Meditations of a Holocaust Traveler

By: Gerald E. Markle

Markle grasps at the Holocaust, not only from the writings of survivors and academic specialists, but also from his experience as a "tourist" of the Holocaust. He challenges the way we typically think about the Holocaust: them versus us; then versus now; there versus here. He travels across time, place, and subject to ponder the meaning of the Holocaust for contemporary cultures.

Politics, Science And Cancer:

The Laetrile Phenomenon

By: Gerald E. Markle,James C. Petersen

At no time in U.S. history has there been a more effective challenge to medical expertise and authority than that mounted by the contemporary Laetrile movement. The efficacy of Laetrile has been debated for over twenty-five years, but despite vigorous opposition from the medical community, support for the purported cancer treatment continues to grow and the controversy has in recent years intensified and become highly politicized. How does one account for the continuing debate and the spectacular political growth of the movement to promote Laetrile? This and related questions are addressed by an interdisciplinary group of authors in this first scholarly analysis of the Laetrile phenomenon.

What If Medicine Disappeared?

By: Gerald E. Markle,Frances B. McCrea

In this thought-provoking book, sociologists Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea ask what would happen if Western medicine were to disappear. Using a rigorous and imaginative method—a thought experiment—Markle and McCrea evaluate medicine's impact on mortality and our national health. They examine various aspects of medicine, such as primary care, surgery, emergency medicine, pharmaceuticals, and mental illness treatment, and convincingly point out the problems that health care actually causes. Supporting their ideas with statistics and studies from medical and social science literature, Markle and McCrea argue that the medical model, despite its tremendous budget and hype, accomplishes far less than most would think. Their conclusions should promote critical review and lively discussion among medical consumers as well as among health care professionals and policy makers.
