This new book also investigates the mysterious deaths of the Egyptian Pharaoh Akhenaten, the Greek statesman and general Pericles, the Roman Emperor Claudius, Christopher Columbus, Mozart, Florence Nightingale, and Booker T. Washington. Post-Mortem then sifts through the medical evidence, testing a wide range of diagnostic theories against the known facts and today's best scientific research, to arrive at the diagnosis most consistent with the illness described in the historic record. Dr. Philip A. Mackowiak is director of medical care at the VA Maryland Health Care System and professor and vice chairman of the Department of Medicine at the University of Maryland School of Medicine.

Between 1932 and 1972, approximately six hundred African American men in Alabama served as unwitting guinea pigs in what is now considered one of the worst examples of arrogance, racism, and duplicity in American medical research--the Tuskegee syphilis study. Tuskegee's Truths: Rethinking the Tuskegee Syphilis Study revisits the infamous Tuskegee Study and explores its contemporary meanings and relevance for American society. The book's editor, a professor of women's studies at Wellesley College, argues that the Tuskegee Study stands out amid a shameful history of unethical medical research. Like many other examples of unethical research, the study reveals how government officials deceive, how methods to protect human subjects fail, how research exploits human beings, how economically and socially disadvantaged groups are taken advantage of, and how human rights are violated and the violations sustained. The racist climate of American society during the days of the Tuskegee Study did not end abruptly with the 1972 press release that led to the termination of the study. As President Clinton reflected in his 1996 public apology to the survivors of the study and their families, we must work continually to involve minority communities in research and health care, educate medical researchers in bioethics, involve minority groups in bioethics programs, and earn and keep the trust of research subjects who are members of disadvantaged and minority groups. On the other hand, if medicine pays attention to differences by studying and responding to them, the effort may reinforce negative stereotypes or lead society to overlook the economic or social factors contributing to differences among groups. A vivid example of this dilemma is discussed by Angell, who notes that one justification for the Tuskegee Study was the fact that the impoverished black men involved in the study would in all likelihood not have received treatment for their syphilis anyway, so the investigators were merely observing what would have happened if there had been no study. Rather than seeking to correct or condemn this injustice, the Tuskegee Study accepted it, even arguing that results of the experiment would benefit poor, rural blacks because of their high rate of untreated syphilis. How should we understand the role of black professionals who did not protest the Tuskegee Study?

Mendelian Inheritance in Man (MIM) is a genetic knowledgebase that serves clinical medicine and biomedical research, including the Human Genome Project. From a review of the tenth edition, New England Journal of Medicine: "[Victor McKusick] has been for all these years the shepherd of the development of the field [of clinical genetics]. "The book is a magnificent security blanket for the clinical geneticist and should be in the libraries not only of these specialists, but also of all others who see patients with diseases that have genetic components." Victor A. McKusick, M.D., is University Professor of Medical Genetics at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

Experimental typography and wildly inventive layouts reflect an alternative media culture as much informed by the space age, television, and socialism as it was by the great trinity of sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll. Beyond its unparalleled images, Power to the People includes essays by Gwen Allen, Bob Ostertag, and Fred Turner, as well as a series of recollections edited by Pamela M. Lee, all of which comment on the critical impact of the alternative press in the social and popular movements of those turbulent years. This is a remarkable collection curating artifacts from the diverse worlds of feminists, leftists, technology visionaries, gays and other factions all liberated by cheap printing. (Paul Krassner, author of Confessions of a Raving, Unconfined Nut). “The production methods of the Vietnam era underground press seem crude compared to today’s digital technology, but they freed non-corporate journalists, artists, designers, and political activists to publish stunning layout and radical writing cheaply, easily, and in huge quantities, enough to create a worldwide revolution whose effects are still being felt today. In Power to the People, Geoff Kaplan has created a select kaleidoscopic gallery of cover and inside page designs from the vast portfolio of papers that the Vietnam era antiwar countercultural community gifted to the world through their personal struggles, celebrations, and discoveries. Valuable accompanying essays describe how it was done, and also draw the connection to today’s social media radicals, whose roots—whether they know it or not (and too often they don’t)—are with the underground press—and who owe it to themselves to read everything they can about these papers.”. (Ken Wachsberger, editor of Voices from the Underground series). "Railing against a senseless war, pollution, and police violence while celebrating the many social and cultural advances of the time, this passionate artwork, like Renaissance painting, crystallizes a spirit that is obviously dated, but also timeless." ( Village Voice ). “Documenting the power and significance of the counterculture publications of the sixties (understood, culturally, as the years between the assassination of John F. Kennedy and the end of the Vietnam War), this volume is a superb contribution to several disciplines.
