This comprehensive volume examines how science, technology, medicine, politics, economics, society, culture, and the environment have evolved in the absence of widespread infectious disease. Through a global lens, the book delves into the triumphs and tensions of the modern world, highlighting both the opportunities and the new challenges that have emerged. It offers a nuanced portrait of a world where humanity’s ingenuity has conquered old threats, only to face new complexities—climate change, inequality, conflict, and the quest for meaning and connection. Drawing on lessons from the past and present, the book invites readers to reflect on the future and the responsibilities that come with progress.

  Memoirs of a White Elephant

  We are told by writers of antiquity that elephants have written sentences in Greek, and that one of them was even known to speak. There is, therefore, nothing unreasonable in the supposition that the White Elephant of this history, the famous Iravata" so celebrated throughout Asia, should have written his own memoirs.The story of his long existence—at times so glorious, and at other times so full of misfortune—in the kingdom of Siam, and the India of the Maharajahs and the English, is full of most curious and interesting adventure.After being almost worshipped as an idol, Iravata becomes a warrior; he is made prisoner with his master, whose life he saves, and whom he assists to escape.Later he is deemed worthy to be the guardian and companion of the lovely little Princess Parvati, for whose amusement he invents wonderful games, and to whom he renders a loving service.We see how a wicked sentiment having crept into the heart of the faithful Elephant, usually so wise and good, he is separated for a long time from his beloved Princess, and meets with painful and trying experiences.But at last he once more finds his devoted friend the Princess, and her forgiveness restores him to happiness." - Summary by the author's foreword

  The remarkable story of the cartographic masterpiece—the Venetian mappa mundi—that revolutionized how we see the world.In 1459 a Venetian monk named Fra Mauro completed an astonishing map of the world. Seven feet in diameter, Fra Mauro's mappamundi is the oldest and most complete Medieval map to survive into modernity. And in its time, this groundbreaking mappamundi provided the most detailed description of the known world, incorporating accurate observation, and geographic reality, urging viewers to see water and land as they really existed. Fra Mauro's map was the first in history to show that a ship could circumnavigate Africa, and that the Indian "Sea" was in fact an ocean, enabling international trade to expand across the globe. Acclaimed anthropologist Meredith F. Small reveals how Fra Mauro's mappamundi made cartography into a science rather than a practice based on religion and ancient myths.Here Begins the Dark Sea brings Fra Mauro's masterpiece to life as a work of art and a window into Venetian society and culture. In telling the story of this cornerstone of modern cartography, Small takes the listener on a fascinating journey as she explores the human urge to find our way. Here Begins the Dark Sea is a riveting testament to the undeniable impact Fra Mauro and his mappamundi have had over the past five centuries and still holds relevance today.

  What if... a rogue planet grazed the Earth? the Earth left its orbit? the Earth stopped rotating? a meteorite crashed into the middle of the Atlantic Ocean? the Sun suddenly went out? a supervolcano erupted in the United States? humanity fell victim to a giant solar storm? a neutron star hurtled towards Earth? a black hole the size of a soccer ball grazed Earth? the star Betelgeuse exploded into a supernova? 
  
  These are eleven apocalyptic scenarios exploring an unlikely but possible future. All of these extraordinary events are scientifically credible. Some of these catastrophes have even already occurred in the recent past. Proof of this can be found in the meteorite that crashed into the Yucatán and wiped out the dinosaurs...
