However sick children have not always had adequate medical care or protection. The essays in \u003ci\u003eChildren's Issues in Historical Perspective\u003c\/i\u003e investigate the identification, prevention, and treatment of childhood diseases from the 1800s onwards, in areas ranging from French-colonial Vietnam to nineteenth-century northern British Columbia, from New Zealand fresh air camps to American health fairs. \u003cbr\u003e Themes include: the role of government and\/or the private sector in initiating and underwriting child public health programs; the growth of the profession of pediatrics and its views on \"proper\" mothering techniques; the role of nationalism, as well as ethnic and racial dimensions in child-saving movements; normative behaviour, social control, and the treatment of \"deviant\" children and adolescents; poverty, wealth, and child health measures; and the development of the modern children's hospital. \u003cbr\u003e This liberally illustrated collection reflects the growing academic interest in all aspects of childhood, especially child health, and originates from health care professionals and scholars across the disciplines. An introduction by the editors places the historical themes in context and offers an overview of the contemporary study of children's health.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cheryl Krasnick Warsh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0889204748\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780889204744\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wilfrid Laurier University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 568\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.30d","brand":"Cheryl Krasnick Warsh","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48748304957695,"sku":"9780889204744","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/childrens-health-issues-in-historical-cheryl-krasnick-warsh-9780889204744","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
