This best-selling textbook returns for a seventh edition with
material on the most fundamental and fascinating issues in
sociology today. The authors continue their tradition of focusing

every chapter. The text continues to frame sociological debates
around the major theoretical perspectives of sociology and focus on
capturing students' imaginations with cutting-edge research and
real-world events. The hallmark of the book continues to be clear
writing that helps students understand the intricacies of the
discipline like no other textbook on the market. New to the seventh

replace "Obamacare". Expanded coverage of mass shootings and the
corresponding policy debates. Expanded coverage and new focus on
police-involved shootings and gun control in the "Deviance, Crime,

The advent of tropical medicine was a direct consequence of
European and American imperialism, when military personnel,
colonial administrators, businessmen, and settlers encountered a
new set of diseases endemic to the tropics. Professor Farley
describes how governments and organizations in Britain, the British
colonies, the United States, Central and South America, South
Africa, China, and the World Health Organization faced one
particular tropical disease, bilharzia or schistosomiasis.
Bilharzia is caused by a species of blood vessel-inhabiting
parasitic worms and today afflicts over 200 million people in
seventy-four countries. John Farley demonstrates that British and
American imperial policies and attitudes largely determined the
nature of tropical medicine. Western medical practitioners defined
the type of medical system that was imposed on the indigenous
populations; they dictated which diseases were important and worthy
of study, which diseases were to be controlled, and which control
methods were to be used.

John Farley, formerly principal cook at the London Tavern, designed
his 1811 "The London Art of Cookery..." to be a complete source of
recipes and cooking information for housewives and domestic
servants. Containing "every elegant and plain preparation in
improved modern cookery -- Pickling, potting, salting, collaring,
and sousing -- The whole art of confectionary, and making of
jellies, jams, and creams, and ices -- The preparation of sugars,
candying, and preserving -- Made wines, cordial-waters, and
malt-liquors -- Bills of fare for each month -- Wood-cuts,
illustrative of trussing, carving, &c," as well as preparations
for meats, vegetables, and soups, this work is a complete reference
full of recipes that would easily be adapted to today's kitchen.
Brock Chisholm, the World Health Organization, and the Cold War is
the story of a man and an institution. Chisholm was one of the most
influential Canadians of the twentieth century: a world renowned
psychiatrist, he was the first director-general of the WHO. During
Chisholm's lifetime, only Lester B. Pearson and Marshall McLuhan
were as internationally prominent.Today, Chisholm has been largely
forgotten - perhaps because he was so controversial. A fierce
critic of jingoistic nationalism, he supported world peace and
world government, and became a champion of the United Nations and
the WHO, the building of which became his life's work. Unlike the
WHO's official histories, which place the organization in a
political vacuum, Farley focuses on the battles Chisholm and his
allies waged during the early Cold War, when the US and the Soviet
Union eyed each other warily and the Roman Catholic Church flexed
its muscles on morally sensitive medical issues. Farley concludes
that Chisholm tried, with limited success, to separate world health
from world politics.This story of one of Canada's most influential
and controversial historical figures will appeal to readers
interested in post-1945 international politics, world health, and
medical history, as well as to those interested in the life of
Brock Chisholm and the history of the World Health Organization.
