The question of global access to medicines is addressed because of its political importance, and because it offers a particularly stark illustration of the consequences of classifying medicines as a private rather than a public good. Two further specific challenges to the future of medicine's regulation are examined separately: first, pharmacogenetics, or the genetic targeting of medicines to subgroups of patients, and second, the possibility of using medicines to enhance well-being or performance, rather than treat disease. Throughout, the emphasis is on the role of regulation in shaping and influencing the operation of the medicines industry, an issue that is of central importance to the promotion of public health and the fair and equitable distribution of healthcare resources."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aDrugs$xLaw and legislation$zGreat Britain 606 $aPharmacy$xLaw and legislation$zGreat Britain 606 $2Medical & healthcare law 615 0$aDrugs$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aPharmacy$xLaw and legislation 676 $a344.410416 700 $aJackson$b Emily$f1966-$01496592 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791912903321 996 $aLaw and the regulation of medicines$93798642 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04904nam 2200961Ia 450 001 9910779977703321 005 20230803021357.0 010 $a0-520-95697-4 024 7 $a10.1525/9780520956971 035 $a(CKB)2550000001108401 035 $a(EBL)1339426 035 $a(OCoLC)858523102 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000950462 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12409836 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000950462 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11007032 035 $a(PQKB)11233765 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1339426 035 $a(DE-B1597)518739 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780520956971 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1339426 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10742587 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL508751 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000001108401 100 $a20130403d2013 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aMountain geography$b[electronic resource] $ephysical and human dimensions /$fedited by Martin F.

The global importance of mountains is recognized particularly because they provide critical resources, such as water, food and wood; contain high levels of biological and cultural diversity; and are often places for tourism and recreation and/or of sacred significance. This major revision of Larry Price's book Mountains and Man (1981) is both timely and highly appropriate. The past three decades have been a period of remarkable progress in our understanding of mountains from an academic point of view. Of even greater importance is that society at large now realizes that mountains and the people who reside in them are not isolated from the mainstream of world affairs, but are vital if we are to achieve an environmentally sustainable future. Mountain Geography is a comprehensive resource that gives readers an in-depth understanding of the geographical processes occurring in the world's mountains and the overall impact of these regions on culture and society as a whole. The volume begins with an introduction to how mountains are defined, followed by a comprehensive treatment of their physical geography: origins, climatology, snow and ice, landforms and geomorphic processes, soils, vegetation, and wildlife. The concluding chapters provide an introduction to the human geography of mountains: attitudes toward mountains, people living in mountain regions and their livelihoods and interactions within dynamic environments, the diverse types of mountain agriculture, and the challenges of sustainable mountain development.   606 $aMountains 606 $aMountain people 606 $aHuman geography 606 $aGeomorphology 610 $aanthropology. 610 $acomprehensive resource. 610 $aconservation. 610 $acritical resources. 610 $adynamic environments. 610 $aearth science. 610 $aearth sciences. 610 $aecology. 610 $aenvironmental. 610 $ageographical processes. 610 $ageography. 610 $ageology. 610 $ageomorphic processes. 610 $agives readers. 610 $aglobal importance. 610 $aglobal population. 610 $ahuman geography. 610 $alandforms. 610 $amountain agriculture. 610 $amountain ranges. 610 $amountains. 610 $anature. 610 $aphysical geography. 610 $ascience. 610 $asustainale mountain development. 610 $awater resources. 610 $awilderness. 615 0$aMountains. 615 0$aMountain people. 615 0$aHuman geography. 615 0$aGeomorphology. 676 $a910/.02143 701 $aPrice$b Martin F$0327197 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779977703321 996 $aMountain geography$93819665 997 $aUNINA
