Epidemics Resulting From Wars
Friedrich Prinzing was born in Uln in 1859 and grew up the son of a pastry chef. He ended up leaving to study medicine in Vienna, Munich, Berlin, and T bingen from 1877 to 1883, whereafter he earned his doctorate in medicine and returned to set up practice in his hometown of Ulm. In addition to practicing practical medicine, Prinzing also had a fascination with the relationships between socioeconomic problems and their correlation to medical issues in the population. He published many works relating to the topic, including the first modern overview of medical statistics: "The Handbook of Medical Statistics" in 1906. "Epidemics Resulting From Wars" is another of his published works in which he gives an account of wars around the world, the size of the armies who fought them, and the correlation between these and the resulting illnesses which arose from them directly such as typhus fever, dysentery, and typhoid.
The Surplus Woman
The first German women’s movement embraced the belief in a demographic surplus of unwed women, known as the Frauenüberschuß, as a central leitmotif in the campaign for reform. Proponents of the female surplus held that the advances of industry and urbanization had upset traditional marriage patterns and left too many bourgeois women without a husband. This book explores the ways in which the realms of literature, sexology, demography, socialism, and female activism addressed the perceived plight of unwed women. Case studies of reformers, including Lily Braun, Ruth Bré, Elisabeth Gnauck-Kühne, Helene Lange, Alice Salomon, Helene Stöcker, and Clara Zetkin, demonstrate the expansive influence of the discourse surrounding a female surfeit. By combining the approaches of cultural, social, and gender history, The Surplus Woman provides the first sustained analysis of the ways in which imperial Germans conceptualized anxiety about female marital status as both a product and a reflection of changing times.
Epidemics Resulting from Wars
In "Epidemics Resulting from Wars," Friedrich Prinzing meticulously explores the profound interplay between warfare and the outbreak of infectious diseases throughout history. Utilizing a blend of historical analysis and epidemiological insights, Prinzing weaves a narrative that highlights how the chaos of war not only devastates landscapes and societies but also catalyzes the conditions for epidemic crises. His detailed examination reveals the often-overlooked correlation between military mobilization, troop movements, and the subsequent spread of pathogens, presenting a clarion call for understanding public health within the geopolitical landscape. The book's rigorous scholarship is comple...
Women's Bodies
What has been the source of women's oppression by men? Shorter argues that women were victimized by their own bodies. Exploring five centuries of medical records and folklore from Europe and the US, he shows how pregnancy, childbirth, and gynecological disease have kept women in positions of social
The Nazi War on Cancer
A troubling account of how good science can come from an evil regime Collaboration in the Holocaust. Murderous and torturous medical experiments. The "euthanasia" of hundreds of thousands of people with mental or physical disabilities. Widespread sterilization of "the unfit." Nazi doctors committed these and countless other atrocities as part of Hitler's warped quest to create a German master race. Robert Proctor recently made the explosive discovery, however, that Nazi Germany was also decades ahead of other countries in promoting health reforms that we today regard as progressive and socially responsible. Most startling, Nazi scientists were the first to definitively link lung cancer and c...
Divide and Conquer
Examines one of the most significant and characteristic features of modern medicine - specialization - in historical and comparative context. This title traces the origins of modern medical specialization to 1830s Paris and examines its spread to Germany, Britain, and the US.
A Socialist Realist History?
How did the Eastern European and Soviet states write their respective histories of art and architecture during 1940s–1960s? The articles address both the Stalinist period and the Khrushchev Thaw, when the Marxist-Leninist discourse on art history was "invented" and refined. Although this discourse was inevitably "Sovietized" in a process dictated from Moscow, a variety of distinct interpretations emerged from across the Soviet bloc in the light of local traditions, cultural politics and decisions of individual authors. Even if the new "official" discourse often left space open for national concerns, it also gave rise to a countermovement in response to the aggressive ideologization of art and the preeminence assigned to (Socialist) Realist aesthetics.
