ISBN: 9780813521589 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 223 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. An 1865 report on public health in New York painted a grim picture of "high brick blocks and closely-packed houses . . . literally hives of sickness" propagating epidemics of cholera, smallpox, typhoid, typhus, and yellow fever, which swept through the whole city.

Conservatism and Crisis: The Anti-Modernist Perspective in Twentieth Century German Philosophy
ISBN: 9780739175514 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 126 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. What happens to a culture when it's most basic assumptions are questioned and rejected, but no new ones are offered to replace them? This book critically analyzes anti-modernist philosophy, the (perhaps futile) attempt to recover traditional worldviews and belief systems in order to cope with the void of meaning engendered by the upheavals of modernity. The textual focus of this book is interwar Germany, as it provides a dramatic and relatively recent example of cultural crisis, with a rich philosophical literature. The writings of Heidegger, Junger, Spengler, and others are discussed in...

The Contested Boundaries of American Public Health
ISBN: 9780813543123 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The role of public health services in America is generally considered to be the reduction of illness, suffering, and death. But what exactly does this mean in practice? At different points in history, professionals in the field have addressed housing reform, education about sex and illegal drugs, hospital and clinic care, gun violence, and even bioterrorism. But there is no agreement about how far public health efforts should go in attempting to modify behaviors seen as lifestyle choices, or whether the field's mandate extends to intervening in broader social and economic conditions. The...
