'Captain of all these men of death'
Tuberculosis mortality in the United States and in Britain was declining in the late nineteenth century but rising in Ireland. Only in the first decade of the twentieth century did mortality from tuberculosis begin to fall and even then it remained higher in Ireland than in Britain and many other European nations throughout the first half of the twentieth century. Why Ireland’s pattern of tuberculosis mortality was different is the subject of this book. Several controversies in the history of tuberculosis epidemics are addressed; the degree to which poverty and standard of living played a part in the tuberculosis decline, the role of public health, urbanisation and gender. Because tuberculosis was comparatively higher in Ireland it remained a much more potent political issue well into the twentieth century and the interaction between Ireland’s politics and the question of tuberculosis is discussed.
Many Wests
What does it mean to live in the West today? Do people tend to identify with states, with regions, or with the larger West? This book examines the development of regional identity in the American West, demonstrating that it is a regionally diverse entity made up of many different wests--Great Plains, Southwest, Rocky Mountains, and more--in which American regionalism finds its fullest expression. These fourteen original essays tell how a sense of place emerged among residents of various regions and how a sense of those places was developed by people outside of them. Wrobel and Steiner first offer a compelling overview of the West's regional nature; then thirteen other rising or renowned scho...

Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis is a disease which once was spoken of in fearful whispers, but with improvements in standards of public health and hygiene this dreadful disease seemed largely to have disappeared from the consciousness of the developed world. However, in 1993, the World Health Organization declared tuberculosis a global health emergency, pointing out that there are now more cases of tuberculosis in the world than at any time in history and that 30 million will die of the disease in the next ten years. The resurgence of the diesease is by no means confined to the Third World, with its more problematic public health problems of dense populations in cities and in the refugee camps; indeed most of ...
