Synopsis

Chronic pain is a medical mystery, debilitating to patients and a source of frustration for practitioners. It often eludes both cause and cure and serves as a reminder of how much further we have to go in unlocking the secrets of the body. A new field of pain medicine has evolved from this landscape, one that intersects with dozens of disciplines and subspecialties ranging from psychology and physiology to anesthesia and chiropractic medicine. Over the past three decades, researchers, policy makers, and practitioners have struggled to define this complex and often contentious field as they work to establish standards while navigating some of the most challenging philosophical issues of Western science. In The Politics of Pain Medicine: A Rhetorical-Ontological Inquiry, S. Scott Graham offers a rich and detailed exploration of the medical rhetoric surrounding pain medicine. Graham chronicles the work of interdisciplinary pain management specialists to found a new science of pain and a new approach to pain medicine grounded in a more comprehensive biospychosocial model. His insightful analysis demonstrates how these materials ultimately shape the healthcare community’s understanding of what pain medicine is, how the medicine should be practiced and regulated, and how practitioner-patient relationships are best managed. It is a fascinating, novel examination of one of the most vexing issues in contemporary medicine.

    Vector-borne diseases represent one of the most complex and challenging frontiers of global health. These infections, transmitted through the bites of mosquitoes, ticks, and other arthropod vectors, affect hundreds of millions of people annually and have shaped human history, migration patterns, and societal development for millennia. This comprehensive exploration delves into three of the most significant vector-borne threats—Malaria, Dengue Fever, and Lyme Disease—illuminating the sophisticated biological mechanisms, ecological dynamics, and human factors that enable these pathogens to transcend the boundaries between wildlife ecosystems and human communities.  
    The story of vector-borne diseases is fundamentally a narrative of ecological relationships, where microscopic parasites and pathogens have evolved remarkable strategies to navigate between arthropod vectors and human hosts. By examining the intricate life cycles, transmission dynamics, clinical manifestations, and global impact of these diseases, this book unveils the multifaceted challenges they present to modern medicine and public health. Readers will journey through diverse landscapes—from tropical regions where Anopheles mosquitoes transmit the ancient scourge of malaria to suburban forests where ticks harbor the bacteria causing Lyme disease—discovering how climate change, urbanization, and human behavior continue to reshape the epidemiological patterns of these persistent threats. Through scientific insight, historical context, and forward-looking analysis, we explore not only the biological complexity of these pathogens but also the innovative strategies being developed to control vectors, prevent transmission, and ultimately reduce the tremendous burden these diseases impose on human communities worldwide.

    For the first time, the story of how and why we have plumbed the mysteries of reading, and why it matters today. 
      
    Reading is perhaps the essential practice of modern civilization. For centuries, it has been seen as key to both personal fulfillment and social progress, and millions today depend on it to participate fully in our society. Yet, at its heart, reading is a surprisingly elusive practice. This book tells for the first time the story of how American scientists and others have sought to understand reading, and, by understanding it, to improve how people do it. 
     
    Starting around 1900, researchers—convinced of the urgent need to comprehend a practice central to industrial democracy—began to devise instruments and experiments to investigate what happened to people when they read. They traced how a good reader’s eyes moved across a page of printed characters, and they asked how their mind apprehended meanings as they did so. In schools across the country, millions of Americans learned to read through the application of this science of reading. At the same time, workers fanned out across the land to extend the science of reading into the social realm, mapping the very geography of information for the first time. Their pioneering efforts revealed that the nation’s most pressing problems were rooted in drastic informational inequities, between North and South, city and country, and white and Black—and they suggested ways to tackle those problems. 
     
    Today, much of how we experience our information society reflects the influence of these enterprises. This book explains both how the science of reading shaped our age and why, with so-called reading wars still plaguing schools across the nation, it remains bitterly contested.
