<div class="gmail_quote">From: <b class="gmail_sendername">Matthew Anderson</b> <span dir="ltr"><a href="mailto:bronxdoc@gmail.com">bronxdoc@gmail.com</a></span><br><br><br>Social Medicine has just published its latest issue. For this special issue<br>
on Social Medicine & War, Dr. Vic Sidel served as guest editor. We are<br>publishing papers examining the Civil War in Nepal, the ongoing health<br>impact of the Spanish Civil War and violence along the border between<br>
Colombia and Ecuador.<br><br>In August of 2009, the WHO's Commission on the Social Determinants of<br>Health issued a bold call to eliminate health disparities within a<br>generation. Three articles in this issue look at what has - and has not -<br>
happened in the intervening year.<br><br>We are also very pleased to publish three classic texts describing the<br>Peckham Experiment, an innovative community center built in England during<br>the Depression. The Pioneer Health Center was designed around the idea of<br>
studying (and fostering) what makes people healthy, rather than what makes<br>them sick.<br><br>We invite you to review the Table of Contents here and then visit our web<br>site to review articles and items of interest: <a href="http://www.socialmedicine.info/" target="_blank">www.socialmedicine.info</a>.
