""Physician to the World: The Life of General William C. Gorgas"" is a comprehensive biography of one of the most important figures in public health history. Written by John Mendinghall Gibson, the book tells the story of William Crawford Gorgas, a physician who played a critical role in the fight against yellow fever and other infectious diseases in the early 20th century.Gorgas was born in Alabama in 1854 and grew up during the Civil War. After attending medical school, he joined the U.S. Army Medical Corps and was sent to Cuba to help control a yellow fever outbreak. There, he implemented a number of innovative measures to control the spread of the disease, including mosquito control and sanitation measures.Gorgas' success in Cuba led to his appointment as chief sanitary officer of the Panama Canal Zone, where he faced even greater challenges in controlling the spread of yellow fever and malaria. Through his leadership and persistence, Gorgas was able to drastically reduce the incidence of these diseases and make the construction of the canal possible.In addition to his work in public health, Gorgas also served as a military leader during World War I and later as Surgeon General of the U.S. Army. Throughout his career, he remained committed to improving the health and well-being of people around the world.Drawing on a wealth of primary sources, including Gorgas' personal papers and diaries, ""Physician to the World"" provides a detailed and engaging account of this remarkable man and his contributions to public health and medicine. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of medicine, public health, or military history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Study of Signed Languages - Essays in Honor of William C. Stokoe

Study of Signed Languages - Essays in Honor of William C. Stokoe

In 1999, many of today's notable researchers assembled at a special conference in honor of William C. Stokoe to explore the remarkable research that grew out of his original insights on American Sign Language. The Study of Signed Languages presents the fascinating findings from that conference. Part 1, Historical Perspectives, begins with a description of the decline of sign language studies in the 1800s. Past research on signed languages and its relationship to language origins theory follows, along with a consideration of modality and conflicting agendas for its study. In Part 2, Language Origins, the first entry intrigues with the possibility that sign language could answer conundrums posed by Noam Chomsky's linguistic theories. The next essay considers how to build a better language model by citing continuity, ethology, and Stokoe's work as key elements. Stokoe's own research on the gestural theory of language origins is examined in the section's closing chapter. Part 3, Diverse Populations, delineates the impact of sign language research on black deaf communities in America, on deaf education, on research into variation in sign language, and even on sign communication and the motor functioning of autistic children and others. In its wide-ranging, brilliant scholarship, The Study of Signed Languages serves as a fitting tribute to William C. Stokoe and his work.

Islamic Thought and the Art of Translation: Texts and Studies in Honor of William C. Chittick and Sachiko Murata

Islamic Thought and the Art of Translation: Texts and Studies in Honor of William C. Chittick and Sachiko Murata

Islamic Thought and the Art of Translation honors two of the most beloved and productive scholars in the field of Islamic Studies, Professors William Chittick and Sachiko Murata. For the past five decades, in over 40 books (monographs, editions, translations, edited volumes) and more than 300 articles, Professors Chittick and Murata have presented us with philologically sound and analytically rigorous expositions of the pre-modern Islamic intellectual tradition, particularly in the areas of Sufism and philosophy. They have done so primarily by zeroing in on the technical vocabularies of Arabic, Persian, and Chinese texts in these disciplines, demonstrating just how important careful reading and responsible translation methods are to the study of pre-modern worldviews. Contributors: Seyyed Hossein Nasr, Masoud Ariankhoo, Mohammed Rustom, Kazuyo Murata, Ali Karjoo-Ravary, Shankar Nair, Maria Massi Dakake, Gregory Vandamme, Alireza Pharaa, Justin Cancelliere, Matthew Melvin-Koushki, Marlene DuBois, Naser Dumairieh, Omar Edaibat, Oludamini Ogunnaike, Khalil Andani, Davlat Dadikhuda, Rosabel Ansari, Muhammad U. Faruque, Sayeh Meisami, Cyrus Ali Zargar, Alireza Asghari, Amer Latif, Mukhtar H. Ali, Laury Silvers, Mohammed Mehdi Ali, Tahera Qutbuddin, Yousef Casewit, and Atif Khalil.
