Essays in medical sociology Volume 1 - Insightful analysis of medicine and society in the mid-19th century

Elizabeth Blackwell

Sinopsis

In "Essays in Medical Sociology, Volume 1," Elizabeth Blackwell delves into the intricate relationship between healthcare practices and social structures. The essays present a critical analysis of how societal norms and values influence medical institutions and the experiences of patients. Written in a clear, engaging prose style, Blackwell employs both qualitative and quantitative methodologies to substantiate her arguments, bridging the gaps between sociology and medicine. This work is set against the backdrop of 19th-century social reform and emerging public health movements, offering insightful commentary on the evolving role of healthcare in society. Elizabeth Blackwell was not only a pioneering physician but also a fervent advocate for women's rights and public health. As the first woman to receive a medical degree in the United States, her groundbreaking experiences in a male-dominated field profoundly shaped her views. Her dedication to bridging the gap between medicine and sociology is rooted in her observations of disparity within healthcare systems, fueled by her personal encounters with gender bias and social injustice. This compelling collection is essential for anyone interested in the intersections of health, society, and gender. Blackwell's pioneering perspectives invite readers to consider the social determinants of health, making it a valuable resource for both scholars and practitioners in the fields of sociology, healthcare, and public policy.

Capitalist's Worst Nightmare...

Richard M. Kiernicki

The Capitalist's Worst Nightmare Come True: The Crucifixion of Capital: 
In this break-through multiple-award winning book, Richard exposes the lies, greed, corruption and inequality upon which the capitalist system is built. We have the power to turn the world upside down and free ourselves from the illusions of capitalism forever. 
"Richard is an ‘outside the box’ thinker and TIME-EQUITY is a bold pathway of change." James B. Fuller, World Alliance for Planetary Health 
“As time unfolds, it becomes increasingly visible that many of our systems have outlived their purpose. Aligned with our true human spirit, a shift occurs calling for a new approach to value. Richard shows what this could look like.” Nicolette DeVidar, TV Host & Founder, urban2050 
This book shows how fragile the monetary system is and the elite do not want you to know that. Richard has uncovered their secrets. From mechanic to an exemplary career in the financial industry his self-made billionaire partner told him that his greatest asset is his ability to see things differently because he doesn't have an MBA. His "unconventional" methods were featured in a national financial magazine and TV show. He learned that the majority have to fail financially for the few to win. 
The thrust of this book is to show us that there are possibilities beyond what we’ve come to accept as our reality; this comes from an unending drive to imagine beyond the conventional wisdom. TIME-EQUITY is the realistic alternative we’ve been waiting for to usher in an age of equality, true democracy, a sustainable planet and quite possibly the first era of peacefulness amongst humanity to work together in realizing our unlimited potential.
