AIDS and the Public Debate.

8vo. [8], 216 pp. Figs., index. Printed hardcover. Letter from Caroline Hannaway and Victoria A. Harden, presenting medical historian Russell C. Maulitz with a complimentary copy of the work. Very good. ISBN: 9051991908 "AIDS has had a history of little more than a decade, but its impact on society has been so significant and its effects so diverse that it is not too early to begin to analyze the ways in which this disease has shaped our world and our reactions to it. Indeed, this is not the first book to attempt such an analysis. The unique feature of this volume, and the conference on which it is based, is that it brings together two very different and complementary perspectives. Some of the contributions are by physicians and scientists who have been and still are participating in AIDS research and the making of AIDS policy. For example, former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop, Anthony S. Fauci of the National Institutes of Health, and James W. Curran of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provide personal accounts of these developments. Other contributions are from historians and social scientists, who reflect on their subjects from a more impersonal viewpoint, using the analytical tools of their crafts." â" Introduction. Hannaway is the current Delegate for the American Association for the History of Medicine. Harden "retired in January 2006 as Director of the Office of NIH History and the Stetten Museum at the National Institutes of Health, an office she created during the 1986-87 observance of the NIH centennial" â" NIH. Parascandola was the Historian for the Public Health Service. A quite catholic array of essays devoted to the AIDS crisis and public health. Artikel-Nr. RR1515
