A Discourse on the Plague

Richard Mead

Maison d'édition: DigiCat

Synopsis

Richard Mead's "A Discourse on the Plague" presents a meticulous examination of the bubonic plague, intertwining empirical observations with philosophical reflections on disease and health. Written in the early 18th century, Mead employs a blend of didactic prose and medical treatise, illustrating the socio-political and cultural ramifications of outbreaks. His work is positioned within the burgeoning field of public health and reflects the Enlightenment's emphasis on reason and observation, making it a critical contribution to the understanding of pandemics and their societal impacts. Richard Mead, a prominent physician of his time, was influenced by the scientific advancements of the early modern era and the palpable fear surrounding epidemic diseases. His practical experience in medicine, alongside his classical education, equipped him to address not merely the biological facets of the plague but also its broader societal implications. Mead's expert knowledge allowed him to build upon the existing medical literature while advocating for rational public health measures. This book is a compelling read for anyone interested in the historical context of epidemics and their enduring relevance. Mead's eloquent style and comprehensive insights make it an indispensable text for scholars of public health and history, as well as for general readers seeking a deeper understanding of humanity's enduring battle with infectious diseases.

The Black Butterfly - The...

Lawrence T. Brown

The world gasped in April 2015 as Baltimore erupted and Black Lives Matter activists, incensed by Freddie Gray's brutal death in police custody, shut down highways and marched on city streets. In The Black Butterfly—a reference to the fact that Baltimore's majority-Black population spreads out on both sides of the coveted strip of real estate running down the center of the city like a butterfly's wings—Lawrence T. Brown reveals that ongoing historical trauma caused by a combination of policies, practices, systems, and budgets is at the root of uprisings and crises in hypersegregated cities around the country. 
 
 
 
Putting Baltimore under a microscope, Brown looks closely at the causes of segregation, many of which exist in current legislation and regulatory policy. Drawing on social science research, policy analysis, and archival materials, Brown reveals the long history of racial segregation's impact on health, from toxic pollution to police brutality. 
 
 
 
Brown offers a clear five-step plan for activists, nonprofits, and public officials to achieve racial equity. Brown offers up a wide range of innovative solutions to help heal and restore redlined Black neighborhoods, including municipal reparations. The Black Butterfly demonstrates that America cannot reflect that Black lives matter until we see how Black neighborhoods matter.
