520    "In 2011, Dr. Peter J. Hotez relocated to Houston to 
       launch Baylor's National School of Tropical Medicine. He 
       was shocked to discover that a number of neglected 
       diseases often associated with developing countries were 
       widespread in impoverished Texas communities. Despite the 
       United States' economic prowess and first-world status, an
       estimated 12 million Americans living at the poverty level
       currently suffer from at least one neglected tropical 
       disease, or NTD. Hotez concluded that the world's 
       neglected diseases-which include tuberculosis, hookworm 
       infection, lymphatic filariasis, Chagas disease, and 
       leishmaniasis-are born first and foremost of extreme 
       poverty. In this book, Hotez describes a new global 
       paradigm known as 'blue marble health, ' through which he 
       asserts that poor people living in wealthy countries 
       account for most of the world's poverty-related illness. 
       By crafting public policy and relying on global 
       partnerships to control or eliminate some of the world's 
       worst poverty-related illnesses, Hotez believes, it is 
       possible to eliminate life-threatening disease while at 
       the same time creating unprecedented opportunities for 
       science and diplomacy."--|cProvided by publisher.
