical, critical, and historical scholarship on Black
Greek-letter Organizations (BGLOs). Gregory S. Parks is coeditor of
African American Fraternities and Sororities: The Legacy and the
Vision (UPK). He has edited two additional books on Black
Greek-letter organizations, as well as a book on diversity within
college fraternities and sororities. A life member of Alpha Phi
Alpha Fraternity, Inc., he received his PhD in psychology from the
University of Kentucky and his JD at Cornell Law School.
Breast augmentation paired with mastopexy is often regarded as a
challenging procedure since it is essentially two surgeries in one.
Because of the complexity of the dual procedure, as well as the
careful planning required, many doctors avoid performing these
surgeries together, instead preferring their patient to undergo two
separate surgeries.These two procedures can be safely performed
with methodical planning and intra operative execution. This book
provides not only insight and instruction on a variety of mastopexy
procedures and accompanying types of breast augmentation, but it
will also help the clinician determine the optimal surgery for each
individual patient. Primarily meant for practicing aesthetic
plastic surgeons, Augmentation Mastopexy -- Mastering the Art in
the Management of the Ptotic Breast will also find use among
plastic surgery fellows and plastic surgery residents. Unlike some
of the competitive literature that briefly touches on the topic or
simply provides an overview, the information provided is methodical
and comprehensive, providing a wealth of color images to accompany
the techniques described. Case studies with long-term follow up are
also included, offering not only an understanding of potential
pitfalls but a veritable how-to for handling complications when
they do arise.
Pre-World War II Hollywood musicals weren't only about Astaire and
Rogers, Mickey and Judy, Busby Berkeley, Bing Crosby, or Shirley
Temple. The early musical developed through tangents that reflected
larger trends in film and American culture at large. Here is a
survey of select titles with a variety of influences: outsized
songwriter personalities, hubbub over "hillbilly" and cowboy
stereotypes, the emergence of swing, and the brief parade of opera
stars to celluloid. Featured movies range from the smash hit
Alexander's Ragtime Band (1938), to obscurities such as Are You
There? (1930) and Swing, Sister, Swing (1938), to the high-grossing
but now forgotten Mountain Music (1937), and It's Great to Be Alive
(1933), a zesty pre-Code musical/science-fiction/comedy mishmash.
Also included are some of the not-so-memorable pictures made by
some of the decade's greatest musical stars.
