Sinopsis

Lens Optical Power unveils the remarkable story of lenses, those ubiquitous yet profound pieces of technology that have reshaped our understanding of the world. From their humble beginnings as simple magnifiers to their sophisticated applications in medicine, microscopy, and telescopes, lenses have driven scientific discovery and enhanced human vision. One intriguing fact is how early lens crafting relied on trial and error with glassmaking, a far cry from today's precision optical engineering.

The book explores the fundamental principles of optics, tracing the historical evolution of lenses and their applications. It begins with basic concepts like refraction, then progresses through history, highlighting pivotal moments such as the invention of the telescope and microscope during the Renaissance, which opened up entirely new worlds.

A significant portion examines the transformative role of lenses in vision enhancement and medical optics, including advancements in diagnostics and surgical procedures. By linking the history of lenses with their scientific applications, Lens Optical Power provides a comprehensive overview of this vital technology.

The book argues that the lens is one of humanity's most impactful inventions, a claim supported by its pervasive influence across diverse fields. It concludes by looking towards the future, discussing cutting-edge developments like adaptive optics and metamaterials, and their potential to revolutionize vision and technology.

This approach makes the book valuable to anyone seeking to understand the profound impact of lenses on human perception, scientific discovery, and medical progress.

A Year of Ebola

David Brett-Major

Who should read this book? Someone on their way out the door for their first or an early career health emergency and disaster risk management (HEDRM) experience, regardless of role, or someone who is trying to support one who is, or who does it all of the time and wants to know that they are not alone 
What does this book tell the reader? It provides the shock of jumping into the cold water of health emergency and disaster risk management (HEDRM), without the risk of drowning; it focuses on practical aspects of the experience of doing the work that guidelines and playbooks (as important as they are) do not address 
Who else might be interested in this book? People keen to understand how HEDRM happens in the context of highly communicable diseases, or about how global public health, emergencies, aid, and development mix, or medical history... the technical and contextual curious 
Who should NOT read this book? Anyone who is looking for gory details 
What is the main strength of this book? It is a raw view of the experience of conducting such responses at the clinical: public health interface, with some lessons durable across emergencies 
What is the main weakness of this book? It carries all of the biases of such experiences. There is a lot not said; the book has snapshots and cannot relate the 10,000,000 events during the year not described 
What is new in the 2024 edition? In print and e-book, overdue editing without loss of content, a forward that reflects on the COVID-19 pandemic in the context of themes in the book, and in the print edition available on www.amazon.com, a series of essays stepping back and exploring the ways in which people interact with the threat of infectious diseases that defines our willingness and readiness to meet them
