Acknowledgments Acknowledgments Milestones in Public Health is a journey through the seminal accomplishments in the field of public health during the 20th century, as well as an inquisitive—and hopefully— inspirational look at the next set of challenges faced by our nation’s public health system. It is not intended to be a textbook or research publication. Rather, it is a general-interest book about public health that should appeal to students in any health-related field, as well as public health professionals and others with a keen interest in this field. At the same time, I hope, in a very personal way, that this book will engage those with little knowledge of the field to learn more about it. I know that a book can change a life’s direction, as I myself entered public health after a book awakened my curiosity about the prevention and control of infectious diseases. Readers will note that we have listed all sources by chapter at the end of the book rather than annotating each fact as it appears in the body of the text.This conscious decision on our part should make the book more readable while allowing those who would like to pursue particular topics to find useful references. Milestones in Public Health is the third in a series of books published by Pfizer Inc’s Public Health Group.These books are a part of our ongoing commitment to public awareness and understanding of the field of public health. As with our previous publications – Advancing Healthy Populations: The Pfizer Guide to Careers in Public Health and The Faces of Public Health – this book represents the collective efforts of many individuals who have dedicated countless hours to its development and production. Our sincere thanks go to Dilia Santana and Oscar Perdomo, U.S. Public Health, Pfizer Inc; Ana Rita González, ScD, Sydney Ann Neuhaus, and Nadjha Acosta of Fleishman-Hillard International Communications; David L. Farren; and Matt Warhaftig of Warhaftig Associates.

We are especially grateful to Hugh Tilson, School of Public Health, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Deeply committed to raising the visibility of the public health community, Hugh provided important perspective and insights throughout the development of this book. His energy and enthusiasm for our entire series of books are invaluable and drive us toward continued partnership with this special community. Barbara A.

Prologue 1 Prologue Public health is the art and science of protecting and improving the health of a community through an organ- ized and systematic effort that includes education, assurance of the provision of health services and protection of the public from exposures that will cause harm. In other words, public health is what we as a society do collectively to assure the conditions in which people can be healthy. In order to effectively address challenges to people’s health, public health practice requires an organized and sustained population-based approach. Milestones in Public Health portrays public health as the vital, critical field it is today in the United States. Each chapter in the book celebrates an acknowledged milestone of public health, exploring first its historical developments, followed by an in-depth case study of the milestone and a vignette that illustrates another facet of the milestone, and concluding with a look ahead.The “Looking Ahead” sec- tion predicts advances yet to come in each of the broad areas of public health where milestones occurred, and acknowledges the paramount issue of preparedness now facing the public health community.The “Looking Ahead” sections may also explore issues of particular

I examined historical changes in the administrative powers of the Surgeon General, to explain what factors affect how a Surgeon General utilizes the office’s “bully pulpit,” and assess changes in the political environment and in who oversees the Surgeon General that may affect the Surgeon General’s future ability to influence public opinion and health. This research involved collecting and analyzing the opinions of journalists and key informants such as current and former government health officials. I also studied public documents, transcripts of earlier interviews and other materials. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES.................................................................................................................v Chapter 1.

  • The Racial Bias Built Into Photography - the New York Times
    9/3/2019 The Racial Bias Built Into Photography - The New York Times LENS The Racial Bias Built Into Photography Sarah Lewis explores the relationship between racism and the camera. By Sarah Lewis April 25, 2019 This week, Harvard University’s Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study is hosting Vision & Justice, a two-day conference on the role of the arts in relation to citizenship, race and justice. Organized by Sarah Lewis, a Harvard professor, participants include Ava DuVernay, Henry Louis Gates Jr., Wynton Marsalis and Carrie Mae Weems. Aperture Magazine has issued a free publication this year, titled “Vision & Justice: A Civic Curriculum” and edited by Ms. Lewis, from which we republish her essay on photography and racial bias. — James Estrin Can a photographic lens condition racial behavior? I wondered about this as I was preparing to speak about images and justice on a university campus. “We have a problem. Your jacket is lighter than your face,” the technician said from the back of the one-thousand-person amphitheater- style auditorium. “That’s going to be a problem for lighting.” She was handling the video recording and lighting for the event. It was an odd comment that reverberated through the auditorium, a statement of the obvious that sounded like an accusation of wrongdoing. Another technician standing next to me stopped adjusting my microphone and jolted in place. The phrase hung in the air, and I laughed to resolve the tension in the room then offered back just the facts: “Well, everything is lighter than my face. I’m black.” “Touché,” said the technician organizing the event.

  • Three Conquests of Canaan
    ÅA Wars in the Middle East are almost an every day part of Eero Junkkaala:of Three Canaan Conquests our lives, and undeniably the history of war in this area is very long indeed. This study examines three such wars, all of which were directed against the Land of Canaan. Two campaigns were conducted by Egyptian Pharaohs and one by the Israelites. The question considered being Eero Junkkaala whether or not these wars really took place. This study gives one methodological viewpoint to answer this ques- tion. The author studies the archaeology of all the geo- Three Conquests of Canaan graphical sites mentioned in the lists of Thutmosis III and A Comparative Study of Two Egyptian Military Campaigns and Shishak and compares them with the cities mentioned in Joshua 10-12 in the Light of Recent Archaeological Evidence the Conquest stories in the Book of Joshua. Altogether 116 sites were studied, and the com- parison between the texts and the archaeological results offered a possibility of establishing whether the cities mentioned, in the sources in question, were inhabited, and, furthermore, might have been destroyed during the time of the Pharaohs and the biblical settlement pe- riod. Despite the nature of the two written sources being so very different it was possible to make a comparative study. This study gives a fresh view on the fierce discus- sion concerning the emergence of the Israelites. It also challenges both Egyptological and biblical studies to use the written texts and the archaeological material togeth- er so that they are not so separated from each other, as is often the case.
