  • The War Against Epidemics in Colonial Guatemala 1519-1821by Lawrence H. Feldman

    Boson Books 1999; US$ 10.95

    Using colonial tax and census records, scholars think the indigenous population dropped at least 90% in the first 160 years after the European conquest. Mismanagement, drought, famine, flood, earthquakes, and even volcanic eruptions all had their victims but the chief cause of death were none of these. In colonial Guatemala the pests, the epidemics, were the greatest killers. There are many books on medicine in colonial Guatemala. What makes this work different is that it is neither a broad history of the colonial era nor restricted to a single ethnic group or profession. Instead, it seeks to answer the question: What happened when an epidemic struck? Boson Books also offers Motagua Colonial by Lawrence Feldman. For an author bio, photo, and... more...

  • Signal Transduction and Human Diseaseby Toren Finkel; J. Silvio Gutkind

    John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2003; US$ 189.95

There have been significant advances in the area of signaling in disease processes, yet no resource presently connects these advances with understanding of disease processes and applications for novel therapeutics. Given the emphasis on translational research and biological relevance in biotechnology, and, conversely, the importance of molecular approaches for clinical research, it is evident that a single resource bridging signaling research and human disease will be invaluable. more...
