    Epidemiology - Tracking Diseases

    Epidemiology is the scientific study of the distribution, patterns, and determinants of health and disease conditions in populations. It serves as the cornerstone of public health, enabling researchers and policymakers to understand how diseases spread, who is most at risk, and what factors contribute to health outcomes. By identifying these elements, epidemiology helps in designing and implementing effective disease prevention and control measures, ultimately improving public health and reducing the burden of illnesses. 
    The significance of epidemiology lies in its ability to provide a systematic approach to studying health-related issues. Through observation, data collection, and statistical analysis, epidemiologists uncover trends in disease occurrence and evaluate the effectiveness of interventions. This discipline extends beyond infectious diseases, encompassing chronic conditions, environmental health hazards, and even social determinants of health. By examining these factors, epidemiologists can offer insights into the root causes of health disparities and develop strategies to mitigate them. 
    One of the key contributions of epidemiology is its role in disease surveillance. Monitoring the spread of infectious diseases, such as influenza, tuberculosis, or COVID-19, allows health authorities to implement timely responses, including vaccinations, quarantine measures, and public health advisories. Without epidemiology, controlling outbreaks and minimizing their impact on society would be significantly more challenging.

    Talking it Better is a practical book about the everyday practice of counselling and psychotherapy, written by a practitioner for fellow practitioners. Using case studies based on his own clients, Elton carefully examines what helps and what hinders the process of change in the therapy room. At the heart of therapeutic work, he argues, is the development of effective mind skills. He explains how counsellors and therapists can borrow valuable ideas from the teachers of skills such as swimming, reading music or learning to drive. And he shows us that, when it comes to developing our mind skills, practice is often far more important than insight or theory. Marie-Anne wants to manage the sergeant major in her head who keeps telling her what to do. Calum wants to learn to hear what his partner is really saying, rather than what he fears she is. Isobel wants to stop rushing to help people and then resenting them because they take her for granted. These, and the many other characters in this book, were profoundly stuck until, through talking it better , each found a unique path taking them closer to the self they would prefer to be. 
    'This is a beautifully written, accessible and inspiring book, that has a lot to offer to both novice and experienced counsellors and psychotherapists, and also to clients. Matthew Elton invites other practitioners to look over his shoulder to find out how another colleague works.  Elton’s approach is highly collaborative.... I enjoyed reading this book, learned from it, and would recommend it to anyone – practitioner or help-seeker – who is interested in understanding how therapy can make a difference.

     “Democracy has to be born anew every generation, and education is its midwife,” wrote John Dewey in his classic work The School and Society. In School, Society, and State, Tracy Steffes places that idea at the center of her exploration of the connections between public school reform in the early twentieth century and American political development from 1890 to 1940.American public schooling, Steffes shows, was not merely another reform project of the Progressive Era, but a central one. She addresses why Americans invested in public education and explains how an array of reformers subtly transformed schooling into a tool of social governance to address the consequences of industrialization and urbanization. By extending the reach of schools, broadening their mandate, and expanding their authority over the well-being of children, the state assumed a defining role in the education—and in the lives—of American families.In School, Society, and State, Steffes returns the state to the study of the history of education and brings the schools back into our discussion of state power during a pivotal moment in American political development.
