UN ACTO DE MALDAD - GEORGE ELIZABETH - Random Spagna

Non c'è pace per l'ispettore di New Scotland Yard Thomas Lynley, che, reduce dalla difficile indagine condotta in Italia, si trova a scavare tra i segreti, i risentimenti e i rimorsi di una famiglia segnata da un lutto terribile: un suicidio che, ogni giorno di più, rivela risvolti agghiaccianti, costringendo Lynley ad affrontare i suoi stessi, dolorosissimi fantasmi, in quello che si annuncia come il caso più complesso della sua carriera. La vita non sorride nemmeno al suo storico braccio destro, Barbara Havers, che attraversa una profonda crisi personale e professionale. Sperando di aiutarla a ritrovare la sicurezza e lo smalto di un tempo, Lynley accetta di affidarle un caso che Barbara stessa si è trovata tra le mani: la morte in circostanze sospette di una scrittrice nota per le sue posizioni a favore del femminismo. Per risolvere l'enigma, Barbara parte per il Dorset, dove, dietro una facciata incantevole di villaggi pittoreschi, distese di colline erbose e scogliere bianche a picco sul mare, scopre un mondo di tradimenti, incontri clandestini e amori trasformati in gabbie da cui è impossibile fuggire...

Quando il professor Azhar scopre che la figlia di nove anni è scomparsa dalla sua casa di Londra insieme a quasi tutte le sue cose, non può che bussare disperato alla porta accanto e chiedere aiuto alla vicina e amica, il sergente Barbara Havers. Presto si scopre che a portar via la bambina è stata la madre, trasferitasi in Italia, a Lucca, per seguire il suo nuovo amore. Qualche mese dopo, però, la bambina sparisce davvero da un mercato della città, e sul caso si accendono i riflettori dei media. Viene chiamata in causa Scotland Yard, e a indagare è Thomas Lynley, mentore e superiore di Barbara. La Havers, dal canto suo, in questa vicenda sta mettendo a rischio la propria carriera, e forse molto di più: che cosa nasconde Azhar dietro l'immagine del padre affranto? Insieme a un ostinato ispettore italiano, Lynley e la Havers devono affrontare una situazione delicatissima, in cui si mescolano questioni razziali difficoltà linguistiche e pregiudizi culturali, che si complica ulteriormente quando al mistero sul rapimento si aggiunge quello di una misteriosa morte...

Since publication in 1958, George Rosen’s classic book has been regarded as the essential international history of public health. Describing the development of public health in classical Greece, imperial Rome, England, Europe, the United States, and elsewhere, Rosen illuminates the lives and contributions of the field’s great figures. He considers such community health problems as infectious disease, water supply and sewage disposal, maternal and child health, nutrition, and occupational disease and injury. And he assesses the public health landscape of health education, public health administration, epidemiological theory, communicable disease control, medical care, statistics, public policy, and medical geography.

Rosen, writing in the 1950s, may have had good reason to believe that infectious diseases would soon be conquered. But as Dr. Pascal James Imperato writes in the new foreword to this edition, infectious disease remains a grave threat. Globalization, antibiotic resistance, and the emergence of new pathogens and the reemergence of old ones, have returned public health efforts to the basics: preventing and controlling chronic and communicable diseases and shoring up public health infrastructures that provide potable water, sewage disposal, sanitary environments, and safe food and drug supplies to populations around the globe.

A revised introduction by Elizabeth Fee frames the book within the context of the historiography of public health past, present, and future, and an updated bibliography by Edward T. Morman includes significant books on public health history published between 1958 and 2014. For seasoned professionals as well as students, A History of Public Health is visionary and essential reading.

Explains the ways young women can use the Bible as a life guide, from handling issues of loneliness to finding a purpose to profiling young role models.
