This is a compilation of the medical histories of 425 Confederate generals. It does not analyze the effects of an individual's medical problems on a battle or the war, but provides information about factors that may have contributed to the wound, injury, or illness, and the outcome.

When smokers inhale smoke into their lungs, they take the drug nicotine into their bodies and brains, where it affects how the smokers feel and act. When smokers display their cigarettes, they are saying something symbolic and personal about themselves. And when smokers smoke, they put themselves at risk, often knowingly, of early disability or death. Smoking is one of the world′s most pressing public health problems. Cigarettes, Nicotine, and Health reviews the severe problems caused by smoking and examines individual and public health approaches to reducing smoking and its attendant health problems. Cigarettes are the most popular, most addictive, and most deadly form of tobacco use, with cigarette design contributing directly to the dangers of smoking; most of the book focuses on this predominant form of nicotine use.
In 1860, the nations first college-hospital was founded in Brooklyn. Initially called the Long Island College Hospital, Collegiate Division, this innovative institution was the first to bring controversial, cuttingedge methods of teaching to the study of medicine in the United States. Until this time, medical students had been taught exclusively in schools, rarely leaving the lecture hall for first-hand experience. With the belief that medical instruction should be brought to the hospital bedside, the renowned institution that became SUNY Downstate Medical Center was founded, changing the course of medical instruction forever. In 2000, on its 140th anniversary, SUNY Downstate is celebrated for its innovative teaching practices and superior instructors and equipment. Now the largest medical school in New York State, SUNY Downstate prepares about 1,500 students per year for careers in medicine, nursing, and the allied health professions. SUNY Downstate Medical Center is an incredible new volume that includes not only photographs but also announcements, bulletins, degrees, theses, and countless other memories from the last 140 years.
At the time of the Revolutionary War, a fifth of the Colonial population was African American. By 1779, 15 percent of the Continental Army were former slaves, while the Navy recruited both free men and slaves. More than 5000 black Americans fought for independence in an integrated military--it would be the last until the Korean War. The majority of Indian tribes sided with the British yet some Native Americans rallied to the American cause and suffered heavy losses. Of 26 Wampanoag enlistees from the small town of Mashpee on Cape Cod, only one came home. Half of the Pequots who went to war did not survive. Mohegans John and Samuel Ashbow fought at Bunker Hill. Samuel was killed there--the first Native American to die in the Revolution. This history recounts the sacrifices made by forgotten people of color to gain independence for the people who enslaved and extirpated them.
