Nature Next Door

Cities and Trees in the American Northeast

By: Ellen Stroud

The once denuded northeastern United States is now a region of trees. Nature Next Door argues that the growth of cities, the construction of parks, the transformation of farming, the boom in tourism, and changes in the timber industry have together brought about a return of northeastern forests. Although historians and historical actors alike have seen urban and rural areas as distinct, they are in fact intertwined, and the dichotomies of farm and forest, agriculture and industry, and nature and culture break down when the focus is on the history of Northeastern woods. Cities, trees, mills, rivers, houses, and farms are all part of a single transformed regional landscape. In an examination of the cities and forests of the northeastern United States-with particular attention to the woods of Maine, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Vermont-Ellen Stroud shows how urbanization processes there fostered a period of recovery for forests, with cities not merely consumers of nature but creators as well. Interactions between city and hinterland in the twentieth century Northeast created a new wildness of metropolitan nature: a reforested landscape intricately entangled with the region's cities and towns.

Under the Big Tree

Extraordinary Stories from the Movement to End Neglected Tropical Diseases

By: Ellen Agler,Mojie Crigler

Powerful stories of the debilitating effects of neglected tropical diseases throughout the world, highlighting the successes and challenges of those fighting to eliminate them. Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) affect over one billion of the world's poorest people. More than 170,000 people die from NTDs each year, and many more suffer from blindness, disability, disfigurement, cognitive impairment, and stunted growth. Yet NTDs are treatable and preventable, and the annual cost of treatment is incredibly low. In Under the Big Tree, public health leader Ellen Agler and award-winning writer Mojie Crigler tell the moving stories of those struggling with these diseases and the life-saving work that can be—and has been—done to combat NTDs. They introduce readers to people from all walks of life—from car washers in Lake Victoria and surgeons on motorbikes to under-resourced local nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and Big Pharma scientists—as they chronicle what has been called the largest public health program in the world. On the one hand, the solutions are simple: deliver medication to people who need it and leverage local systems to offer prevention, treatment, and education. On the other hand, solutions are complex: navigating local and national politics, delivering treatment to some of the most remote, vulnerable communities, and coordinating global and local donors, international NGOs, thousands of health workers, and millions of citizens. Drawing on interviews with major players in the NTD world who share their cutting-edge research and frontline experiences, Under the Big Tree is a moving introduction to the science, the tactics, and the partnerships working to address these terrible diseases that affect the most vulnerable people in the world. With a foreword by Bill Gates, this book fascinates, inspires, and gives readers concrete steps for further engagement.

Health Assessment and Physical Examination

By: Mary Ellen Zator Estes,Pauline Calleja,Karen Theobald,Theresa Harvey

Health assessment is an ongoing process that evaluates the whole person as a physical, psychosocial and functional being, whether they are young or old, well or ill. This market-leading text presents health assessment, physical examination information and skills for health professionals who undertake these types of assessments. Health Assessment and Physical Examination is scaffolded from foundation to more advanced health assessment, following a body-systems approach and a ‘head-to-toe’ approach. It uses the ENAP (Examine–Normal–Abnormal–Pathophysiology) approach as a tool for students to collect useful information. An applied case study at the end of each chapter walks students through an example of an assessment. This comprehensive yet student-friendly text is noted for its high-quality case studies, pedagogical elements, and excellent student resources. Unique to this text are the advanced topics and ‘Urgent findings’, which highlights serious or life-threatening signs or critical assessment findings that need immediate attention.
