In this chapter, we explore ways in which urban environments and urban lifestyles are bad for human health. We discuss the urban health penalty historically, presenting a case study of how London solved its urban health penalty over the centuries. We then move on to discuss the aspects of the urban health penalty that remain in today’s cities, with a focus on obesity and mental health disorders. Finally, we discuss in depth the potential causes of the urban psychological penalty. We argue that of these three environmental stressors are most amenable to mitigation by municipal officials, but that to some extent the urban psychological penalty is an inevitable consequence of the increased interaction inherent in urban life.

Rogers-Stokes concludes her study of the records of trial from Thomas Shepard’s church in Cambridge, Massachusetts, by calling attention to the need to read and engage with primary sources objectively, and with curiosity, rather than through the often warped lens of secondary scholarship. She offers several examples of modern historians who allow primary sources to speak for themselves, and by doing so present more accurate, factual, and compelling historical studies. Rogers-Stokes urges scholars to explore the wealth of primary sources being made available through digital history projects and collections with open minds and a readiness to be surprised by what they find.

It should come as no surprise that the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch contain a built-in camera with the Photos application to help you manage the pictures and videos you’ve taken (see Figure 21-1). What you may not know is that your programs can use the built-in camera to take pictures. Your applications can also allow the user to select from among and view the media already stored on the device. We’ll look at both of these abilities in this chapter.

Over the course of the next few chapters, we’ll build some hierarchical navigation-based applications similar to the Mail application that ships on iOS devices. Applications of this type, usually called master-detail applications, allow the user to drill down into nested lists of data and edit that data. But before we can build these types of applications, we’ll need to master the concept of table views.
