Contesting The Space Of Disease --Conclusion --Notes --Bibliography --IndexAmong the most far-reaching effects of the modern environmental movement was the widespread acknowledgment that human beings were inescapably part of a larger ecosystem. With this book, Linda Nash gives us a wholly original and much longer history of "ecological" ideas of the body as that history unfolded in California's Central Valley. Taking us from nineteenth-century fears of miasmas and faith in wilderness cures to the recent era of chemical pollution and cancer clusters, Nash charts how Americans have connected their diseases to race and place as well as dirt and germs. In this account, the rise of germ theory and the pushing aside of an earlier environmental approach to illness constituted not a clear triumph of modern biomedicine but rather a brief period of modern amnesia. As Nash shows us, place-based accounts of illness re-emerged in the postwar decades, galvanizing environmental protest against smog and toxic chemicals. Carefully researched and richly conceptual, Inescapable Ecologies brings critically important insights to the histories of environment, culture, and public health, while offering a provocative commentary on the human relationship to the larger world.Medical geographyCaliforniaHistoryEnvironmental healthCaliforniaHistoryPublic healthCaliforniaHistory19th century.20th century.biomedicine.california.cancer clusters.causes of disease.central valley.disease history.ecologists.ecology.ecosystem.environment and culture.environmental history.environmental impact.environmental movement.environmental protest.environmentalists.germ theory.human impact.illness.natural science.natural world.nonfiction.pollution.public health.regional ecology.textbooks.toxic chemicals.wilderness.Medical geographyHistory.Environmental healthHistory.Public healthHistory.614.4/2794Nash Linda Lorraine1021171MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910784418003321Inescapable ecologies2419565UNINA03166nam 2200661Ia 450 991048439680332120200520144314.09783642162862364216286X10.1007/978-3-642-16286-2(CKB)2670000000056858(SSID)ssj0000450249(PQKBManifestationID)11293682(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000450249(PQKBWorkID)10434315(PQKB)10632645(DE-He213)978-3-642-16286-2(MiAaPQ)EBC3066097(PPN)149899475(EXLCZ)99267000000005685820101224d2010 uy 0engurnn|008mamaatxtccrThe Ricci flow in Riemannian geometry a complete proof of the differentiable 1/4-pinching sphere theorem /by Ben Andrews, Christopher Hopper1st ed. 2011.Heidelberg Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg20101 online resource (XVIII, 302 p. 13 illus., 2 illus. in color.)
