Environmental Medicine


Book Description

People are increasingly concerned about potential environmental health hazards and often ask their physicians questions such as: "Is the tap water safe to drink?" "Is it safe to live near power lines?" Unfortunately, physicians often lack the information and training related to environmental health risks needed to answer such questions. This book discusses six competency based learning objectives for all medical school students, discusses the relevance of environmental health to specific courses and clerkships, and demonstrates how to integrate environmental health into the curriculum through published case studies, some of which are included in one of the book's three appendices. Also included is a guide on where to obtain additional information for treatment, referral, and follow-up for diseases with possible environmental and/or occupational origins.




Medicine Paint


Book Description

A stunning retrospective of the late Cree artist Dale Auger, featuring more than 150 of his most powerful and inspiring oil paintings. Dale Auger was a gifted interpreter of Cree culture, using the cross-cultural medium of art to portray scenes from the everyday to the sacred and dissemble stereotypes about Indigenous Peoples. His use of bold, bright colours in oil painting explore the intricate links between spirituality and the natural laws of the land. Birds, beasts, and human forms are carried from the dreamworld onto canvas, their spirits channelled through his paintbrush and presented in brilliant yellows, mystic blues, vibrant reds, and swirls of black. Medicine Paint is an epic collection of Auger’s best work, reproduced in glorious colour and reflecting the evolution of the artist’s distinctive style. Including a revealing look back at his life and professional development, the book is a stunning tribute to this master artist, who passed away in 2008. "
