Lead Wars details how the nature of the epidemic has changed and highlights the dilemmas public health agencies face today in terms of prevention strategies and chronic illness linked to low levels of toxic exposure. The authors use the opinion by Maryland's Court of Appeals-which considered whether researchers at Johns Hopkins University's prestigious Kennedy Krieger Institute (KKI) engaged in unethical research on 108 African-American children-as a springboard to ask fundamental questions about the practice and future of public health. Lead Wars chronicles the obstacles faced by public health workers in the conservative, pro-business, anti-regulatory climate that took off in the Reagan years and that stymied efforts to eliminate lead from the environments and the bodies of American children. 410 0$aCalifornia/Milbank books on health and the public ;$v24. 606 $aLead poisoning$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aLead poisoning in children$zUnited States 606 $aLead poisoning in children$xPrevention$xGovernment policy$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLead poisoning$xHistory. 615 0$aLead poisoning in children 615 0$aLead poisoning in children$xPrevention$xGovernment policy 676 $a363.738/492 700 $aMarkowitz$b Gerald E$01026774 701 $aRosner$b David$f1947-$01026775 712 02$aMilbank Memorial Fund. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463110103321 996 $aLead wars$92441877 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02945nam 2200577Ia 450 001 9910783230303321 005 20221206220043.0 010 $a1-280-73455-8 010 $a9786610734559 010 $a1-84779-057-7 010 $a1-4175-9058-0 035 $a(CKB)1000000000030956 035 $a(EBL)242638 035 $a(OCoLC)559654392 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000106388 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11132853 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000106388 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10109650 035 $a(PQKB)11385867 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC242638 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL242638 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10078515 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL73455 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000030956 100 $a20030324d2003 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurmn#---||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 14$aThe Asian financial crisis$b[electronic resource] $ecrisis, reform and recovery /$fShalendra D.

What began as a localised currency crisis soon engulfed the entire Asian region. What went wrong and how did the Asian economies, long considered 'miracles', respond? How did the United States, Japan and other G-7 countries react to the crisis? What role did the IMF play? Why did China, which suffers from many of the same structural problems responsible for the crisis, remain conspicuously insulated from the turmoil raging in its midst? What explains Asia's remarkable recovery just three years after the crisis? In what fundamental ways did the Asian crisis serve as a catalyst to the current thinking about the 'new international financial architecture'? What lessons can be learnt from the crisis by other emerging economies? This book provides answers to all the above questions and more. It gives a comprehensive account of how the international economic order operates, examines its strengths and weaknesses, and what needs to be done to fix it. The book will be vital to students of economics, international political economy, Asian and development studies. 606 $aFinancial crises$zAsia 607 $aAsia$xEconomic conditions$y1945- 607 $aAsia$xEconomic policy 615 0$aFinancial crises 676 $a330.95042921 700 $aSharma$b Shalendra D.$f1958-$0800712 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783230303321 996 $aThe Asian financial crisis$92095382 997 $aUNINA
