Mark Twain is often pictured as a severe critic of religious piety, shaking his fist at God and mocking the devout. Such a view, however, is only partly correct. It ignores the social realities of Twain's major period as a writer and his own spiritual interests: his participation in church activities, his socially progressive agenda, his reliance on religious themes in his major works, and his friendships with clergymen, especially his pastor and best friend, Joe Twichell.

Following on from their previous books, the authors continue their exploration of the geography of early mortality from age-related chronic conditions, of risk behaviors and their health outcomes, and of infant and child mortality, all due to rigid hierarchy. They divide the 50 states into those that gave their electoral college votes to Trump and those that gave theirs to Clinton in the 2016 presidential election and compare the two sets for socioeconomic and public health profiles. They deliberately apply only simple standard statistical methods in the public health analyses: t-test, Mann-Whitney test, bivariate regression, and backward stepwise multivariate regression. The book assumes familiarity with basic statistics. The authors argue that theunequal power relations that result in eroding public health in the nation and, in particular, in the Trump-voting states, largely cascade from the collapse of American industry, and they analyze the Cold War roots of that collapse. In two largely independent chapters on economics, they explore both the suppression of countervailing forces, such as organized labor, and the diversion of technical resources to the military as essential foundations to the population-level suffering that expressed itself in the 2016 presidential election. This interdisciplinary book has several primary audiences: creators of public policies, such as legislators and governmental staff, public health professionals and social epidemiologists, economists, labor union professionals, civil rights advocates, political scientists, historians, and students of these disciplines from public health through the social sciences. 410 0$aRoutledge international studies in health economics. 606 $aMedical care$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States 606 $aPublic health$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States 606 $aHealth status indicators$zUnited States 615 0$aMedical care$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aPublic health$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aHealth status indicators 676 $a362.10973 700 $aWallace$b Deborah$0788349 702 $aWallace$b Rodrick 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910765277003321 996 $aPolitics, hierarchy, and public health$92968025 997 $aUNINA
