An analysis of the lessons learned from tuberculosis control in Shanghai. Tuberculosis Control and Institutional Change in Shanghai, 1911-2011 is the first book on the most widespread and deadly infectious disease in China, both historically and today. Weaving together interviews with data from periodicals and local archives in Shanghai, Rachel Core examines the rise and fall of tuberculosis control in China from the 1950s to the 1990s. Under the socialist work unit system, the vast majority of people had guaranteed employment, a host of benefits tied to their workplace, and there was little mobility--factors that made the delivery of medical and public health services possible in both urban and rural areas. The dismantling of work units amid wider market reforms in the 1980s and 1990s led to the rise of temporary and casual employment and a huge migrant worker population, with little access to health care, creating new challenges in TB control.

A compilation of Ting Yin Yung's paintings and other artwork from his life in Hong Kong. University Museum and Art Gallery's exhibition is authoritative in its display of Ting Yin Yung's oil and ink paintings, watercolors, sketches, and seals, all of which cover the most productive decades of his working life in Hong Kong. The project is also highly community-centered, as the development of this project benefited greatly from the input of Ting's students, who continue to treasure their master's passion and the instructive lessons and conversations that nurtured a generation of local artists. A native of Maoming County in Guangdong province, Ting Yin Yung first studied Western painting in Tokyo at the Kawabata Painting School in 1920, and then at the Tokyo School of Fine Arts. He began working in mainland China in 1925, before emigrating to Hong Kong in 1949, where he developed his artistic practice as a painter, seal carver, and greatly admired teacher. Heavily illustrated in full colo
