The EMHJ was launched in 1995 as a peer-reviewed medical journal. Starting January 2010 the Journal has been given a new format and is now published monthly. The EMHJ serves as a forum for the dissemination of biomedical information through the publication of scientific research papers on a range of topics related to public health with particular relevance to the Eastern Mediterranean Region. In this month's issue: Editorial: Benefits and pitfalls of social health insurance in pursuit of universal health coverage: lessons for the Eastern Mediterranean; Pattern of cigarette and waterpipe smokin

Mediterranean islands exhibit many similarities in their biotic ecological, physical and environmental characteristics. There are also many differences in terms of their human colonization and current anthropogenic pressures. This book addresses in three sections these characteristics and examines the major environmental changes that the islands experienced during the Quaternary period. The first section provides details on natural and cultural factors which have shaped island landscapes. It describes the environmental and cultural changes of the Holocene and their effects on biota, as well as on the current human pressures that are now threats to the sustainability of the island communities. The second section focuses on the landscapes of the largest islands namely Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica, Cyprus, Crete, Malta and the Balearics. Each island chapter includes a special topic reflecting a particular characteristic of the island. Part three presents strategies for action towards sustainability in Mediterranean islands and concludes with a comparison between the largest islands. Despite several published books on Mediterranean ecosystems/landscapes there is no existing book dealing with Mediterranean islands in a collective manner. Students, researchers and university lecturers in environmental science, geography, biology and ecology will find this work invaluable as a cross-disciplinary text while planners and politicians will welcome the succinct summaries as background material to planning decisions.

Des jardins d’Adonis aux tiroirs des apothicaires et aux boutiques des commerçants, les herbes, drogues et épices ont toujours nourri les rêves et entretenu les comptes. Elles furent l’objet d’une curiosité particulière puis d’un engouement et d’un commerce aussi actif que lucratif ; la cause aussi de grandes rivalités entre marchands. Ainsi les retrouvons-nous dans les livres de commerçants juifs, dans les souks du Caire, dans les entrepôts de Smyrne, dans les cales des clippers américains ou dans les containers du port de Marseille. Mythes et réalités se côtoient dans cet ouvrage comme ils furent toujours liés dans le quotidien à travers les siècles et les continents. Par les aspects économiques mais aussi botaniques, sociaux et culturels de leur histoire, se précise le rôle important qu’ont tenu et que tiennent encore les Herbes, Drogues et Epices dans les sociétés méditerranéennes. L’Institut de Recherches Méditerranéennes d’Aix-en- Provence et la Chambre de Commerce et d’Industrie de Marseille ont entrepris depuis une décennie l’étude des grands produits de consommation tels le café, l’huile d’olive, le sucre, les céréales, qui, malgré leur usage quotidien, restent finalement peu ou mal connus du public.
