For over 60 years; the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has worked tirelessly to address infectious diseases and other health hazards. Through the vision of Dr. Joseph W. Mountin; the Communicable Disease Center was created in 1946 as the successor to Malaria Control in War Areas (MCWA); a division of the Public Health Service based in Atlanta. The new agency; CDC; was charged with monitoring and controlling malaria; typhus; and other infectious diseases nationwide. Successful in addressing a wide array of health emergencies--including polio; measles; influenza; Legionnaires disease; toxic shock syndrome; and the Ebola virus--one of the CDCs crowning achievements was its role in the global eradication of smallpox. Known today as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; it is recognized as the nations premier health promotion; prevention; and preparedness agency and a global leader in public health. Discover how a bad batch of polio vaccine brought a nationwide immunization campaign to a standstill; how the mysterious Legionnaires disease sparked nationwide panic and how; today; CDC scientists are at the forefront of prevention research.

Show Case Portfolio GuideBy SGlennI have taught technical theatre apprentices for years with only a few donated portfolios to use for a guide for my charges. I found the first edition very helpful; and this one is even more wonderful to work from. It is the first time I have been able to find a book of this nature. Great information and suggestions. Downsides include links to websites that are no longer active; and a lot of time spent on the authors favorite printer; which will be quickly replaced and forgotten as the world of printers go. As a result; another update will be coming. College students and their professors tire of parades of books being replaced by new editions every few years; so perhaps authors may strike a compromise and have the changeable web content available on a website that can morph as time goes by; with some of the print content in physical form. I work both with the physical text and the eprint edition; and have not determined which I like the best; but as I teach out of multiple texts; the ease of having them all in my iPad is wonderful.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
