Global health is a broad field that is fundamentally about healthcare equity and health as a human right, whether in high- or low-income countries, rural areas, or inner cities. Although understanding disease processes and treatments is important to providing health care, of equal importance is an understanding that the conditions in which people live and work affect a wide range of health outcomes. 50 Studies Every Global Health Provider Should Know presents a diverse series of studies that illustrate key issues to consider in achieving health care as a human right, including health systems and delivery, health policy, the role of implicit bias in healthcare, and how socioeconomic status affects health.

M. A. Roberts introduces the newcomer to population ethics and investigates the key issues in a way that will be of interest to professional philosophers, economists, lawyers, and students in all those areas who seek to understand what a cogent, intuitively plausible theory of population will look like. To that end, Roberts presents five perplexing but telling existence puzzles that already are or shall soon become important parts of the population ethics literature: the Asymmetry Puzzle, the Pareto Puzzle, the Addition Puzzle, the Anonymity Puzzle, and the Better Chance Puzzle. Roberts develops solutions to the puzzles that together form a partial theory of population, a collection of principles grounded in intuition but highly sensitive to the formal demands of consistency and cogency.

A history of the East India Company told through experiences of everyday life on the ocean: maritime travel, shipboard conditions, foreign encounters, islands and ports of call, the waters of the Atlantic itself.

By bringing to life the cultural imaginaries and practices of the past, Fascism, the War, and Structures of Feeling in Italy, 1943-1945 raises ostensibly intractable questions on the epochal impact of what often appears as inconsequential: the typically unseen and seemingly banal power of everyday experiences.

Since the 1980s, feminist and queer art has been branded by the Christian Right as sacrilegious or pornographic-sometimes both. But how and why did visual art take center stage in these culture war battles? Provoking Religion provides a new interpretation of the history of the culture wars, one that avoids simply pitting religious conservatives against secular progressives. Anthony Petro explains how the literalist rhetoric of conservative Christians reduced art to obscenity and why so many feminist and queer artists-including Judy Chicago, David Wojnarowicz, and Renee Cox--were drawn to religious imagery in their creative work, often casting their own religious and theological visions.

' ... every health professional should consider its key message as a principle (what does the evidence tell us?) in their practice and in their influence personally. The case is built strongly through the chapters: What is prostate cancer and how common is it? What is the risk of dying from prostate cancer? What is the risk of being diagnosed? What increases or decreases the risk of prostate cancer? How is it diagnosed? What are the treatments for early stage? To screen or not to screen?'

Reading Across the Pacific is a study of literary and cultural engagement between the United States and Australia from a contemporary interdisciplinary perspective. The book examines the relations of the two countries, shifting the emphasis from the broad cultural patterns that are often compared, to the specific networks, interactions, and crossings that have characterised Australian literature in the United States and American literature in Australia.In the 21st century, both American and Australian literatures are experiencing new challenges to the very different paradigms of literary history and criticism each inherited from the 20th century. In response to these challenges, scholars of both literatures are seizing the opportunity to reassess and reconfigure the conceptual geography of national literary spaces as they are reformed by vectors that evade or exceed them, including the transnational, the local and the global. The essays in Reading Across the Pacific are divided into five sections: 'National literatures and transnationalism', 'Poetry and poetics', 'Literature and popular culture', 'The Cold War', and 'Publishing history and transpacific print cultures'.

"An intimate window into the world of American evangelicalism. Fellow exvangelicals will find McCammon's story both startlingly familiar and immensely clarifying, while those looking in from the outside can find no better introduction to the subculture that has shaped the hopes and fears of millions of Americans." -Kristin Kobes Du Mez, New York Times bestselling author of Jesus and John Wayne The first definitive book that names the massive social movement of people leaving the church: the exvangelicals. Growing up in a deeply evangelical family in the Midwest in the '80s and '90s, Sarah McCammon was strictly taught to fear God, obey him, and not question the faith. Persistently worried that her gay grandfather would go to hell unless she could reach him, or that her Muslim friend would need to be converted, and that she, too, would go to hell if she did not believe fervently enough, McCammon was a rule-follower and-most of the time-a true believer. But through it all, she was increasingly plagued by fears and deep questions as the belief system she'd been carefully taught clashed with her expanding understanding of the outside world.After spending her early adult life striving to make sense of an unraveling worldview, by her 30s, she found herself face-to-face with it once again as she covered the Trump campaign for NPR, where she witnessed first-hand the power and influence that evangelical Christian beliefs held on the political right. Sarah also came to discover that she was not alone: she is among a rising generation of the children of evangelicalism who are growing up and fleeing the fold, who are thinking for themselves and deconstructing what feel like the "alternative facts" of their childhood.Rigorously reported and deeply personal, The Exvangelicals is the story of the people who make up this generational tipping point, including Sarah herself. Part memoir, part investigative journalism, this is the first definitive book that names and describes the post-evangelical movement: identifying its origins, telling the stories of its members, and examining its vast cultural, social, and political impact.
