Synopsis African Exposure by : Leonid Heifets
African Exposure: Health Problems and Politics takes the reader on a journey to the pygmy villages of 1962 and to the Zulu camp of 1995, as well as to the wildlife safari in South Africa and Botswana. The author tells of his experiences practicing medicine in remote areas of the Congo as a member of the Russian medical expedition in 1960 and 1962 and consultant on measures of tuberculosis control as an American expert in 1994 and 1995. Also presented in this book are non-conventional analyses of African socio-economic, political, and public health problems in a historical perspective up to the present time. Critical comments regarding the control of the HIV/AIDS and TB epidemics may be of interest to the general public. Although critical about the leadership in some African countries, the author expresses optimistic views on the future of the continent and its potential role in the world community. Leonid Heifets, MD, PhD, ScD. came to the US in 1978 after his emigration from the Soviet Union, where he was known as an expert in epidemiology and microbiology of infectious diseases. Professor Heifets has worked at National Jewish Health in Denver, Colorado, as director of the Mycobacteriology (TB) Reference Laboratory for the last thirty years. In 2009, the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Diseases presented Professor Heifets with the Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of his many contributions to the prevention and control of tuberculosis.

Synopsis Communities in Action by : National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.

Synopsis Triple Exposure by : Dexter Jeffries
With a writing style alive with the rhythms and riffs of jazz, Jeffries deftly examines the questions of identity, race and family in a provocative, moving and often hilarious memoir. Too light to be black, too dark to be white, finding a place in race-conscious American society as the son of a black father and Jewish mother was a challenging journey for the author. Following a different path to his more wayward siblings, he discovers conflicts within himself that have as much to do with Kafka as with Ellison. The truth he learns - you must create yourself.
