  ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
  “1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus by Charles C. Mann explores the complex and sophisticated societies of the Americas before the arrival of Europeans. Drawing on new archaeological and historical research, Mann challenges the traditional view of pre-Columbian civilizations as primitive and isolated. The book examines the environmental impact of indigenous peoples, their agricultural innovations, and the vast networks of trade and governance they established. With a focus on demography, ecology, and technology, Mann reveals how these societies shaped the landscape and offers a fresh perspective on the history of the Americas.

  Infectious diseases have long been a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with their impact felt in both developed and developing countries. These diseases are caused by harmful microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites, which invade the body and disrupt normal functions. The nature of infectious diseases varies widely, from the mild common cold to severe and life-threatening conditions such as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and COVID-19. Understanding the factors that contribute to the spread of infections, the mechanisms through which they affect the body, and the ways to diagnose, treat, and prevent them is vital for public health efforts and individual well-being. 
  The transmission of infectious diseases can occur through various routes, including direct contact with infected individuals, airborne transmission, contaminated food and water, and vector-borne transmission through insects. The ease with which infectious diseases spread makes them a persistent global concern, particularly in areas with limited access to healthcare, sanitation, and clean water. Environmental factors such as climate change, urbanization, and population movement further exacerbate the spread of diseases, often leading to epidemics and pandemics. 
  Advancements in medical science and public health have enabled significant progress in diagnosing and treating infectious diseases. Early detection through diagnostic tools such as laboratory testing and imaging allows for more targeted interventions. In addition to traditional treatments, the development of vaccines has revolutionized disease prevention, providing immunity against some of the most dangerous pathogens. However, challenges such as antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and emerging infectious diseases continue to pose threats to global health, necessitating ongoing research and innovation in both treatment and prevention strategies.

  DSM - A History of Psychiatry's...

  The first comprehensive history of "psychiatry's bible"—the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. 
   
   
   
  Over the past seventy years, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or DSM, has evolved from a virtually unknown and little-used pamphlet to an imposing and comprehensive compendium of mental disorder. Its nearly 300 conditions have become the touchstones for the diagnoses that patients receive, students are taught, researchers study, insurers reimburse, and drug companies promote. Although the manual is portrayed as an authoritative corpus of psychiatric knowledge, it is a product of intense political conflicts, dissension, and factionalism. The manual results from struggles among psychiatric researchers and clinicians, different mental health professions, and a variety of patient, familial, feminist, gay, and veterans' interest groups. The DSM is fundamentally a social document that both reflects and shapes the professional, economic, and cultural forces associated with its use. 
   
   
   
  In DSM, Allan V. Horwitz examines how the manual, known colloquially as "psychiatry's bible," has been at the center of thinking about mental health in the United States since its original publication in 1952.
