Poor Health: Social Inequality before and after the Black Report
ISBN: 9780714683102 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Health inequalities have re-emerged as a major issue in the 21st century. Yet the past history of this subject has been little understood. What causes health inequalities? How can they be tackled? This work explores how health inequalities have been examined in the past, and the policy record in treating them. The focus is on how health inequality has been dealt with since the founding of the National Health Service in 1948. Despite the egalitarian aspirations of its founders, the NHS seems to have had little effect on levels of health inequality. One key effort to understand why was the 1980...

Marketing Health: Smoking and the Discourse of Public Health in Britain, 1945-2000
ISBN: 9780199260300 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The post war history of public health and the role of smoking within that history epitomises the tensions which surround taking health to the public. Public health history has largely concentrated on the nineteenth century sanitary period or on the years before the Second World War, often focussing on the environmental advances, or on the professional and occupational history of public health as an activity. This book has a different focus: it deals with the change in the outlook of public health post war. From a focus on services, vaccination, and dealing with health issues at the local...

Demons: Our Changing Attitudes to Alcohol, Tobacco, and Drugs
ISBN: 9780199604982 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Binge drinking, particularly in young women, has become big news. Debates about the regulation and classification of cannabis are frequently voiced. Cigarette smoking is banned in public places, and emotive public health campaigns seek to reduce its use still further. Yet there are many sides to each of these arguments, and if we look back over the last 150 years, we see massive variety in the ways societies and states have related to drugs, drink, and tobacco.
Virginia Berridge offers a much-needed long view, which helps illuminate our current concerns, and shows how three separate... Binge drinking, particularly in young women, has become big news. Debates about the regulation and classification of cannabis are frequently voiced. C...

Health and Society in Britain Since 1939
ISBN: 9780521576413 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 146 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. British health policy has undergone radical change in the postwar period and Virginia Berridge provides here a concise and accessible survey of these changes since 1939. While the rise, and recent decline, of the NHS is examined in detail, this book also looks at the changes in the role of doctors and associated medical professions, and the recent emphasis on "health promotion" and "primary care." Also considered are the role that lay people, especially women, play in providing health care, and the transition of the individual from "patient" to "consumer."
