WAR OR HEALTH? IN JOHANNESBURG

Subtitle: A Reader Editor: Ilkka Taipale Preface: Kofi Annan Publisher: Zed Books () ISBN-10: ISBN-13: Condition: Very Good Binding: Softcover Pages: 652 Dimensions: 23.3 x 15.5 x 3.8 cm +++ edited by Ilkka Taipale +++ This comprehensive reader of 70 specially commissioned essays provides an unusually wide-ranging examination of the connection between warfare and human health and society. Contributors look at the changing character of wars and their effects on civilization, the medical and health aspects of different types of weapons, the changing roles of health professionals in war, the arms trade, social tensions, the media, theories of violence, and war as a social institution.   A passion for books and a passion for collecting fine editions was the recipe that created the successful group of bookshops in Johannesburg called Bookdealers. The group started thirty years ago with one store in the quirky suburb of Yeoville and has grown through the years to a total of five shops, plus our online sales. Bookdealers is well-known for its collectable and used books. We also have a large variety of remaindered books sourced from around the world.  If you collect from one of our five branches there is no delivery charge. We also offer postal delivery (when available) and courier delivery, subject to a quote.
