Abstract

The French experience in Algeria's war of independence provides astonishing relevance to the U.S. occupation in Iraq and the war on terrorism. In this volume, originally published in 1963, David Galula recounts his experiences in Algeria at the height of the rebellion and presents his theories on counterinsurgency and pacification.

Abstract

"From yellow fever to smallpox to polio to AIDS to COVID-19, epidemics have prompted Americans to make choices and answer questions about their basic values and their laws. In five concise chapters, historian John Fabian Witt traces the legal history of epidemics, showing how infectious disease has both shaped, and been shaped by, the law. Arguing that throughout American history legal approaches to public health have been liberal for some communities and authoritarian for others, Witt shows us how history's answers to the major questions brought up by previous epidemics help shape our answers today: What is the relationship between individual liberty and the common good? What is the role of the federal government, and what is the role of the states? Will long-standing traditions of government and law give way to the social imperatives of an epidemic? Will we let the inequities of our mixed tradition continue?"--Amazon

Abstract

I N F E C T I O U S D I S E A S E® Vassil St. Georgiev, Series Editor National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, NIH Volume 2: Impact on Global Health Vassil St. Georgiev, PhD with Foreword by Antony S. Fauci, MD National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institutes of Health, DHHS, Bethesda, MD For more than 50 years, the mission of the national Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID)has been to conduct and support basic and applied research to better understand, treat, and prevent infectious, immunologic, and allergic diseases with the ultimate goal of improving the health of individuals in the United States and around the world. As part of its mission to foster biomedical research and to reduce the burden of human disease, NIAID is committed to encouraging the accelerated translation of biomedical discoveries into effective clinical care and public throughout the world. In pursuit of this goal and its disease-specific scientific objectives, NIAID seeks to broaden its global impact by increasing scientific opportunities and collaborations involving scientists and institutions outside the United States. The ever increasing efforts of NIAID to combat the worldwide HIV/AIDS, malaria, as well as the increasing numbers of humans infected by highly virulent strains of avian influenza in Asia and elsewhere. NIAID is at the forefront of efforts to address these and other international health challenges by supporting programs in approximately 90 countries and to have dramatically increased spending on international activities in the past decade in a clear strategy to not only devote more resources within the United States to the study of diseases with global health importance, but also to develop the capacity for advanced research within resource-poor nations. Extensive and in-depth, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, NIH: Volume 2, Impact on Global Health is a valuable and comprehensive guide providing up-to-date accounts on the state of specific research endeavors in the areas of microbiology and infectious diseases (other than AIDS), HIV/AIDS, allergy, immunology, and transplantation, covering the research portfolios of the NIAID’s extramural divisions of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, AIDS, and Allergy, Immunology and Transplantation. This volume comprises documents of the United States Government and other research information that is in the public domain. Nevertheless, this volume is not an official U.S. Government publication. Features Includes detailed up-to-date overviews of specific research endeavors in microbiology and infectious diseases (other than HIV/AID), HIV/AIDS, allergy, immunology, and transplantation.
