The Imperative Of Health: Public Health And The Regulated Body (PDF)
by Deborah LuptonIn this reappraisal of public health and health promotion in contemporary societies, Deborah Lupton explores public health and health promotion using contemporary sociocultural and political theory, particularly that building on Foucault's writings on subjectivity, embodiment and power relations. The author examines the implications of the new social theories for the study of health promotion and health communication to analyze the symbolic nature of public health practices, and explores their underlying meanings and assumptions.

Regulating Bodies: Essays In Medical Sociology
by Bryan S. TurnerRegulating Bodies provides a framework for the development of a new sub-field, namely the development of the body. Through an examination of various philosophical traditions (phenomenology, philosophical anthropology, structuralism and postmodernism) the author shows how the human body has been ignored or neglected by mainstream social theory. In integrating these different traditions, Turner demonstrates how the absent body has impoverished, not only the sociology of health and illness but the very foundations of sociology itself. In providing a general account of the problem of the body in modern society, this study, building on Turner's previous related works The Body and Society (1984) and Medical Power and Social Knowledge (1987), attempts to solve many of the existing epistemological and theoretical difficulties in social theories of the body. Turner has provided a major synthesis of his earlier work on the sociology of the body, established the idea of embodiment as fundamental to the sociology of health and illness, and pointed the way forward to new areas of cultural analysis.

Broken Men: Shell Shock, Treatment And Recovery In Britain, 1914-1930 (PDF)
by Fiona ReidShell shock achieved a very high political profile in the years 1919-1922. Publications ranging from John Bull to the Morning Post insisted that shell-shocked men should be treated with respect, and the Minister for Health announced that the government was committed to protecting shell-shocked men from the stigma of lunacy. Yet at the same time, many mentally-wounded veterans were struggling with a pension system which was failing to give them security. It is this conflict between the political rhetoric and the lived experience of many wounded veterans that explains why the government was unable to dispel the negative wartime assessment of official shell-shock treatment. There was also a real conflict between the government's wish to forget shell shock whilst memorialising the war and remembering the war dead. As a result of these contradictions, shell shock was not forgotten, on the contrary, the shell-shocked soldier quickly grew to symbolise the confusions and inconsistencies of the Great War.

Cultural Locations Of Disability
by Sharon L. Snyder David T. MitchellIn Cultural Locations of Disability, Sharon L. Snyder and David T. Mitchell trace how disabled people came to be viewed as biologically deviant. The eugenics era pioneered techniques that managed "defectives" through the application of therapies, invasive case histories, and acute surveillance techniques, turning disabled persons into subjects for a readily available research pool. In its pursuit of normalization, eugenics implemented disability regulations that included charity systems, marriage laws, sterilization, institutionalization, and even extermination. Enacted in enclosed disability locations, these practices ultimately resulted in expectations of segregation from the mainstream, leaving today's disability politics to focus on reintegration, visibility, inclusion, and the right of meaningful public participation. Snyder and Mitchell reveal cracks in the social production of human variation as aberrancy. From our modern obsessions with tidiness and cleanliness to our desire to attain perfect bodies, notions of disabilities as examples of human insufficiency proliferate. These disability practices infuse more general modes of social obedience at work today. Consequently, this important study explains how disabled people are instrumental to charting the passage from a disciplinary society to one based upon regulation of the self.
Visual pathway (large print)
by Rnib BookshareThis image shows the pathway of the optic nerves from the eyes to the brain. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. It is shown as a top-down (plan) view of a horizontal cross section through the eyes and brain (eyes on the left hand side, and back of head on the right hand side). It reads from left to right. The diagram is split into 5 vertical sections labelled above, and each section is separated by vertical dotted lines. The first section on the left is labelled Eyes, and below this are two circles representing eyes, with the left eye below the right eye. The sections after this are all within the brain. The second section Optic nerve shows a solid line extending from the left of each eye and a dashed line extending from the right of each eye. These are the optic nerves and labels next to the lines explain which side of the eye each optic nerve extends from. The next section Optic chiasm shows two of the optic nerves crossing. The left optic nerve from the right eye crosses the right optic nerve from the left eye. The next section Lateral geniculate bodies shows two circles. The lower one is on the left side of the brain, and the upper one is on the right side of the brain. The two solid lines from each eye meet at the lower circle and the two dashed lines meet at the upper circle. The final section Visual cortex shows the back of the brain, with the two hemispheres left and right. The dashed line from the right Lateral geniculate body goes to the right hemisphere and the solid line from the left Lateral geniculate body goes to the left hemisphere. This means that the right side of each eye is represented in the right hand side of the brain and the left side of each eye is represented in the left side of the brain.

Ghost Boy: The Miraculous Escape Of A Misdiagnosed Boy Trapped Inside His Own Body
by Martin Pistorius Megan Lloyd DaviesIn January 1988, aged twelve, Martin Pistorius fell inexplicably sick. First he lost his voice and stopped eating; then he slept constantly and shunned human contact. Doctors were mystified. Within eighteen months he was mute and wheelchair-bound. Martin's parents were told that an unknown degenerative disease had left him with the mind of a baby and he probably had less than two years to live. Martin went on to be cared for at centres for severely disabled children, a shell of the bright, vivacious boy he had once been. What no-one knew is that while Martin's body remained unresponsive his mind slowly woke up, yet he could tell no-one; he was a prisoner inside a broken body. Then, in 1998, when Martin was twenty-three years old, an aromatherapy masseuse began treating him and sensed some part of him was alert. Experts were dismissive, but his parents persevered and soon realised their son was as intelligent as he'd always been. With no memory of the time before his illness, Martin was a man-child reborn in a world he didn't know. He was still in a wheelchair and unable to speak, but he was brilliantly adept at computer technology. Since then, and against all odds, he has fallen in love, married and set up a design business which he runs from his home in Essex. Ghost Boyis an incredible, deeply moving story of recovery and the power of love. Through Martin's story we can know what it is like to be here and yet not here - unable to communicate yet feeling and understanding everything. Martin's emergence from his darkness enables us to celebrate the human spirit and is a wake-up call to cherish our own lives.
Just Health: Meeting Health Needs Fairly (PDF)
by Norman DanielsIn this book by the award-winning author of Just Healthcare, Norman Daniels develops a comprehensive theory of justice for health that answers three key questions: what is the special moral importance of health? When are health inequalities unjust? How can we meet health needs fairly when we cannot meet them all? Daniels' theory has implications for national and global health policy: can we meet health needs fairly in ageing societies? Or protect health in the workplace while respecting individual liberty? Or meet professional obligations and obligations of justice without conflict? When is an effort to reduce health disparities, or to set priorities in realising a human right to health, fair? What do richer, healthier societies owe poorer, sicker societies? Just Health: Meeting Health Needs Fairly explores the many ways that social justice is good for the health of populations in developed and developing countries.

Sleep, Arousal, and Performance: a Tribute to Bob Wilkinson (PDF)
by Robert T Wilkinson Roger J Broughton Robert D OgilvieA scientific exploration of the quaint old notion that people's productivity and health are related to whether or not they got a good night's sleep. The 19 papers, from a May 1990 conference in Cambridge (marking the retirement of a pioneer researcher in the field) consider theoretical issues; physiology and information processing; performance, sleep deprivation, and mapping; clinical applications; and a synthesis. Most of the contributors are from psychology. (c) by Book News, Inc. , Portland, OR.
