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.

    In Key to the City, legal scholar and architect Sara C. Bronin examines how zoning became such a prevailing force and reveals its impact—and its potential for good. Outdated zoning codes have maintained racial segregation, prioritized cars over people, and enabled great ecological harm. But, as Bronin argues, once we recognize the power of zoning, we can harness it to create the communities we desire, and deserve. Drawing on her own experience leading the overhaul of Hartford's zoning code and exploring the efforts of activists and city planners across the country, Bronin shows how new codes are reshaping our cities—from Baltimore to Chicago, Las Vegas to Minneapolis, and beyond. In Boston, a law fought for by a passionate group of organizers, farmers, and beekeepers is transforming the city into a haven for urban farming. In Tucson, zoning codes are mitigating the impacts of climate change and drought-proofing neighborhoods in peril. In Delray Beach, Florida, a new code aims to capture and maintain the town's colorful spirit through its architecture. 
     
     
     
    With clarity and insight, Bronin demystifies the power of an inscrutable organizing force in our lives and invites us to see zoning as a revolutionary vehicle for change. In Key to the City, she puts forward a practical and energizing vision for how we can reimagine our communities.

    The issues in this ebook concern various aspects of protecting your family and home and related ideas is organised into 15 chapters of about 500-600 words each. 
    I hope that it will interest those who are concerned about their safety.  
    There has always been an unacceptable amount of burglary. It is such a harrowing experience to be burgled. People are forced to accept that they are not safe even in their own homes. 
    In the days of larger families, it was not easy for the burglar. There was always someone at home, and usually several people. Burglars would be detected and easily overpowered. Nowadays, on the other hand, many people live alone, and many of those are elderly baby-boomers. 
    It can induce a permanent state of worry and anxiety. 
    One way around this, is to implement a home security system. They are actually quiet affordable now too. A decent home security system, coupled with friendly neighbours, is an affordable solution.

    Lawfare - Law as a Weapon of War

    In this book, author Orde Kittrie draws on his experiences as a lawfare practitioner, US State Department attorney, and international law scholar in analyzing the theory and practice of lawfare. Kittrie explains how factors including the increased reach of international laws and tribunals and the rise of economic globalization and information technology have fueled lawfare's increasing power and prevalence. The book includes case studies of recent offensive and defensive lawfare by the United States, China, all sides of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and several non-governmental organizations and individuals. Kittrie asserts that much of the United States' most effective and creative lawfare today is being waged by private sector or other non-governmental attorneys. He analyzes why this is the case, and describes how such attorneys' expertise and experience can contribute even more to US national security. Kittrie also explains that lawfare, deployed more systematically and adeptly by the US government, could likely reduce US and foreign casualties, and save US taxpayer dollars, by supplementing or replacing the use of armed force as a tool for achieving some significant US national security objectives. Understanding this alternative to armed force has never been more important.

    ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
    “Mr. Mercedes” by Stephen King follows Bill Hodges, a retired detective, as he is pulled out of his post-retirement despair by a chilling letter from the so-called Mercedes Killer. The novel explores the dark mind of Brady Hartsfield, a sadistic killer who orchestrated a deadly attack on a crowd of job-seekers. As Bill forms an unlikely team with two companions, they race against time to stop Brady’s next horrific act. Themes of good versus evil, redemption, and the lasting impact of trauma are central to this suspenseful and gripping thriller. King masterfully blends psychological depth with edge-of-your-seat tension.
