Klappentext zu „Environment and Health in Nineteenth Century America “
Two case studies in nineteenth century environmental history focus upon health as an issue central to understanding social organization. They explore the relationship between urban, industrial expansion, deteriorating environmental conditions and health. One study deals with assumption of responsibility for public health by the municipality of Pittsburgh. It focuses upon the relationship between public health and deteriorating urban environment in a burgeoning industrial city. The other is concerned with the response of coal miners to health and safety issues related to industrial expansion and technological developments in that industry.

Rezension zu „Environment and Health in Nineteenth Century America “
Dr. Corn has produced two exceedingly useful studies: the history of public health in Pittsburgh helps fill one of the many wide gaps in municipal health history, and the monograph on health and safety in nineteenth century coal mines is a fine introduction to the subject. (John Duffy, Professor Emeritus - University of Maryland, Clinical Professor, Tulane University School of Medicine) It is great reading and will likely find its place among the texts which deal with the historical aspects of public health and safety in the United States. (Lawrence Stilwell Betts)
