Clássicos em Doença de Chagas
Este admirável volume reuniu especialistas de diversos campos do conhecimento para comentar a importância de 15 artigos clássicos associados à descoberta científica de Carlos Chagas, que completou cem anos em 2009. A obra indica novas diretrizes e os desafios que ainda cercam a doença na atualidade. Organizado por pesquisadoras do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz (IOC/Fiocruz) e da Casa de Oswaldo Cruz (COC/Fiocruz), pela coordenadora de eventos da Fiocruz e por um ex-vice-presidente de pesquisa da instituição, que juntos formaram uma rede para definir quais seriam os principais artigos clássicos que demarcaram o avanço das pesquisas sobre doença de Chagas, o livro contextualiza-os em relação ao centenário e “...assim surge..., coletivo, histórico e atual”, nas palavras de uma das organizadoras.
Manguinhos do sonho à vida
Manguinhos do Sonho à Vida retrata as origens e a trajetória do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz nas quatro primeiras décadas do século XX. Compõe-se de três ensaios que têm em comum o interesse pela assimilação do pasteurianismo na prática científica, na saúde pública e na arquitetura hospitalar. O primeiro aborda a história político-administrativa e o desenvolvimento da pesquisa, da produção e do ensino em Manguinhos. O segundo trata do complexo arquitetônico, remetendo-o ao contexto do ecletismo e das transformações urbanas. O último ensaio recupera a figura e a obra do arquiteto de Manguinhos, enfatizando especialmente seus projetos de caráter médico-sanitário.
Médicos do Sertão
O processo de institucionalização da medicina goiana no período de 1947 a 1960 é o tema central do livro, que integra a coleção História e Saúde da Editora Fiocruz. Fruto da tese de doutorado da autora no Programa de Pós-Graduação em História das Ciências e da Saúde da Casa de Oswaldo Cruz, o título evidencia como um conjunto de jovens médicos construiu em Goiás - estado então distante dos mais conceituados centros médicos e científicos do Brasil do século XX - uma comunidade médica de pesquisa e ensino capaz de dialogar com seus pares, nacional e internacionalmente. Um dos resultados desse processo foi, como mostra a pesquisadora, o surgimento de diversas instituições e organizações médicas. Tamara Rangel Vieira aborda ainda a questão das desigualdades regionais e mostra como a atuação dos profissionais de saúde nas endemias típicas do Brasil Central influenciaram diretamente o processo de institucionalização da medicina goiana.
Risk management as a strategy for the preservation of cultural heritage in sciences and health
This publication aims to share the work process and main results of the pilot cycle in the implementation of risk management for the cultural heritage of the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz). The initiative was coordinated by Casa de Oswaldo Cruz (COC) through an interdisciplinary Working Group and enjoyed the collaboration of other technical and scientific units of the institution, especially the Oswaldo Cruz Institute (IOC) and the Institute of Scientific and Technological Communication and Information in Health (ICICT). Since the preventive approach is still not a consolidated reality in the Brazilian context, our objective in publishing this book is to contribute to the dissemination of...

The Oxford Handbook of the History of Eugenics
Eugenic thought and practice swept the world from the late nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century in a remarkable transnational phenomenon. Eugenics informed social and scientific policy across the political spectrum, from liberal welfare measures in emerging social-democratic states to feminist ambitions for birth control, from public health campaigns to totalitarian dreams of the "perfectibility of man." This book dispels for uninitiated readers the automatic and apparently exclusive link between eugenics and the Holocaust. It is the first world history of eugenics and an indispensable core text for both teaching and research. Eugenics has accumulated generations of interest as experts at...
Making Sense of Health, Disease, and the Environment in Cross-Cultural History: The Arabic-Islamic World, China, Europe, and North America
This book has been defined around three important issues: the first sheds light on how people, in various philosophical, religious, and political contexts, understand the natural environment, and how the relationship between the environment and the body is perceived; the second focuses on the perceptions that a particular natural environment is good or bad for human health and examines the reasons behind such characterizations ; the third examines the promotion, in history, of specific practices to take advantage of the health benefits, or avoid the harm, caused by certain environments and also efforts made to change environments supposed to be harmful to human health. The feeling and/or the...
