"Public health is a term much used in the media, by health professionals, and by activists. At the national or the local level there are ministries or departments of public health, whilst international agencies such as the World Health Organisation promote public health policies, and regional organisations such as the European Union have public health funding and policies. But what do we mean when we speak about 'public health'? In this Very Short Introduction Virginia Berridge explores the areas which fall under the remit of public health, and explains how the individual histories of different countries have come to cause great differences in the perception of the role and responsibilities of public health organisations." -- Source other than Library of Congress.

"In this new edition Samir Ikasha reviews the main themes of contemporary philosophy of science. Beginning with a brief account of the history of modern science, he asks whether there is a discernible pattern to the way scientific ideas change over time. He examines scientific inference, scientific explanation, and the debate between realist and anti-realist views of science."--

In recent years, global migration has transformed in terms of its numbers and reach, its political significance, and its impact. The rising rates of international migration have been matched by growing public and media interest around the world. Today, the political and media attention on migration and greater public interest and concern feed into an international debate that is all too often poorly informed and one-sided. This Very Short Introduction looks at the phenomenon of international human migration - both legal and illegal - and offers an objective stance on the topic, and its benefits and challenges. Khalid Koser reveals the opportunities migration presents that must be taken advantage of in the current economic climate, and debunks common myths to demonstrate that society, as we now know it, cannot function without migrants. Using interviews with migrants from around the world, Koser presents the human side of issues such as asylum, human trafficking, migrant smuggling, and the international labour force, inviting readers to come to their own conclusions on the international migration situation today.

The issues raised by todays global and multicultural societies are complex, and it is urgent for the research community to help improve our understanding of the current problems. Digitization and globalization have changed our communication systems in terms of time, space and social behaviour; they have resulted in a transformation of functions as well as management practices and the market by adding new types of transnational companies. The context of freedom of expression has shifted.In 2009, Nordicom published Freedom of Speech Abridged? Cultural, legal and philosophical challenges, and a few years later Freedom of Expression Revisited. Citizenship and journalism in the digital era. The current publication may be seen as a follow-up to these earlier titles. It is based on research in the Nordic countries, but many of the studies are global in nature and the result of collaborations between researchers from many parts of the world. It is hoped that this collection will contribute to knowledge development in the field as well as to global and regional discussions about freedom of expression, press freedom, and communication rights in contemporary societies.Bron : http://nordicom.gu.se

Provided by publisher : "The 2014 Ebola epidemic demonstrated the power of pandemics and their ability not only to destroy lives locally but also to capture the imagination and terrify the world. Christian W. McMillen provides a concise yet comprehensive account of pandemics throughout human history, illustrating how pandemic disease has shaped history and, at the same time, social behavior has influenced pandemic disease. Extremely interesting from a medical standpoint, the study of pandemics also provides unexpected, broader insights into culture and politics. This Very Short Introduction describes history’s major pandemics - plague, tuberculosis, malaria, smallpox, cholera, influenza, and HIV/AIDS - highlighting how each disease’s biological characteristics affected its pandemic development. McMillen discusses state responses to pandemics, such as quarantine, isolation, travel restrictions, and other forms of social control, and pays special attention to the rise of public health and the explosion of medical research in the wake of pandemics, especially as the germ theory of disease emerged in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Today, medicine is able to control all of these diseases, yet some of them are still devastating in much of the developing world. By assessing the relationship between poverty and disease and the geography of epidemics, McMillen offers an outspoken and thought-provoking point of view on the necessity for global governments to learn from past experiences and proactively cooperate to prevent any future epidemic"

Hoewel globalisering de voorbije dertig jaar alomtegenwoordig was in het maatschappelijk debat, is de term steeds meer een vaag containerbegrip geworden. De meest uiteenlopende vraagstukken worden eraan verbonden, gaande van financiële crisissen en klimaatacties tot migratie en internationaal terrorisme. Vaak wordt globalisering daarbij begrepen of ervaren als een voldongen feit: een ongrijpbaar, onzichtbaar proces dat zich boven onze hoofden afspeelt. De hermaakbare wereld? toont hoe verlammend die beeldvorming is en reikt lezers een kritische, constructieve definitie aan. Wie dit boek leest, krijgt een nieuwe kijk op debatten rond globalisering. Zo biedt het zuurstof voor maatschappelijke veranderingen.Deze essaybundel stelt prangende vragen over globalisering, geïllustreerd aan de hand van specifieke cases. Het boek vormt een kritisch pleidooi voor verandering en wil ertoe bijdragen dat globalisering terug op de politieke agenda wordt geplaatst.Met bijdragen over o.a. mensenrechten, de financiële sector, global governance, de rol van de EU in de wereld, toegang tot essentiële geneesmiddelen en migratie, van de hand van onder meer: Eva Brems, Ben Derudder, Dries Lesage, Jan Orbie, Ferdi de Ville, Sigrid Sterckx en Eric Vanhaute.
