Case Studies in Public Health Preparedness and Response to Disasters

By: Linda Y Landesman,Isaac B. Weisfuse

From extreme weather events such as Superstorm Sandy, man-made tragedies like the Madrid train bombings, the threat of bioterrorism, and emerging infections such as the H1N1 pandemic flu, disasters are creating increasingly profound threats to health of populations around the globe. Through a presentation of 16 case studies of events from natural disasters to pandemic infection, the authors examine the broad range of public health scenarios through the lens of emergency preparedness and planning. This text demonstrates the application of public health preparedness competencies established by the Association of Schools of Public Health (ASPH). It is designed for students across a wide spectrum of health and safety disciplines, and makes an ideal complement to any text on disaster preparedness or public health leadership, or can be used as a standalone text. --

In addition, it identifies the public health role in each aspect of disaster activity, something that no other book has done.

Mandela's Children

Growing Up in Post-Apartheid South Africa

By: Oscar A. Barbarin,Linda M. Richter

There is a gap between the hope for improved social conditions in post-apartheid South Africa and the grim reality of black life there is especially striking for South African children who face serious threats to their health and development as a consequence of poverty, racism, violence, and residual social inequality. Mandela's Children presents the contrasting conditions of hope and peril that characterize life in South African families, schools, and communities. Using empirical data and qualitative case studies, the authors analyze and discuss research on children's behavioral, emotional, and academic development and how they are influenced by community violence, household poverty and family functioning. This discussion is balanced by one that considers the competence, health and resilience of South African children.
