The first edition of The Struggle for Health was published in 1985 and was widely acclaimed by those seeking a broader and deeper political understanding of ill health, beyond the medical model of care. It was a revolutionary book, charting new ways of understanding and tackling the causes of ill health, and suggesting strategies to enable health for all. This second edition includes health problems that have emerged since the 1980s, notably HIV/AIDs, COVID-19, and other epidemics, and the increase in non-communicable diseases, such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes. It examines some of the health impacts of globalization, specifically on the food and pharmaceutical value chains, and considers the consequences of climate change on the health of populations. However, this edition does not depart from the core message of the original book: Health for All can only be achieved through a more equitable distribution of wealth, resources, and power. The Struggle for Health, Second Edition, utilises the same approach as the first, with a narrative that begins with diseases, then describes historical trends and the limitation of the medical (and commercial) model of care. At each juncture, it asks the question 'WHY' - why do people, especially children, still die in large numbers throughout the world, from wholly preventable diseases? Why is it that appropriate provision for health care is not available to every individual in the world? What changes can be made to improve this situation? Most importantly, this edition presents a strengthened call to action, building upon the original work and advocating for systemic changes to ensure justice and equity in health for all.

This text tells the story of Robben Island. For more than four centuries it has been a place of banishment, exile and imprisonment but, since the 1960s, it has become an international symbol of the brutality of apartheid on one hand and of human dignity on the other.

Woolworth heiress Barbara Hutton's life is usually painted as tragic, but there were triumphs as well. She was a creative, intelligent woman, well-educated and well-traveled, a connoisseur of the arts, and an insightful writer (as her journals and these poems illustrate). She possessed an insatiable curiosity about people and a surprising amount of compassion for a person born of her station in the era in which she came of age.throughout her life she was alternately known as the "Poor Little Rich Girl" and "The Million-Dollar Baby (From the Five-and-Ten-Cent Store)." Less known was the fact that the Woolwroth heiress was a gifted amateur poet who self-published two volumes of her writing: THE ENCHANTED in 1934, and THE WAYFARER in 1957. Barbara had her first volume of verse, entitled THE ENCHANTED, self-published under the name "Barbara Mdivani" by R. Maclehose & Co., a small press unofficially affiliated with the University of Glasgow. THE ENCHANTED appeared shortly before her twenty-second birthday. Dean Southern Jennings, in his 1968 biography of Barbara, wrote, "Anyone interested in analysing the complex personality of that was and is Barbara Hutton would find innumerable clues in this book. All the disillusionment, the self-recrimination, the sadness and loneliness of Barbara Hutton are mirrored in THE ENCHANTED--perhaps the Disenchanted would have been more apt--and if she ever felt temptedto produce an autobiography, which seems unlikely, she could very well say it had already been written." Various accounts state THE ENCHANTED was printed in an edition of either fifty, seventy-five or two hundred copies (THE WAYFARER was printed in an edition of two hundred copies), all of which Hutton distributed to members of her family and friends. Because of the of copies of THE ENCHANTED and THE WAYFARER Barbara's skills as a writer have gone largely unseen and unknown; in fact, with the exception of excerpts froma few of the verses reproduced in biographies such as C. David Heymann's POOR LITTLE RICH GIRL: THE LIFE AND LEGEND OF BARBARA HUTTON they have remained hidden for nearly six decades. This then marks the first time that Barbara Hutton's poetry is being widely distributed and as a result the first time her talents have a real audience. We sincerely hope you enjoy these poems.
