- Summary:
- "This book brings together methods and concepts from the history of medicine, architecture, urban planning, and environmental protection. It distills the emergence of a distinct socialist model of public health and welfare in the late nineteenth century, in the international socialist context of the Second International, and traces how that model developed in the Soviet Union in relation to domestic, transnational, and international events-from Stalinism to the Thaw and World War II to the Cold War"-- Provided by publisher
