  A deeply moving narrative of the coronavirus pandemic, told through portraits of eight individuals who worked tirelessly to help others. In March 2020, COVID-19 overtook the United States, and life changed for America. In a matter of weeks the virus impacted millions, with lockdown measures radically reshaping the lives of even those who did not become infected. Yet despite the fear, hardship, and heartbreak from this period of collective struggle, there was hope. In The Helpers, journalist Kathy Gilsinan profiles eight individuals on the frontlines of the coronavirus battle: a devoted son caring for his family in the San Francisco Bay Area; a not-quite-retired paramedic from Colorado; an ICU nurse in the Bronx; the CEO of a Seattle-based ventilator company; a vaccine researcher at Moderna in Boston; a young chef and culinary teacher in Louisville, Kentucky; a physician in Chicago; and a funeral home director in Seattle and Los Angeles. These inspiring individual accounts create an unforgettable tapestry of how people across the country and the socioeconomic spectrum came together to fight the most deadly pandemic in a century.

  Vanishing Life on Earth

  The book is an abridged story of life that we see now and the life forms that 
  existed in the past. Readers can flip through pages of the planet's 
  history and explore the secrets hidden in the fossils scattered across forgotten landscapes. 
  The species we see today are only a tiny fraction of all those that 
  have ever lived on Earth. Most of the species have vanished throughout the Earth's history. 
  The author intersected at five major extinction episodes and narrated 
  selected stories of the lost world while highlighting life's journey on our plants —from tiny 
  microorganisms to massive dinosaurs, mammoths and mastodons, ultimately leading up to humans. 
  Unfortunately, we're now facing a critical moment when Earth’s biodiversity is at risk of being wiped out entirely, 
  and our planet may stop breathing one day. This prompts readers to reflect on what we have done to bring life's 
  diversity to such a vulnerable state. The author concludes the book with future perspectives on how we all can stop the next mass extinction.
