Inhaltsangabe

An indispensable handbook of the organisations that shaped tuberculosis control across North America. Practical, precise, and historically vital. Compiled by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, this tuberculosis resource directory assembles authoritative listings of the institutions, associations and agencies addressing tuberculosis in the United States and Canada. As a medical institutions guide and public health reference, it maps the networks of health associations in the United States and the wider North American medical community, documenting the disease control agencies that formed the backbone of early infectious-disease work. Researchers and public-health practitioners will find a ready medical professionals reference; librarians and curators will recognise it as a foundational resource for library collections and medical history; casual readers interested in the history of medicine or the social response to epidemics will value its clear presentation of tuberculosis prevention resources. Among early infectious disease directories, it stands out for scope and practical usefulness. A primary witness to early 20th-century healthcare, the directory illuminates how organisations co-ordinated at a formative moment in disease control and public policy. It appeals equally to casual readers and classic-literature collectors, offering utility for scholarship and quiet resonance as a period artefact. A measured, factual register rather than narrative, it rewards careful reading: scholars tracing administrative networks, policy historians examining early prevention strategies, local historians reconstructing civic responses and genealogists seeking authoritative leads will all find practical value. Useful to those assembling infectious disease directories or United States-Canada medical bibliographies, it balances documentary authority with readable structure. Its entries form a mesh of civic, medical and voluntary responses to tuberculosis, making the volume a practical complement to secondary histories. For libraries, researchers and curious readers alike it serves as both a reference and an invitation to deeper study. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

The author of "Picatrix" was likely a highly educated and intellectually versatile scholar, deeply rooted in the Arabic-speaking world of the 11th century. He was well-versed in a variety of disciplines, including astrology, alchemy, and philosophy, drawing on Greek, Persian, and Indian sources. As a participant in the Islamic Golden Age's rich scholarly tradition, he likely had access to extensive libraries and intellectual circles. His work suggests a blend of academic knowledge and practical application, indicating both theoretical understanding and hands-on experience in astrological and magical practices.
