"When and how did public health become modern? In Governing Systems, Tom Crook re-examines this key question in the context of Victorian and Edwardian England, long regarded as one of the 'homes' of modern public health. The modernity of modern public health, Crook argues, should be located not in the rise of a centralized, bureaucratic and disciplinary State, but in the contested formation and intricate functioning of systems of governing, from the administrative to the technological. Equally, we need to embrace a dialectical understanding of modern governance, one that is rooted in the interaction of multiple levels, agents and times. Theoretically ambitious, but empirically grounded, Governing Systems will be of interest to historians of modern public health and modern Britain, as well as anyone interested in the complex gestation of the governmental dimensions of modernity"--Provided by publisher.

Health and the Modern Home explores shifting and contentious debates about the impact of the domestic environment on health in the modern period. Drawing on recent scholarship, contributors expose the socio-political context in which the physical and emotional environment of "the modern home" and "family" became implicated in the maintenance of health and in the aetiology and pathogenesis of diverse psychological and physical conditions. In addition, they critically analyze the manner in which the expression and articulation of medical concerns about the domestic environment served to legitimate particular political and ideological positions.

In the past five minutes you have done things that 99.9% of human beings have never done. You may have checked your phone, got in a car or gotten a snack from the fridge. Those are good things, but our biology is still suited to hunting and foraging on the African savannah. This book answers the question of how we can practically navigate modern spaces in a way that prevents disease and optimizes happiness. Most people in modern societies are likely to die of one of a small number of diseases - heart disease, cancer, and Alzheimer’s disease - that were practically nonexistent a century ago. How can we have gotten so sick so soon and what can we do to reverse the process?
