Arthur Newsholme crossed the Atlantic to tell American audiences how dirt breeds disease and how a nation might insure against both. His addresses range over cholera, typhoid and the economics of caring for the sick. A thoughtful record of transatlantic public-health thinking. Hear a leading reformer make the case for collective health.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
