Health at the Gateway: Problems and International Obligations of a Seaport City
Hope, E. W.
Originally published in 1931, this book looks at the challenges associated with maintaining public health in a port city. Professor Hope, taking Liverpool as his example, stresses the importance of preventative measures in preserving the health of the city at large, the treatment of immigrants with pre-existing medical conditions and the impact of public health legislation.
