The Cotton Dust Papers: Science, Politics, and Power in the Discovery of Byssinosis in the U.S
ISBN: 9780415784382 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. "The Cotton Dust Papers" is the story of the 50-year struggle for recognition in the U.S. of this pernicious occupational disease. The authors contend that byssinosis could have and should have been recognized much sooner, as a great deal was known about the disease as early as the 1930s.

What the story of byssinosis makes clear is that the economic and political power of private owners and managers can hinder...

ISBN: 9781483436531 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 94 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. A lifelong academic and teacher, Charles Levenstein has written poetry since the age of fifteen but was rarely published until the year 2000. Toward the end of his career, he watched one of his peers find comfort in projects outside the university environment. His peer built a sailboat as a form of solace and escape. Levenstein-never good with tools-sought a similar peace from the pressures of teaching. He then developed sleep apnea, which kept him awake most nights. Instead of suffering in the dark, he got up and found his tool: the written word. He lost himself in poetry. Some of the work...

Through case studies of three provincial hospitals in KwaZulu-Natal,...
