Political Handbook of the World 2012
For this edition, the Handbook editors have attempted to cover national elections for all of 2011. This information is incorporated within the regular text wherever possible or in headnotes at the beginning of the country entries for elections that occurred in the latter part of the year. Each entry begins with information on a country's political status, area, population, major urban centers, languages, currency, and head of state and chief executive. Demographic and economic information is presented in the section titled "The Country," while political background, constitution and government, foreign relations, and current issues are examined in "Government and Politics." "Political Parties and Groups" provides an extensive analysis of formal parties, political groupings, and any antigovernment or illegal formations. Each entry ends with an overview of the nation's legislature, a current cabinet list, and a brief intergovernment representation section, including a membership list of intergovernment organizations for the respective country.

Medicine on the Periphery
Medicine on the Periphery examines the history of the public health of Yucatán, Mexico, from the 1870s through 1960. This book includes chapters on institutions, healers, changing patterns of disease, the biomedicalization of Yucatán, and the relationship between Yucatán and the Mexican Revolutionary government. Sowell analyzes Yucatec officials’ establishment of public health programs as a strategy for the modernization of the region, using wealth from the production of henequen to create Mexico’s most extensive public health system and subsequent tensions with the Revolutionary government. Public health programs situated the Yucatán into a complex position in the nexus of knowledge, power, and technologies of the Atlantic medical community. Medicine on the Periphery provides a comprehensive look at how Yucatán became a medical periphery, a status that made it increasingly dependent upon knowledge and technologies produced in the productive core of the North Atlantic and subject to the authority of the Mexican state. This book will be of interest to scholars in Mexican studies, history of medicine and public health in Latin America and in the Atlantic world.
