R2,386 Discovery Miles 23 860 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

"Healing the Herds: Disease, Livestock Economies, and the Globalization of Veterinary Medicine" offers a new and exciting
comparative approach to the complex interrelationships of microbes, markets, and medicine in the global economy. It draws upon fourteen case studies from the Americas, western Europe, and the European and Japanese colonies to illustrate how the rapid growth of the international trade in animals through the nineteenth century engendered the spread of infectious diseases, sometimes with devastating consequences for indigenous pastoral societies.
At different times and across much of the globe, livestock epidemics have challenged social order and provoked state interventions, which were sometimes opposed by pastoralists. The intensification of agriculture has transformed environments, with consequences for animal and human health. But the last two centuries have also witnessed major changes in the way societies have conceptualized diseases and sought to control them. The rise of germ theories and the discovery of vaccines against some infections made it possible to move beyond the blunt tools of animal culls and restrictive quarantines of the past. Nevertheless, these older methods have remained important to strategies of control and prevention, as demonstrated during the recent outbreak of foot and mouth disease in Britain in 2001.
From the late nineteenth century, advances in veterinary technologies afforded veterinary scientists a new professional status and allowed them to wield greater political influence. In the European and Japanese colonies, state support for biomedical veterinary science often led to coercive policies for managing the livestock economies of the colonized peoples. In western Europe and North America, public responses to veterinary interventions were often unenthusiastic and reflected a latent distrust of outside interference and state regulation. Politics, economics, and science inform these essays on the history of animal diseases and the expansion in veterinary medicine.

The Art and Science of Making Up Your Mind (Hardcover): Rex V. Brown The Art and Science of Making Up Your Mind (Hardcover)
Rex V. Brown; Edited by Jonathan Baron, Karen Brown
R4,465 Discovery Miles 44 650 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

The Art and Science of Making Up Your Mind presents basic decision-making principles and tools to help the reader respond efficiently and wisely to everyday dilemmas. Although most decisions are made informally (whether intuitively without deliberate thought, or based on careful reflection), over the centuries people have tried to develop systematic, scientific and structured ways in which to make decisions. Using qualitative counterparts to quantitative models, Rex Brown takes the reader through the basics, like 'what is a decision' and then considers a wide variety of real-life decisions, explaining how the best judgments can be made using logical principles. Combining multiple evaluations of the same judgment ("hybrid judgment") and exploring innovative analytical concepts (such as "ideal judgment"), this book explores and analyzes the skills needed to master the basics of non-mathematical decision making, and what should be done, using real world illustrations of decision methods. The book is an ideal companion for students of Thinking, Reasoning and Decision-Making, and also for anyone wanting to understand how to make better judgments in their everyday lives.

African local knowledge and livestock health - Diseases and treatments in South Africa (Paperback): William Beinart, Karen Brown African local knowledge and livestock health - Diseases and treatments in South Africa (Paperback)
William Beinart, Karen Brown
R380 R351 Discovery Miles 3 510 Save R29 (8%) Ships in 5 - 10 working days

Understanding local knowledge has become a central academic project among those interested in Africa and developing countries. In South Africa, land reform is gathering pace and African people hold an increasing proportion of the livestock in the country. Animal health has become a central issue for rural development. Yet African veterinary medical knowledge remains largely unrecorded. This book seeks to fill that gap. This book captures for the first time the diversity, as well as the limits, of a major sphere of local knowledge. Beinart and Brown argue that African approaches to animal health rest largely in environmental and nutritional explanations. They explore the widespread use of plants as well as biomedicines for healing. While rural populations remain concerned about supernatural threats, and many men think that women can harm their cattle, the authors challenge current ideas on the modernisation of witchcraft. They examine more ambient forms of supernatural danger expressed in little-known concepts such as mohato and umkhondo. They take the reader into the homesteads and kraals of rural black South Africans and engage with a key rural concern - vividly reporting the ideas of livestock owners. This is groundbreaking research which will have important implications for analyses of local knowledge more generally as well as effective state interventions and animal treatments in South Africa.

Contemporary Social Work Practice: Integrating Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is designed to educate students about relevant terms and concepts related to racism, oppression, and cultural humility. It provides them with the knowledge and guidance they need to cultivate a social work practice grounded in cultural competency and social justice. The text provides students with a brief history of marginalized groups, real-world examples that speak to the need for culturally responsive practice, and tools for successful assessment, intervention, and evaluation. Chapters and readings examine social work pioneers who have fought for inclusion, critical race theory, America's changing landscape, cultural humility, and theories of prejudice. Students learn how policy impacts practice, social class impacts service provision, and nuances for working with Native Americans, Africans across the diaspora, Latina/o families, and Asian Americans. The final chapter provides students with frameworks for social work rooted in social justice. Self-reflection activities throughout the text help readers better understand the ways in which their personal worldview can influence how they engage with others with different worldviews. An illuminating and essential guide, Contemporary Social Work Practice is well suited for courses and programs in social work, especially those with focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion.
