In the early nineteenth century in the United States, cancer in the breast was a rare disease. Now it seems that breast cancer is everywhere. Written by a medical historian who is also a doctor, Unnatural History tells how and why this happened. Rather than there simply being more disease, breast cancer has entered the bodies of so many American women and the concerns of nearly all the rest, mostly as a result of how we have detected, labeled, and responded to the disease. The book traces changing definitions and understandings of breast cancer, the experience of breast cancer sufferers, clinical and public health practices, and individual and societal fears.

Industry Reviews

"The topic of blockades has a rich historiography of varying viewpoints. Davis and Engerman have produced a work that contributes to our understanding of one of the most complex endeavors in both war and peace." -Eric W. Osborne, Virgina Military Institute "...those in search of detailed information about the economic consequences of modern naval blockades may regard this as their one-stop shop." -John Beeler, H-War "It is a pleasure...to read an analysis by two very distinguished economic historians,...Their economic history of a prominent type of naval warfare is of great value, not only for what it achieves in itself, but for the example it offers of how to integrate forms of history that are still too often studied in isolation from one another." -N.A.M. Rodger The International Review of Books "Naval Blockades in Peace and War addresses an area if naval warfare which has had few specific studies. Its broad scope includes useful discussions of the legal aspects of blackades and embargoes and of how these principles have been applied - or more often ignored. The book is, therefore, stimulating and its extensive statistical tables are "value added"...Recommended as a reference for those interested in pursuing further study of this neglected area." -Jan Drent, Victoria, British Columbia, The Northern Mariner
