Sinopsis

"Rain Smells Alive" explores the captivating science behind petrichor, that distinctive earthy scent after rainfall. It reveals that this aroma isn't just wet soil, but a complex interplay of biology, chemistry, and atmospheric science. The book highlights the crucial role of soil bacteria, particularly Streptomyces, in producing geosmin, a key volatile organic compound that contributes to petrichor. Discover how environmental factors influence the production and release of these compounds, connecting microbial ecology with our sensory experiences. This book uniquely bridges disciplines to explain the origins of petrichor. It begins by tracing the history of petrichor research and then delves into the biology of Streptomyces, detailing the production of geosmin. Readers will learn about the chemical composition of petrichor and how these compounds disperse through the atmosphere. Understanding petrichor provides insights into ecological processes, and the book progresses to discuss potential applications in environmental monitoring and agriculture.

    A crucial component of anti-Black racism is the unconscionable disparity in health outcomes between Black and white Americans. Sickening examines this institutionalized inequality through dramatic, concrete events from the past two decades, revealing how unequal living conditions and inadequate medical care have become routine. 
     
     
     
    From the spike in chronic disease after Hurricane Katrina to the lack of protection for Black residents during the Flint water crisis—and even the life-threatening childbirth experience for tennis star Serena Williams—author Anne Pollock takes listeners on a journey through the diversity of anti-Black racism operating in healthcare. She goes beneath the surface to deconstruct the structures that make these events possible, including mass incarceration, police brutality, and the hypervisibility of Black athletes' bodies. Ultimately, Sickening shows what these shocking events reveal about the everyday racialization of health in the United States. 
     
     
     
    Concluding with an examination of racialized healthcare during the COVID pandemic and the Black Lives Matter rebellions of 2020, Sickening cuts through the mind-numbing statistics to vividly portray healthcare inequalities. In a gripping style, Pollock shows the devastating reality and consequences of systemic racism on the lives and health of Black Americans.
