It traces the evolving ideas about these waters, from European contact to the present, in order to shed new light on human-environment relations in the modern world. Our relation to water is among the most urgent of global issues, as increasing scarcity and pollution threaten food shortages, deteriorating public health, and the collapse of aquatic ecosystems. Drawing on ideas from political ecology, the author brings together an analysis of the shifts in the concept of water and a material history of environments, infrastructures, and bathing. The book analyzes a range of issues concerning complex "water cultures" that have formed around Mexican groundwaters over time and suggests that this understanding might also help us comprehend and confront the water crisis that is coming to a head in the twenty-first century"--Provided by publisher. 606 $aWater-supply$zMexico$zMexico City$y21st century 606 $aWater resources development$zMexico$zMexico City$y21st century 606 $aWater$zMexico$zMexico City$xHistory 606 $aGroundwater$zMexico$zMexico City 606 $aBaths$zMexico$zMexico City$xHistory 606 $aMineral waters$zMexico$zMexico City 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $a18th century. 610 $aacademic. 610 $abathing. 610 $abiology. 610 $achemistry. 610 $acommunity. 610 $acultural. 610 $acultures. 610 $adomination. 610 $aearly modern. 610 $agroundwater. 610 $ahot springs. 610 $ahydraulics. 610 $alaw and order. 610 $alegal issues. 610 $amexican tourist. 610 $amexico city. 610 $amexico. 610 $amid atlantic. 610 $amineral springs. 610 $anatural phenomenon. 610 $anatural world. 610 $anature. 610 $apolicing. 610 $apublic baths. 610 $arelaxation. 610 $aresearch. 610 $arevolution. 610 $aspa tourism. 610 $aspa. 610 $atourist. 610 $atravel mexico. 610 $atravel. 610 $awater. 615 0$aWater-supply 615 0$aWater resources development 615 0$aWater$xHistory. 615 0$aGroundwater 615 0$aBaths$xHistory. 615 0$aMineral waters 676 $a615.8/53 700 $aWalsh$b Casey$0869234 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996312650003316 996 $aVirtuous Waters$92055511 997 $aUNISA LEADER 04144nam 2200673Ia 450 001 9910779147003321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-283-89032-1 010 $a0-8122-0240-6 024 7 $a10.9783/9780812202403 035 $a(CKB)2550000000104544 035 $a(OCoLC)802049523 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebrary10576081 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000720147 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11412645 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000720147 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10660793 035 $a(PQKB)11465091 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse18460 035 $a(DE-B1597)449099 035 $a(OCoLC)979580236 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780812202403 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3441641 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10576081 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL420282 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3441641 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000000104544 100 $a20090130d2009 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aCancer in the lives of older Americans$b[electronic resource] $eblessings and battles /$fSarah H.

And although more than a third of cancer occurs in people over 75 years of age, their tumors are less fully diagnosed and often less fully treated than those in younger patients. Ageism may account for this discrepancy-why intervene if an older man or woman with cancer doesn't have long to live anyway? Yet older people often tolerate chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation as well as younger patients, while continuing to maintain their quality of life for years to come.The lack of clinical trials among this age group results in a deficit of knowledge regarding how to treat cancer in older adults. Little has been written to guide clinicians, social scientists, families, and individuals. In Cancer in the Lives of Older Americans: Blessings and Battles, Sarah H. Kagan writes from the perspective of more than twenty years of practice, inquiry, and education as a nurse. She uses anecdotes and case studies to illustrate important points about cancer among older adults.The book follows the story of Mrs. Eck, a woman in her 80s diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Mrs. Eck's situation sets the stage for a discussion of cancer, which too often focuses on cells and drugs, diagnoses and prognoses, without looking more closely at the people who experience the disease. Chapters offer varied assessments of what it means to be old and have cancer in our society, as Kagan explores other real experiences of cancer for older adults alongside information that will prove essential to patients, their families, scholars, and clinicians. 606 $aCancer$xPsychological aspects$zUnited States 606 $aGeriatric oncology$zUnited States 606 $aOlder people$xDiseases$zUnited States 610 $aCaregiving. 610 $aHealth. 610 $aMedicine. 615 0$aCancer$xPsychological aspects 615 0$aGeriatric oncology 615 0$aOlder people$xDiseases 676 $a618.97/6994 700 $aKagan$b Sarah H$g(Sarah Hope)$01519697 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779147003321 996 $aCancer in the lives of older Americans$93757962 997 $aUNINA
