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. 606 $aMedical geography$zCalifornia$xHistory 606 $aEnvironmental health$zCalifornia$xHistory 606 $aPublic health$zCalifornia$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMedical geography$xHistory. 615 0$aEnvironmental health$xHistory. 615 0$aPublic health$xHistory. 676 $a614.4/2794 700 $aNash$b Linda Lorraine$01021171 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457616103321 996 $aInescapable ecologies$92419565 997 $aUNINA
