Sinossi

Past Health Threats explores the crucial link between historical epidemics and modern medical advancements, providing essential insights for strengthening global health security. By examining past disease outbreaks like the bubonic plague, smallpox, and the 1918 influenza pandemic, the book highlights how understanding their spread, societal responses, and effective interventions can inform proactive public health strategies. One intriguing fact is how quarantine measures used centuries ago still resonate in contemporary disease control, demonstrating the cyclical nature of pandemic responses.

 
The book progresses by first laying out basic epidemiological principles and then delving into significant historical outbreaks. It examines the development and impact of key medical tools like vaccines and antibiotics. The later sections address present-day challenges such as emerging infectious diseases, antimicrobial resistance, and health disparities, advocating for a global health security framework rooted in historical knowledge, scientific progress, and social justice. This approach is particularly valuable because it provides a historical lens through which to view and address current health challenges, offering evidence-based perspectives on issues like vaccine hesitancy and equitable resource distribution.

Victimhood Memory and...

David Goyes, Katja Franko

Inhabitants of Medellín, Colombia, suffered from the war-like violence perpetrated by drug cartels and other actors in the 1980s and 1990s. Thousands died, including innocent civilians, judges, and journalists, many more were injured and suffered psychological trauma. Three decades later, however, transnational media companies such as Netflix have transformed the traumatic memories into entertainment while the main perpetrator, Pablo Escobar, became a 
recognizable brand name. 
 
 
 
Victimhood, Memory, and Consumerism: Profiting from Pablo documents the story of violence inflicted on Medellín, and critically examines the status of its victims. Drawing on unique empirical material, the book addresses the impact of commercial exploitation of the city's violent past on the victims of mass drug violence and on the present nature of the city. 
 
  
 
Victimhood, Memory, and Consumerism offers a poignant critique of the role of the global market economy in the unequal distribution of narrative power among those engaged in processes of collective memory construction. A thoroughly compelling listen, this volume will appeal internationally to academics in criminology and victimology, as well as those interested in critical perspectives on Netflix, commercialism, and Colombian history.

Kubrick's Men

Richard Rambuss

The work of Stanley Kubrick amounts to a sustained reflection on the male condition: past, present, and future. The persistent theme of his filmmaking is less violence or sex than it is the pressurized exertion of masculinity in unusual or extreme circumstances, where it may be taxed or exaggerated to various effects, tragic and comic—or metamorphosed, distorted, and even undone. 
 
 
 
The stories that Kubrick's movies tell range from global nuclear politics to the unpredictable sexual dynamics of a marriage; from a day in the life of a New York City prizefighter preparing for a nighttime bout to the evolution of humankind. These male melodramas center on sociality and asociality. They feature male doubles, pairs, and rivals. They explore the romance of men and their machines, and men as machines. They figure intensely conflicted forms of male sexual desire. And they are also very much about male manners, style, taste, and art. 
 
 
 
Examining the formal, thematic, and theoretical affiliations between Kubrick's three bodies of work, Kubrick's Men offers new vantages on to the question of gender and sexuality, including the first extended treatment of homosexuality in Kubrick's male-oriented work. 
 
 
 
Contains mature themes.

The Prince

Niccolò Machiavelli

Machiavelli needs to be looked at as he really was. Hence: Can Machiavelli, who makes the following observations, be Machiavellian as we understand the disparaging term? 1. So it is that to know the nature of a people, one need be a Prince; to know the nature of a Prince, one need to be of the people. 2. If a Prince is not given to vices that make him hated, it is unsusal for his subjects to show their affection for him. 3. Opportunity made Moses, Cyrus, Romulus, Theseus, and others; their virtue domi-nated the opportunity, making their homelands noble and happy. Armed prophets win; the disarmed lose. 4. Without faith and religion, man achieves power but not glory. 5. Prominent citizens want to command and oppress; the populace only wants to be free of oppression. 6. A Prince needs a friendly populace; otherwise in diversity there is no hope. 7. A Prince, who rules as a man of valor, avoids disasters, 8. Nations based on mercenary forces will never be solid or secure. 9. Mercenaries are dangerous because of their cowardice 10. There are two ways to fight: one with laws, the other with force. The first is rightly man's way; the second, the way of beasts. Support us at https://manifoldmedia.net/donate
