  Global Health - Global health is a field that aims to improve health and achieve equity in health for people around the world. It involves understanding health issues that go beyond national boundaries and are influenced by conditions in various parts of the globe. The primary goal of global health is to reduce health disparities and enhance well-being on an international level by examining how diseases spread, what factors affect health, and the most effective methods to improve public health outcomes. 
  Immunology - The immune system is a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to defend the body against harmful pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. Its primary function is to identify and eliminate foreign invaders while distinguishing them from the body's own healthy cells. This ability to recognize self from non-self is crucial for maintaining overall health and preventing disease.

It encompasses a broad range of disciplines, including biology, chemistry, pharmacology, and environmental science, and is essential for understanding the impact of toxins on human health and the environment.

The narrative traces their journey from their early years in Israel to their influential work in the United States, revealing how their joint efforts exposed the systematic errors and biases in human thinking.

  "Journalist Hayley Campbell explores the often hidden world of those who work closely with death, finding compassion in unexpected settings. Campbell’s British accent and matter-of-fact delivery take the listener on a tour of mortuaries, postmortem experimentation, death-mask artistry, crime-scene cleaning, and executions, among others. Her morbid fascination is evident in her tone as she sheds light on curiosities surrounding a subject that is foreign to many people. Ultimately, Campbell calls for a closer relationship to death, less mystery surrounding this universal passage, and a reduction of fear through greater understanding."- AudioFile on All the Living and the Dead"Campbell is a probing investigator whose tone is always even, quietly emphasizing that death is the most natural thing in the world."- BookpageThis audiobook is read by the author.A deeply compelling exploration of the death industry and the people—morticians, detectives, crime scene cleaners, embalmers, executioners—who work in it and what led them there.We are surrounded by death. It is in our news, our nursery rhymes, our true-crime podcasts. Yet from a young age, we are told that death is something to be feared. How are we supposed to know what we’re so afraid of, when we are never given the chance to look?Fueled by a childhood fascination with death, journalist Hayley Campbell searches for answers in the people who make a living by working with the dead. Along the way, she encounters mass fatality investigators, embalmers, and a former executioner who is responsible for ending sixty-two lives. She meets gravediggers who have already dug their own graves, visits a cryonics facility in Michigan, goes for late-night Chinese with a homicide detective, and questions a man whose job it is to make crime scenes disappear.Through Campbell’s incisive and candid interviews with these people who see death every day, she asks: Why would someone choose this kind of life? Does it change you as a person? And are we missing something vital by letting death remain hidden? A dazzling work of cultural criticism, All the Living and the Dead weaves together reportage with memoir, history, and philosophy, to offer listeners a fascinating look into the psychology of Western death.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Press.
