This important book traces the history of genetics and genomics
policy in Britain. Detailing the scientific, political, and
economic factors that have informed policy and the development of
new health services, the book highlights the particular importance
of the field of Public Health Genomics. Although focused primarily
on events in Britain, the book reveals a number of globally
applicable lessons. The authors explain how and why Public Health
Genomics developed and the ways in which genetics and genomics have
come to have a central place in many important health debates.
Consideration of their ethical, social, and legal implications and
ensuring that new services that are equitable, appropriate, and
well-targeted will be central to effective health planning and
policymaking in future. The book features: Interviews with leading
individuals who were intimately involved in the development of
genetics and genomics policy and Public Health Genomics Insights
from experts who participated in a pair of 'witness seminars'
Historical analysis exploiting a wide range of primary sources
Written in a clear and accessible style, this book will be of
interest to those involved in the research and practice of
genetics, genomics, bioethics, and population health, but also to
NHS staff, policymakers, politicians, and the public. It will also
be valuable supplementary reading for students of the History of
Medicine and Health, Public Health, and Biomedical Sciences.

The making of Thatcherism examines the Conservative Party's period
in opposition between 1974 and 1979, focusing on the development of
key policy on issues from the economy, to immigration and Scottish
Devolution. Offering a detailed analysis of Conservative Party
policy during this period, from the point at which it had last been
in government to the point at which it subsequently regained power,
this book helps us to understand the significance of the
Conservative victory in 1979: What exactly did more than 13 million
Britons vote for in May of that year? This period is typically
viewed as one of dramatic change within the Conservative Party;
however, Philip Begley argues that policy changes were more modest
and complex than has been previously considered. Focusing on the
short-term political context, Begley contends that though the roots
of Thatcherism were beginning to emerge in the party, Thatcherism
does not appear to have been inevitable in policy terms by 1979.
Providing an overview of the intellectual, economic, and social
contexts, this book examines the range of factors driving the
Conservative Party's development of policy. -- .
