By the end of the 19th century, British imperial medical officers and Christian medical missionaries had introduced Western medicine to Tibet, Sikkim, and Bhutan. Their Footprints Remain uses archival sources, personal letters, diaries, and oral sources in order to tell the fascinating story of how this once-new medical system became imbedded in the Himalayas. Of interest to anyone with an interest in medical history and anthropology, as well as the Himalayan world, this volume not only identifies the individuals involved and describes how they helped to spread this form of imperialist medicine, but also discusses its reception by a local people whose own medical practices were based on an entirely different understanding of the world.

Facing one last challenge with a mind and heart full of chatter and nonsense. And no time left for practice and patience. Will a visit to her own past help Goresi discover the way? Also available in the collection Fantastic Side Trips: Side Characters Take Center Stage An excerpt from Footprints Along the Path: Discovering Her Own Way Forward A prickly aroma of delicately sweet magic alerted Goresi before someone spoke. "How did you do that?" She turned to see a short, slender girl with a head full of thick brown hair floating in the breeze. The girl's robe was an intense, rich orange. Only a couple of matching footprint shapes marked the ground around her. Her pale blue eyes were wide, but thank all the powers that be, her expression was more curious and admiring than upset. "I just...well, I figured out how to change the color is all." Goresi knew her cheeks were flaming red, but she wasn't sure why or what to do about it. She hadn't meant to show off or make anyone else feel bad. She was much too familiar with that kind of teasing behavior from her own family to want to pass it along to a stranger. A stranger who grinned and mouthed a silent wow as she took a few steps closer. Steps that didn't show up on the ground at all.

This book discussing in detail the Social Life Cycle Assessment (SLCA) of the global economy using the comprehensive Multi-Regional Input-Output (MRIO) technique. The content is presented in two parts, the first of which offers an introduction to social accounting and how it has been developed over the past few years with details on the methodologies and databases used. The second part of the book describes the footprints of the social accounts that have the highest impact on people’s well-being (employment, income, working conditions,and inequality) and how they are linked to international trade. The need for reporting on such indicators falls within the purview of corporate/national social responsibility (part of the Triple Bottom Line). The book offers a valuable contribution to the literature for researchers and students engaged in the social sciences, human rights, and the implications of international trade on labour in developing countries.iv>
