Book Description
Media matters. From encouraging charitable donations and delivering public health messages to promoting democratic participation and state accountability, the media can play a crucial role in development. Yet the influence of the media is not always welcome. It can also be used as a mechanism of surveillance and control or to disseminate hate speech and propaganda. How then should we respond to the growing importance of the media - including journalism, radio, television, community media and social media - for poverty and inequality? The first step is to acquire an informed and critical understanding of the multiple roles that the media can have in development. To help achieve this, this book provides concise and original introductions to the study and practice of communication for development (C4D), media development and media representations of development. In doing so it highlights the increasing importance of the media, whilst at the same time emphasising the varieties, complexities and contingencies of its role in social change. The broad and interdisciplinary focus of this book will make it attractive to anyone with an interest in media, communication, development, politics and social change.

Book Description
TB and AIDS are visiting and touching many homes in both the developed and developing countries leaving misery, suffering, orphans and in many cases death, that could have been prevented and avoided. This book is for the AIDucators that have participated in driving AIDucation 20-10 in the communities of London. It is for those friends that I had social intercourses with on those Friday and Saturday evenings. It is for the health promoters, the politicians, the pastors, the ministers, the imams, the teachers, the students, the youth, the volunteers, the carers and all those who want to make a difference and bring TB and AIDS under control. The book addresses basic issues that we need to know: Facts on HIV infections, AIDS and TB; the HIV test, voluntary counselling and testing (VCT); common sexually transmitted infections; common HIV associated conditions and the popular Isle of Wight powerpoint presentation that was given to the Christian youths at their summer camp in August 2009. This book might be useful to medical students and nursing students.

Book Description
The Social Security Administration (SSA) uses a screening tool called the Listing of Impairments to identify claimants who are so severely impaired that they cannot work at all and thus qualify for disability benefits. In this report, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) makes several recommendations for improving SSA's capacity for determining disability benefits more accurately and quickly using the HIV Infection Listings.
