The roots of humoral medicine reach back to Hippocrates and the Greek doctrine of the four humors. Via Persian and Arab physicians, this medical system was elaborated upon, and passed on to Western Europe where it became ’’establishment’’ medicine until the rise of biomedicine in the 17th and 18th centuries. In Hippocrates’ Latin American Legacy, Foster traces the routes whereby European humoral medicine reached the Americas after the arrival of Columbus.

First published in 1850, New York by Gas-Light explores the seamy side of the newly emerging metropolis: "the festivities of prostitution, the orgies of pauperism, the haunts of theft and murder, the scenes of drunkenness and beastly debauch, and all the sad realities that go to make up the lower stratum--the underground story--of life in New York!"

The anthrax murders in the U.S. and discoveries of biological weapon plans in Africa served as a wake-up call (too late as usual) that biological weapons might actually be a weapon of mass destruction. Their small size but highly deadly nature adds to the fear factor. The reality of this potential danger to the U.S. population found both the federal government as well as state government clueless. This book presents analyses of the actions planned or already carried out in the battle against the threat of bioterrorism, and offers frank analyses of our current state of preparedness or lack ther
