A propos de cet article

Type: Hardback First Printing, 1995. Number 57 in the Scientific American Library Series, Division of HPHLP. Distributed by W. H. Freeman and Co. Hardcover in AS NEW Condition with a Near Fine Dust Jacket. Filled with full color and b/w photographs, some full-page; charts; &, diagrams. In clean and unmarked gray full cloth with silver titles, Tight & solid, square with sharp corners. Text block edges clean and white. Pages of coated paper are in pristine condition. White, unclipped dust jacket in archival cover. Cover image: the painting by Th. C. van der Schuer, from the late 17th century, depicting a woman dying during an epidemic of the bubonic plague. Jacket is clean, unmarked, rubbed, with a small closed quarter-inch tear to lower front corner and top edge lightly ruffled. Epidemiologists are scientists who isolate the cause of disease and track the mode of transmition. Sometimes the cases are dramatic, like the case in France when healthy infants suddenly developed rashes, fell sick and died--the cause at first unknown. Noted scientists Stolley and Laksy show how epidemiologists go about investigating the outbreak and spread of contagious diseases, and also how they are tackling the great health risks of our times: heart disease. cancer, environmental illnesses and occupational illnesses. They begin with an historical overview and trace the course of disease events and their investigative methods and some results from the 17th to the 20th century. They show how epidemiology has moved beyond the exploration of the biological cause of disease to the workings of the health care system itself--to evaluate what works and what doesn't. Other topics covered are new methods of studying disease, focusing on lung cancer; the risk factors of heart disease; medicines that backfires; screening populations, and other topics. 242 pages. 8.75 x 9.5 inches. 1995, Scientific American Library, Distributed By Freeman and Co., USA.…
