published its latestissue and we thought it might be of interest to<br>this group. For this special issue on Social Medicine & War, Dr. Vic<br>Sidel served as guest editor. We are publishing papers examining the<br>
Civil War in Nepal, the ongoing health impact of the Spanish Civil<br>War and violence along the border between 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<br>not - 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<br>
during the Depression. The Pioneer Health Center was designed around<br>the idea of studying (and fostering) what makes people healthy, rather<br>than what makes them sick.<br><br>We invite you to review the Table of Contents here and then visit our<br>
