Noncommunicable Diseases A Compendium

Noncommunicable Diseases: A Compendium introduces readers to noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) – what they are their burden their determinants and how they can be prevented and controlled. Focusing on cardiovascular disease diabetes cancer and chronic respiratory disease and their five shared main risk factors (tobacco use harmful use of alcohol unhealthy diet physical inactivity and air pollution) as defined by the United Nations this book provides a synopsis of one of the world’s biggest challenges of the 21st century. NCDs prematurely claim the lives of millions of people across the world every year with untold suffering to hundreds of millions more trapping many people in poverty and curtailing economic growth and sustainable development. While resources between and within countries largely differ the key principles of surveillance prevention and management apply to all countries as does the need to focus resources on the most cost-effective and affordable interventions and the need for strong political will sufficient resources and sustained and broad partnerships. This compendium consists of 59 short and accessible chapters in six sections: (i) describing and measuring the burden and impact of NCDs; (ii) the burden epidemiology and priority interventions for individual NCDs; (iii) social determinants and risk factors for NCDs and priority interventions; (iv) global policy; (v) cross-cutting issues; and (vi) stakeholder action. Drawing on the expertise of a large and diverse team of internationally renowned policy and academic experts the book describes the key epidemiologic features of NCDs and evidence-based interventions in a concise manner that will be useful for policymakers across all parts of society as well as for public health and clinical practitioners.

Historical Networks in the Book Trade

Historical Networks in the Book Trade

The book trade historically tended to operate in a spirit of co-operation as well as competition. Networks between printers publishers booksellers and related trades existed at local regional national and international levels and were a vital part of the business of books for several centuries. This collection of essays examines many aspects of the history of book-trade networks in response to the recent ‘spatial turn’ in history and other disciplines. Contributors come from various backgrounds including history sociology business studies and English literature. The essays in Part One introduce the relevance to book-trade history of network theory and techniques while Part Two is a series of case studies ranging chronologically from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century. Topics include the movement of early medieval manuscript books the publication of Shakespeare the distribution of seventeenth-century political pamphlets in Utrecht and Exeter book-trade networks before 1750 in the English East Midlands the itinerant book trade in northern France in the late eighteenth century how an Australian newspaper helped to create the Scottish public sphere the networks of the Belgian publisher Murquardt and transatlantic radical book-trade networks in the early twentieth century. | Historical Networks in the Book Trade

Sacred Waters A Cross-Cultural Compendium of Hallowed Springs and Holy Wells

Sacred Waters A Cross-Cultural Compendium of Hallowed Springs and Holy Wells

Describing sacred waters and their associated traditions in over thirty countries and across multiple time periods this book identifies patterns in panhuman hydrolatry. Supplying life’s most basic daily need freshwater sources were likely the earliest sacred sites and the first protected and contested resource. Guarded by taboos rites and supermundane forces freshwater sources have also been considered thresholds to otherworlds. Often associated also with venerated stones trees and healing flora sacred water sources are sites of biocultural diversity. Addressing themes that will shape future water research this volume examines cultural perceptions of water’s sacrality that can be employed to foster resilient human–environmental relationships in the growing water crises of the twenty-first century. The work combines perspectives from anthropology archaeology classics folklore geography geology history literature and religious studies. | Sacred Waters A Cross-Cultural Compendium of Hallowed Springs and Holy Wells

Deconstructing the Talmud The Absolute Book

Deconstructing the Talmud The Absolute Book

This monograph uses deconstruction—a philosophical movement originated by Jacques Derrida—to read the most authoritative book in Judaism: the Talmud. Examining deconstruction in comparison with Kant’s and Hegel’s philosophies the volume argues that the movement opens an innovative debate on Jewish Law. First the monograph interprets deconstruction within the major streams of continental philosophy; then it criticizes many aspects of Foucault’s and Agamben’s philosophy rejecting their notion of law. On these premises the research delivers a close examination of many fundamental aspects of the Talmud. Consequently it provides a short history of Rabbinic literature a history of the dissemination of the Talmud from Babylon to Northern France and an analysis of Talmudic vocabulary from a deconstructive perspective. Each key concept of the Talmud is analysed according to the deconstructive dialectics between orality and writing. Closing with a comparison between the Talmud and Derrida’s most enigmatic text Glas the study argues that deconstruction dismantles the traditional notion of the Talmud to outline a new approach to Jewish Law. Reading the Talmud through deconstruction this new angle makes the volume an essential resource for students and scholars interested in Jewish studies continental philosophy and the Middle East. | Deconstructing the Talmud The Absolute Book
