A propos de cet article

Verso, London. 2003. Hardcover (16 x 24 cm), 330 pages. ISBN: 1859846696. The book and dust jacket (dj) are in Very Good condition. Full-bound, blue boards. Bumped. Rolled/creased at head & foot of spine. Some light soiling. The dj is creased, most notably at edges, particularly the spine head. Some small closed tears, the largest being approximately 1cm at bottom corner of rear flap fold. The dj is protected in an archival (removable) book jacket cover. "Tuberculosis, a disease destined as recently as thirty years ago for complete eradication, is now back on the increase. A total of one third of the world's population is infected with the TB bacilus, and the disease is current killing around to million people each year. Contrary to popular belief, the epidemic is not confined to sub-Sahara Africa and parts of Asia: reflecting the increasing divide between rich and poor everywhere, outbreaks of the disease have occurred in London and New York, and prevalence is alarmingly high in eastern Europe and Russia. This book provides an international survey of current thought on the spread and control of tuberculosis, covering historical, social, political, and medical aspects of the crisis. While the contributors may differ in their opinions over specific treatments or policy strategies, all are agreed on the overriding thesis of the book -- that the resurgence of disease is one of the most telling indictments of the failure of global political and economic institutions to improve the lives of ordinary people."
