Sinossi

"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.

When the Wind Stops: Inside the...

Alex Southwick

The world is racing to reinvent how it powers itself — yet every solution carries its own cost. Wind farms rise where wildlands once stretched untouched, lithium mines carve into deserts, and the dream of “clean” energy grows tangled in politics, inequality, and human ambition. 
In When the Wind Stops, Alex Southwick takes readers behind the headlines of the global energy revolution. From Arctic oil rigs standing silent in thawing seas to the vast solar fields of Morocco and the wind-swept coasts of Denmark, Southwick meets the engineers, visionaries, and communities living through this historic shift. 
This is not a simple story of progress or failure. It’s a portrait of transition — messy, imperfect, and deeply human. With characteristic clarity and empathy, Southwick explores what it means to change the very systems that built modern civilization, and the moral choices that come with it. 
When the Wind Stops is a journey into the heart of our energy age — a reflection on power in every sense of the word, and a reminder that even as the wind falters, the will to adapt endures.

Breaking the Medicine Monopolies...

Alfred Engelberg

Breaking the Medicine Monopolies is a lawyer's personal narrative of the events that led to the widespread use of low-cost generic drugs and the current drug price crisis. 
 
 
 
Breaking the Medicine Monopolies is a personal narrative about Alfred Engelberg's fifty years of legal work in the drug industry. He takes you inside the mysterious world of patents to provide a basic understanding of how drug makers have gamed the laws governing brand and generic competition, misused patents to prolong monopolies, and delayed generic competition on old drugs instead of focusing on discovering new ones. In this book, Engelberg provides listeners with an understanding of how the growing use of low-cost generic drugs led to the highest prices in the world for new drugs, and how middlemen in the drug distribution chain have exploited a lack of price transparency in order to earn excessive profits. Breaking the Medicine Monopolies is a must-listen for anyone who wants to understand how ill-considered policy decisions and an inept patent system led to unaffordable prices for new drugs, and what can be done to correct the problem.

Eight Bears - Mythic Past and...

Gloria Dickie

A global exploration of the eight remaining species of bears—and the dangers they face. 
 
 
 
Bears have always held a central place in our collective memory, from Indigenous folklore and Greek mythology to nineteenth-century fairytales and the modern toy shop. But as humans and bears come into ever-closer contact, our relationship nears a tipping point. Today, most of the eight remaining bear species are threatened with extinction. Some, such as the panda bear and the polar bear, are icons of the natural world; others, such as the spectacled bear and the sloth bear, are far less known. 
 
 
 
In Eight Bears, journalist Gloria Dickie embarks on a globe-trotting journey to explore each bear's story, whisking listeners from the cloud forests of the Andes to the ice floes of the Arctic; from the jungles of India to the backwoods of the Rocky Mountain West. She meets with key figures on the frontlines of modern conservation efforts—the head of a rescue center for sun and moon bears freed from bile farms, a biologist known as Papa Panda, who has led China's panda-breeding efforts for almost four decades, a conservationist retraining a military radar system to detect and track polar bears near towns—to reveal the unparalleled challenges bears face as they contend with a rapidly changing climate and encroaching human populations.
