About this product
Product Information
As the founder of the Occupational Safety and Health Act and the first woman faculty member of Harvard University, Alice Hamilton will be remembered for her contributions to public health and her remarkable career. Born and raised in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Hamilton attended several medical schools contributing to her lifelong dedication to learning. Focusing on the investigation of the health and safety conditions ? or rather lack thereof ? in the nation's factories and mines during the second decade of the twentieth century, her discoveries led to factory and mine level-initiated reforms, and to city, state, and federal reform legislation. It also led to a greater recognition in the nation's universities for formal academic programs in industrial and public health. In 1919 the Harvard officials considered Hamilton the best qualified person in the country to lead their effort in this area. The Education of Alice Hamilton is an inspiring story of a woman dedicated to erudition and helping others.

Reviews
"This volume is valuable just for its windows--through a series of 40 photographs, a comprehensive table of honors and awards Hamilton received, and an extensive bibliography of other source material--into the formative years of our field and the life of a pathbreaking woman in academia. But the authors have brought Hamilton into the present moment through their careful synthesis of how she came to occupational epidemiology and remained absolutely faithful to science and to evidence-based advocacy at its best."--Adam M. Finkel, ScD, CIH, AJPH Book & Media, This volume is valuable just for its windows--through a series of 40 photographs, a comprehensive table of honors and awards Hamilton received, and an extensive bibliography of other source material--into the formative years of our field and the life of a pathbreaking woman in academia.

A pleasant overall experience! They had a rather hard-to-find book on Persian calligraphy for a good price and free shipping. The status said shipped before any tracking was uploaded so I messaged them the next day to ask them to provide a tracking number. They never responded, but tracking was added to my eBay details that night. It took about five days to get here to Los Angeles from LaVergne, Tennessee and came in a strong, secure envelope. The book was in good condition and as described.
