"Leveraging Culture to Address Health Inequalities: Examples from Native Communities is the summary of a workshop convened in November 2012 by the Roundtable on the Promotion of Health Equity and the Elimination of Health Disparities of the Institute of Medicine. The workshop brought together more than 100 health care providers, policy makers, program administrators, researchers, and Native advocates to discuss the sizable health inequities affecting Native American, Alaska Native, First Nation, and Pacific Islander populations and the potential role of culture in helping to reduce those inequities. This report summarizes the presentations and discussion of the workshop and includes case studies that examine programs aimed at diabetes prevention and management and cancer prevention and treatment programs. In Native American tradition, the medicine wheel encompasses four different components of health: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Health and well-being require balance within and among all four components. Thus, whether someone remains healthy depends as much on what happens around that person as on what happens within. Leveraging Culture to Address Health Inequalities addresses the broad role of culture in contributing to and ameliorating health inequities"--

On the basis of an examination of the colonial mercury and silver production processes and related labor systems, Mercury, Mining, and Empire explores the effects of mercury pollution in colonial Huancavelica, Peru, and Potosí, in present-day Bolivia. The book presents a multifaceted and interwoven tale of what colonial exploitation of indigenous peoples and resources left in its wake. It is a socio-ecological history that explores the toxic interrelationships between mercury and silver production, urban environments, and the people who lived and worked in them. Nicholas A. Robins tells the

This comprehensive illustrated volume provides a new approach for understanding developmental defects of the axial skeleton, and furnishes support for the interpretation of developmental field defects in the study of prehistoric and contemporary populations/ Using data from clinical medicine, genetics, embryology and physical anthropology, Ethne Barnes presents a morphogenetic explanation for describing, deciphering, and classifying disturbances in normal skeletal development. This allows new interpretations of previously studied skeletal collections, such as the prehistoric Tewa of the Pajarito Plateau. Application of this newly developed morphogenetic approach allows researchers to describe the occurrence and risk of developmental defects in past populations, to deciphering underlying genetic relationships to help understand the development of the variations of human skeletal defects, and to provide clues to cultural and environmental factors affecting the development of defects. Developmental defects of the Axial Skeleton Paleopathology is an important resource for physical anthropologists, paleopathologists, physicians concerned with skeletal biology, orthopedists, and medical libraries. It should stimulate additional applications of the methodology and create new avenues for further research possibilities.
