Tore Godal and the Evolution of Global Health
This book is an interconnected history of the evolution of global health in the decades before 2019, told through the prism of six decisive moments in which individuals from the World Health Organization (WHO), philanthropic foundations, academia and bilateral agencies came together to shape the world. These critical junctures are accessed via the life and work of Norwegian immunologist Tore Godal, one of the most influential health physicians of all time. Godal’s career over the past 50 years offers a window into the profound events that have shaped the health and well-being of millions across the globe, including the first free donation of a drug for the treatment of river blindness; the...

Ford Madox Ford, 1873-1939
The Protean personality and career of Ford Madox Ford as poet, novelist, editor, critic, and '’miscellaneous writer" have made: him one of the most elusive of modern authors. In this bibliography, which includes extensive excerpts of writings by and about Ford as well as complete descriptions of the various editions of his book and periodical publications, David Dow Harrvey has at last made it possible to form a true estimate of Ford’s involvements with other writers and his contributions to modern literature. Originally published in 1961. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
The Andumaran Chronicles: The Eye of Udjat
The Andumaran Chronicles follow the Andumaran Orbs, also known as Knowledge Stars. These ancient objects were once scattered throughout the galaxy as a way to protect and collect knowledge by an ancient race called the Andumara. The Andumara dominated the galaxy in an era focused on knowledge, exploration and peace for all. As their thirst for knowledge expanded, the Andumara philosophy became challenged by a rot from within called the Dakura, a breakaway sect that wanted to restrict the vast accumulated knowledge and use it for themselves. After eons, the Andumara and Dakura faded and the galaxy sprouted with new civilizations. The Eye of Udjat tells the story of five Knowledge Stars on Earth that awaken after generations to link with human hosts. Rumors of the Dakura return permeate the galaxy as a peaceful civilization called the Mitos believe they are the first target. As the Mitos struggle to convince galactic politicians that the threat is real, Mitos agents help the Knowledge Star bearers on Earth as they attempt to destroy the Dakuran threat, save the Mitos and set the Knowledge Star bearers on a path of heroism and discovery.
Winds of Change
Following Never Again and Having It So Good, the third part of Peter Hennessy's celebrated Post-War Trilogy 'By far the best study of early Sixties Britain ... so much fun, yet still shrewd and important' The Times, Books of the Year Harold Macmillan famously said in 1960 that the wind of change was blowing over Africa and the remaining British Empire. But it was blowing over Britain too - its society; its relationship with Europe; its nuclear and defence policy. And where it was not blowing hard enough - the United Kingdom's economy - great efforts were made to sweep away the cobwebs of old industrial practices and poor labour relations. Life was lived in the knowledge that it could end in ...
Smoking Kills
At the end of the Second World War, Britain had the highest incidence of lung cancer in the world. For the first time lung cancer deaths exceeded those from tuberculosis - and no one knew why. On 30 September 1950, a young physician named Richard Doll concluded in a research paper that smoking cigarettes was 'a cause and an important cause' of the rapidly increasing epidemic of lung cancer. His historic and contentious finding marked the beginning of a life-long crusade against premature death and the forces of 'Big Tobacco'. Born in 1912, Doll, a natural patrician, jettisoned his Establishment background and joined the Communist Party as a reaction to the 'anarchy and waste' of capitalism i...
