ISBN: 9780231146067 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In recent years, new disease threats--such as SARS, avian flu, mad cow disease, and drug-resistant strains of malaria and tuberculosis--have garnered media attention and galvanized political response.

ISBN: 9780521546669 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

Global Pharmaceuticals: Ethics, Markets, Practices
ISBN: 9780822337294 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In some parts of the world spending on pharmaceuticals is astronomical.

Individuals struggle to afford medications; whole populations are neglected, considered too poor to constitute profitable markets for the development and distribution of necessary drugs. The ethnographies brought together in this timely collection analyze both the dynamics of the burgeoning international pharmaceutical trade and the global inequalities that emerge from and are reinforced by market-driven medicine. They demonstrate that questions about who...
