Yet, while many health, environmental and social challenges are discussed globally in terms of imbalances in biological, social and ecological systems, strategies for addressing modern excesses and deficiencies have focused almost exclusively on the agency of the individual. Balancing the Self explores the diverse ways in which balanced and unbalanced selfhoods have been subject to construction, intervention and challenge across the long twentieth century. Through original chapters on subjects as varied as obesity control, fatigue and the regulation of work, and the physiology of exploration in extreme conditions, the volume analyses how concepts of balance and rhetorics of empowerment and responsibility have historically been used for a variety of purposes, by a diversity of political and social agencies. Historicising present-day concerns, as well as uncovering the previously hidden interests of the past, this volume?s wide-ranging discussions of health governance, subjectivity and balance will be of interest to historians of medicine, sociologists, social policy analysts, and social and political historians alike. 410 0$aSocial histories of medicine. 606 $aMedical policy$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aMedical care$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aSelf-care, Health$zGreat Britain 606 $aHistory Of Medicine$2bicssc 606 $aMEDICAL / History$2bisach 610 $abalance 610 $aselfhood 610 $amedicine 610 $apolitics 610 $ahealth governance 615 0$aMedical policy$xHistory 615 0$aMedical care$xHistory 615 0$aSelf-care, Health 615 7$aHistory Of Medicine 615 7$aMEDICAL / History 676 $a362.1964620094109045 700 $aJackson$b Mark$4edt$0914205 702 $aMoore$b Martin D. 702 $aJackson$b Mark 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910404144903321 996 $aBalancing the self$93078838 997 $aUNINA
