Summary

Polar Disease explores the intersection of infectious diseases and Earth's polar regions, highlighting the risks posed by both ancient pathogens and contemporary health challenges. As climate change thaws permafrost, there's a growing concern about the re-emergence of viruses and bacteria trapped for centuries. The book uniquely emphasizes the interplay between these ancient threats and the modern diseases impacting isolated Arctic and Antarctic communities, illustrating how factors like climate change and increased human activity contribute to global health security risks.

 
The book progresses from foundational principles of virology and epidemiology to historical outbreaks and present-day challenges, including respiratory and zoonotic diseases, alongside the mental health impacts of living in harsh, isolated conditions. It presents evidence from diverse sources, such as scientific literature, historical records, and interviews with scientists and indigenous community members.

 
A key insight is the exploration of paleovirology, revealing the potential for long-dormant pathogens to re-emerge and impact the modern world.

 
Finally, the book addresses mitigation strategies, public health preparedness, and ethical considerations for research in vulnerable polar regions.

Empire of Normality -...

Robert Chapman

'Groundbreaking . . . [provides] a deep history of the invention of the "normal" mind as one of the most damaging and oppressive tools of capitalism. To read it is to see the world more clearly' Steve Silberman, author of NeuroTribes 
 
 
 
Neurodiversity is on the rise. Awareness and diagnoses have exploded in recent years, but we are still missing a wider understanding of how we got here and why. Beyond simplistic narratives of normativity and difference, this groundbreaking book exposes the very myth of the 'normal' brain as a product of intensified capitalism. 
 
 
 
Exploring the rich histories of the neurodiversity and disability movements, Robert Chapman shows how the rise of capitalism created an 'empire of normality' that transformed our understanding of the body into that of a productivity machine. Neurodivergent liberation is possible—but only by challenging the deepest logics of capitalism. Empire of Normality is an essential guide to understanding the systems that shape our bodies, minds, and deepest selves—and how we can undo them.
