Jeremiah Noah Morris y la epidemiología social
No full textThis article explores the life and work of Jeremiah Noah Morris (1910–2009), a pioneer in social epidemiology. Morris advocated for a social interpretation of health and disease, emphasizing the impact of social inequalities on morbidity and mortality. His work, Uses of epidemiology, promoted the study of chronic diseases from a population-based perspective. He contributed to the development of the Black report in 1980, which highlighted health inequalities in the United Kingdom, and to the concept of a “minimum income for a healthy life.” His research linked physical activity to the prevention of coronary diseases, and he championed the role of community physicians in public health care. Morris saw epidemiology as a historical science oriented towards solving practical problems, and in doing so he showed an openness to other knowledge, including researchers from different disciplines, which allowed him to approach the complexity of social problems. This article reviews his contributions and key debates, addressing the relevance of his ideas in today’s context and the apparent neglect of his legacy in modern epidemiology.Este artículo explora la vida y la obra de Jeremiah Noah Morris (1910-2009), un pionero en la epidemiología social. Morris fue un defensor de la interpretación social de la salud y la enfermedad, destacando el impacto de las desigualdades sociales en la morbimortalidad. Su obra Uses of epidemiology impulsó el estudio de enfermedades crónicas desde una perspectiva poblacional. Participó en la elaboración del Black Report en 1980, que evidenció las desigualdades en salud en el Reino Unido, y en el desarrollo del concepto de “ingreso mínimo para una vida sana”. Sus investigaciones relacionaron la actividad física con la prevención de enfermedades coronarias, y defendió la función del médico general en la atención de salud pública. Morris consideró la epidemiología como una ciencia histórica destinada a la resolución de preguntas prácticas, y en ese accionar demostró una actitud abierta ante otros saberes, convocando investigadores que desde diferentes disciplinas le permitían aproximarse a la complejidad de los problemas sociales. Este artículo revisa sus contribuciones y debates claves, abordando la relevancia de sus postulados en el contexto actual y el aparente olvido de su legado en la epidemiología moderna

William Morris Papers
No full textEnglish author, designer, manufacturer, and artist William Morris (1834-1896) is best known for his association with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and as a central figure of the English Arts and Crafts Movement. He was influential in the emergence of socialism in England in the nineteenth century, having founded the Socialist League in 1884. Morris's more well known works include The Defence of Guenevere and Other Poems (1858), The Earthly Paradise (18681870), A Dream of John Ball (1892) and News from Nowhere (1893). In 1891, Morris founded the Kelmscott Press, which produced books modeled after fifteenth-century incunabula. The press produced 53 titles during its 7-year operation. His 1896 edition of the Works of Geoffrey Chaucer, called the Kelmscott Chaucer, is often regarded a pinnacle of book design. The collection includes correspondence from Sydney Cockerell, Jane Morris, and William Morris, a manuscript of poetry by Stopford Augustus Brooke, and nine reels of microfilm of the British Library's William Morris papers
