  Stalking the Great Killer is the story of Arkansas's struggle to control tuberculosis, and how the state became a model in its treatment of the disease. 
   
   
   
  To place the story of tuberculosis in Arkansas in historical perspective, the authors trace the origins of the disease. Arkansas suffered some of the worst ravages of the disease, and the authors argue that many of the improvements in the state's medical infrastructure grew out of the desperate need to control it. 
   
   
   
  In the early twentieth century, Arkansas established a sanatorium and thirty years later, the segregated Black sanitorium. These institutions helped slow the disease but at a cost: removed from families and communities, patients suffered from the isolation. Joseph Bates saw this when he delivered an uncle to the sanitorium in the 1940s. In the 1960s, Bates, now a physician, and his colleague Paul Reagan overcame a resistant medical-political system to develop a new approach to treating the disease. 
   
   
   
  In the age of Covid-19, this history offers valuable lessons about community involvement in public health, the potential efficacy of public-private partnerships, and the importance of leadership in the battle to eradicate disease.

  Inconvenient Apocalypse An -...

  Wes Jackson, Robert Jensen

  For decades, our world has understood that we are on the brink of an apocalypse—yet the only implemented solutions have been small and convenient, feel-good initiatives that avoid unpleasant truths about the root causes of our impending disaster. Wes Jackson and Robert Jensen argue that we must reconsider the origins of the consumption crisis and the challenges we face in creating a survivable future. Longstanding assumptions about economic growth and technological progress—the dream of a future of endless bounty—are no longer tenable. The climate crisis has already progressed beyond nondisruptive solutions. The end result will be apocalyptic; the only question now is how bad it will be. 
   
   
   
  Jackson and Jensen examine how geographic determinism shaped our past and led to today's social injustice, consumerist culture, and high-energy/high-technology dystopias. The solution requires addressing today's systemic failures and confronting human nature by recognizing the limits of our ability to predict how those failures will play out over time. Though these massive challenges can feel overwhelming, the coauthors weave a secular reading of theological concepts—the prophetic, the apocalyptic, a saving remnant, and grace—to chart a realistic path for humanity not only to survive our apocalypse but also to emerge with a renewed appreciation of the larger living world.
