Petroleum and Propaganda: The Anatomy of the Global Warming Denial Industry
James Powell was inspired to write this important new book because of a remarkable paradox: among climate scientists, there is a near-unanimous consensus that global warming is occurring now, is largely manmade, and will cause very severe environmental problems if humanity continues business as usual. However, among the lay public the picture is much more mixed: only about half of the U.S. public agrees with the climate scientists. Why the enormo…
On Nuclear Power
Monthly Review has long been on record as opposed to the expansion of nuclear energy. Most recently, some of the dangers of nuclear power, both in its present form and with continuing new technological developments, were spelled out by Robert D. Furber, James C. Warf, and Sheldon C. Plotkin of the Southern California Federation of Scientists, in their article on "The Future of Nuclear Power" (MR, February 2008).... The following correspondence co…

The Scientific Case for Modern Anthropogenic Global Warming
Most Americans today believe that the burning of fossil fuels is causing global warming, but not everybody agrees. Climate contrarians proclaim that global warming is not occurring at all, or that it is occurring but is entirely natural, i.e., that the anthropogenic (human) contribution to global warming is negligible. The contrarian ranks include the well-known radical journalist Alexander Cockburn, who forcefully proclaimed anthropogenic global…
Feasibility and Outcome of HCV Treatment in a Canadian Federal Prison Population
We assessed feasibility and outcome of hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment in male correctional inmates in British Columbia, Canada. We reviewed the medical charts of 114 treated inmates; 80 had complete data for treatment outcome. Approximately 4 of 5 inmates completed treatment (78.8%); 66.3% achieved sustained virological response. Those who completed treatment, those with injection drug use as a risk factor, and those with genotypes 2 and 3 wer…
Clinical assessment of medication adherence among HIV-infected children: Examination of the Treatment Interview Protocol (TIP)
This paper presents findings of a multi-site study designed to document: (1) caregivers' regimen knowledge; (2) barriers to adherence; and (3) the relationships between adherence, regimen knowledge and barriers. Fifty-one predominantly female, African American parents and caregivers of HIV-infected children completed the Treatment Interview Protocol (TIP), a brief, structured interview designed to assess regimen knowledge and barriers to adherenc…
Prevention and Cure: The London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, a Twentieth-Century Quest for Global Public Health (review)
The London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine has had a long and colorful history. It grew from the Seaman's Hospital Society, which in 1821 converted the old gunship H.M.S. Grampus into a hospital ship and moored it at Greenwich. In 1870 the hospital came ashore to become, in 1890, the Albert Dock Branch Hospital; in 1899, it was expanded to become the London School of Tropical Medicine. After World War I the school moved upstream to London…

The Western world is becoming increasingly alarmed over the threats presented by new or reemerging diseases such as drug-resistant pathogens, tuberculosis, Legionnaire's disease, HIV and Ebola viruses, prions, mad-cow disease, and new strains of the cholera bacillus. As a result, in 1996 the Center for the Study of Emerging Diseases (CSED) was established in Jerusalem; a year later, its first symposium on the Archaeology of Emerging Diseases was …
