Summary

"Infectious Disease Control" tackles the urgent issue of managing infectious diseases in an era of rising antimicrobial resistance and emerging pathogens. The book underscores the critical role of public health interventions, epidemiology, and microbiology in combating disease transmission. Highlighting the historical context, it traces the evolution of control measures from sanitation to vaccines, while also examining the alarming increase in antimicrobial resistance due to overuse of antibiotics, impacting our ability to treat common infections. Social and economic factors that influence disease susceptibility are also considered. The book uniquely advocates for a multi-faceted approach, emphasizing the need to strengthen surveillance systems, promote responsible antimicrobial use through antimicrobial stewardship, and enhance infection control practices within healthcare settings. By integrating these strategies, the book argues, we can more effectively combat resistant organisms and prepare for future pandemics. Progressing through its chapters, the book first establishes a scientific foundation with core concepts, then explores specific control strategies like vaccination programs, and concludes with a discussion of emerging diseases, pandemic preparedness, and ethical considerations. This resource is designed for public health professionals, healthcare providers, and students, presenting evidence-based strategies and case studies to illustrate best practices. It uniquely emphasizes systems thinking and collaboration across various sectors—healthcare, agriculture, education—to address infectious disease control comprehensively. The approach blends academic rigor with practical application, making it accessible to a broad audience.

The Ultraview Effect - What We...

Deana L. Weibel

What astronauts' extraordinary experiences of awe and humility teach us about humanity. What is it like to stand in the shadow of Earth and the Moon and look out at the vastness of the Milky Way? To confront a view so grand it cannot be reproduced in a photo? These are the questions space anthropologist Deana L. Weibel asked as she interviewed astronauts and others in the space community. What they told her was not just surprising but also deeply moving. When gazing into star fields not fully visible from Earth, these astronauts experienced a profound sense of humility that fundamentally transformed their understanding of humanity. Welcome to the ultraview effect. The ultraview effect expands on the classic "overview effect." Comparing spacefarers to religious pilgrims, Weibel suggests that this experience of deep humility is a generative reaction to awe, which inspires exploration and adventure. When facing the vastness of the universe, acknowledging our monumental ignorance is what drives our will to discover. A fascinating dive into science, cognition, and spirituality, The Ultraview Effect draws from astronauts' own accounts to make the case that continued human space exploration is not only a scientifically essential endeavor but also a culturally enriching one.

Exploring the Britannic - The...

Simon Mills

A revelatory and wide-ranging exploration of HMS Britannic—her life at sea and on the seabed—by the owner of her wreck. 
 
 
 
Launched in 1914, two years after the ill-fated voyage of her sister ship, RMS Titanic, the Britannic was intended to be superior to her tragic twin in every way. But war intervened and in 1915 she was requisitioned as a hospital ship. Just one year later, while on her way to collect troops wounded in the Balkans campaign, she fell victim to a mine laid by a German U-boat and tragically sank in the middle of the Aegean Sea. 
 
 
 
There her wreck lay, at a depth of 400 feet, until it was discovered fifty-nine years later by legendary explorer Jacques Cousteau. In 1996 the wreck was bought by the author of this book, Simon Mills. 
 
 
 
Exploring the Britannic tells the complete story of this enigmatic ship: her construction, launch and life, her fateful last voyage, and the historical findings resulting from the exploration of the well-preserved wreck over a period of forty years. This book finally details how the mysteries surrounding the 100-year-old enigma were laid to rest, and what the future might also hold for her.

Unsettling - Surviving...

Elizabeth Weinberg

The time has come to reimagine our relationship to the environment before it is too late.As wildfires char the American West, extreme weather transforms landscapes, glaciers retreat, and climate zones shift, we are undeniably experiencing the effects of the climate crisis in more and more destructive ways. Climate change is impacting every inhabited region of the world, but there is much we can still do.Unsettling explores human impacts on the environment through science, popular culture, personal narrative, and landscape. Using the stories of animals, landscapes, and people who have exhibited resilience in the face of persistent colonization across the North American continent, science writer Elizabeth Weinberg explores how climate change is a direct result of white supremacy, colonialism, sexism, and heteronormativity. Travel through the deep sea; along Louisiana’s vanishing bayous; down the Colorado, Mississippi, and Potomac rivers; and over the Cascade Mountains, and examine how we as humans, particularly white humans, have drawn a stark line between human and animal, culture and nature, in order to exploit anything and anyone we find useful. With gorgeous and pointed prose, Weinberg weaves together science, personal essay, history, and pop culture to propose a new way of thinking about climate change—one that is rooted in queerness and antiracism.
