Originally published in 2003 and now reissued with a new
introduction, this collection provides an invaluable, academic
resource on the challenges bioterrorism posed for American society
and institutions. Critically selected essays from a wide range of
disciplines document and analyze the problems and implications for
political, economic, and legal institutions, as well as the
challenges a weapon of disease and fear can impose on public health
and public policy. By placing bioterrorism into its historical
context, this collection also traces the academic research and
historical decisions that have contributed to the formation of
American policies attempting to cope with a potentially
catastrophic attack on the population in general and urban
population in particular.

Although at the start of the 21st century bioterrorism was newly
feared by the public at large, it is one threat that institutions
have attempted to anticipate for years. Originally published in
2003, and now with a new introduction, this unique 2-volume
collection provides a multi-disciplinary resource on the challenges
bioterrorism poses for American society and institutions, from both
legal and political institutions, on one hand, to public health and
medical institutions on the other. Volume one documents and
analyses the challenge bioterrorism poses to these political,
economic and legal institutions, putting bioterrorism into its
historical context as a problem discussed and anticipated by
government for decades. Volume two documents the challenges
bioterrorism poses to public health and public policy as a weapon
of disease and fear. The materials in these volumes provide case
histories and discourse by specialists relating to the ways that
the bioterrorism threat has been perceived and approached by US
health and law institutions.
The control and utilization of urban spaces remains a highly
contested issue. Much of the debate centers on issues of economic
development versus the maintenance and support of already existing
communities. As a number of urban areas are in the throes of
gentrification and economic development projects, there is a dearth
of information on not only the use of private power in this
process, but also the response of the community members. This
anthology responds to a growing concern about urban and community
development, and the role of corporate power. These essays focus on
key themes of land ownership and management, community resistance
against corporate agendas, and public discourse over these issues.
These themes are presented and developed within an
interdisciplinary framework which includes information and
commentary about history, contemporary politics, economic
development, and ideology. Most of the chapters include case
studies that provide concrete examples of contemporary developments
in urban areas, and each chapter includes discussion questions and
a list of key words and terms to help guide the reader.
African Americans today continue to suffer disproportionately from
heart disease, diabetes, and other health problems. In Caring for
Equality David McBride chronicles the struggle by African Americans
and their white allies to improve poor black health conditions as
well as inadequate medical care-caused by slavery, racism, and
discrimination-since the arrival of African slaves in America.
Black American health progress resulted from the steady influence
of what David McBride calls the health equality ideal: the
principle that health of black Americans could and should be equal
to that of whites and other Americans. Including a timeline,
selected primary sources, and an extensive bibliographic essay,
McBride's book provides a superb starting point for students and
readers who want to explore in greater depth this important and
understudied topic in African American history.
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by

in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these

are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.Medical theory and
