Supplemental readings on the history of public health and epidemiology

For Monday's lab, if you are not one of the presenters please read something on the history of public health and/or epidemiology. Here are some suggestions:

C. Fraser Brockington. The history of public health. In: W. Hobson (ed), Theory and practice of public health. NY, Oxford, 1979, 1-8.
Abraham and David Lilienfeld. Foundations of Epidemiology. 2nd edition. Oxford University Press, New York, 1980. Chapter 2.
Abraham and David Lilienfeld. What else is new? An historical excursion. Am J Epidemiol 1977;105(3):169-179.
Milton Terris. The epidemiologic tradition. Public Health Reports. May-June 1979;94(3):203-209.
Mervyn Susser. Causal thinking in the health sciences. Oxford University Press, 1973. WA100 S964 1973.

For other ideas see also the bibliography in the Historical Perspectives chapter of the Evolving Text.

You can find a GREEN binder in the course bookcase in room 2106 with a copy of the first two items. There's also a GRAY binder in the same place that contains last year's Evolving Text in case you would like to see what's coming.
