Preserving the United Nations
If the United Nations is to uphold the noble mandate set for it back at its inception in1945, especially with respect to its intended role as a global mediator of human rights, reforms in its management structure are clearly called for. In Preserving the United Nations, author Theodore H. MacDonald clearly delineates the "foundational errors" which arose at the Bretton Woods conferences and analyzes why they are impacting with greater force as time passes. He argues, moreover, that these 'foundational errors' are entirely remediable.About the Author: Professor Theodore MacDonald PhD, MD, FRSM has practiced for much of his life as a medical doctor in a range of Third World countries and has h...
Removing the Barriers to Global Health Equity
Medical research and global awareness of health inequalities continue to grow apace. Why then is global health inequality widening, with benefits disproportionally affecting the richest third? How can obstacles to more equitable healthcare be overcome? This passionately-argued book presents answers that will be essential reading for everyone interested in global health, public health, public policy and economics. Policy makers in global communities and government, political activists and all those with an interest in equality in healthcare will find stimulating, well-supported analyses of the interaction between neoliberal policies, geopolitical issues and health. Meanwhile professionals in international healthcare organisations, care agencies, and international charities will find challenging and refreshing socio-political solutions to those offered by the current neoliberal paradigm.

Health, Human Rights and the United Nations
'In the light of impending environmental catastrophe, people all over the world, in all walks of life, are becoming more aware of the pressing need to act globally. The need to base our decisions and actions less on parochial national advantage, sequestered in hate and suspicion of other nation's playing the same game of Russian roulette, have to give way to a new appreciation of the fact that our global village is indeed so very small and perilously frail. We depend upon one another as never before and, unless we insure the health and human rights of all, we shall surely each perish individually...' In "Health, Human Rights and the United Nations", Theodore H MacDonald carefully analyses th...
The New Public Health
The New Public Health has established itself as a solid textbook throughout the world.

The Adult Learner
How do you tailor education to the learning needs of adults? Do they learn differently from children? How does their life experience inform their learning processes? These were the questions at the heart of Malcolm Knowles’ pioneering theory of andragogy which transformed education theory in the 1970s. The resulting principles of a self-directed, experiential, problem-centred approach to learning have been hugely influential and are still the basis of the learning practices we use today. Understanding these principles is the cornerstone of increasing motivation and enabling adult learners to achieve. The 9th edition of The Adult Learner has been revised to include: Updates to the book to r...
