Nothing To Do With Skin: The Fundamentals of Epidemiology and Population Health Research
Ever wonder how we know what we know? Especially in medical research? How do we know that some diets are probably more healthful than others? How do we know that smoking is likely to cause lung cancer? You might be surprised to learn that it's not all about scientists doing experiments in labs. Much of what we know comes from population sciences. And epidemiology is the mother of all population health sciences! Nothing To Do With Skin is an introduction to the science of population epidemiology, written by a well known, award winning, senior epidemiologist. The book is written for the absolute beginner, and includes a description of study designs, some of the common biases encountered, how t...
Pandemics, Public Health, and the Regulation of Borders
This book examines how the COVID-19 pandemic has engendered a new and challenging environment in which borders drawn around people, places, and social structures have hardened and new ones have emerged. Over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, borders closed or became unwelcoming at the international, national, sub-national, and local levels. Debate persists as to whether those countries and territories that tightly managed their borders, like New Zealand, Australia, or Hong Kong, got it ‘right’ compared to those that did not. Without doubt, a majority of those who suffered and died throughout the pandemic have been those from vulnerable populations. Yet on the other hand, efforts taken...

In this book, independent experts analyze the performance of Justin Trudeau’s years in power in over 25 important areas of government policy.

Environmental Ethics and Medical Reproduction
In Environmental Ethics and Medical Reproduction, Dr. Cristina Richie uses the term "medicalized reproduction" (MR) to describe the impact of technology on human reproduction, including from pre-conception gamete retrieval, in-vitro fertilization (IVF), and birthing suites. Unlike other areas of high-carbon health care, such as organ transplantation or chemotherapy, medicalized reproduction does not treat, cure, or prevent disease. It is supported by an economized medical industry, and as such, is open for ethical scrutiny. This book considers how technology has fundamentally changed the discussion on biomedical ethics, environmental ethics, and reproductive ethics.
The Philosopher's Tome: 103 Ancient Greek and Roman Teachings for Contemporary Life
The ancients knew how to make us mentally tough and resilient. What did Epictetus mean by “If you want to improve, be content to be thought foolish and stupid"? What can we learn from this statement from Epicurus: “He who has peace of mind disturbs neither himself nor another"? Why did Xenophon urge us to "be eager, not intimidated” in the face of danger? Centuries ago, some of the wisest people who have ever lived wrote down invaluable pieces of advice that many of us today, so burdened with the stresses and chaos of modern life, desperately need to hear. What advice is out there for a teen being bullied on social media? Or for a middle-aged office worker struggling with work-life bal...
