Sinossi

COVID Myths tackles the widespread misinformation surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, a critical issue that significantly impacted public health. By dissecting false beliefs about the virus's origin, transmission, and potential cures, the book equips readers with the tools to critically evaluate information and make informed decisions. It highlights how reliance on evidence-based science is paramount during public health crises, especially when misinformation spreads rapidly through social media. For example, the book clarifies the actual modes of transmission, contrasting scientific findings with common misconceptions.

 


 
The book progresses systematically, beginning with the emergence of COVID-19 and debunking conspiracy theories. It then analyzes modes of transmission, clarifying the roles of aerosols, droplets, and surfaces. A section of COVID Myths evaluates preventative measures like vaccines and mask mandates against unproven remedies. It underscores the importance of critical thinking and trust in reliable sources, while also addressing controversies surrounding vaccine mandates and mask effectiveness, emphasizing scientific evidence and expert consensus.

 


 
This book stands out by directly comparing scientific facts with popular myths in an accessible manner. Each chapter presents a common misconception, followed by a detailed explanation of the scientific evidence that refutes it. This approach makes complex information understandable and memorable, fostering scientific literacy and empowering readers to navigate current and future health challenges effectively.

    Foreword by Dr Andy Daly-Smith.
    We already know that increased physical activity and a reduction in the sedentary time spent sitting at desks have wide-ranging benefits (including to brain function), so what if there were also evidence that using movement in the learning process improves outcomes for children? What if we could then map out ways to support teachers in adapting their practice to make this a reality?
    In How to Move & Learn Bryn Llewellyn, Ian Holmes and Richard Allman do just that - sharing the latest research from around the world and providing teachers with the means and motivation to identify opportunities to integrate movement purposefully into the teaching and learning process.
    The links between health and education are paramount, and this book explores these connections and presents a wealth of ideas, activities and resources to help teachers unlock the potential of the school and outdoor environments for learning across all curriculum subjects.
    Suitable for all primary school teachers and leaders.

    Who should read this book? Someone on their way out the door for their first or an early career health emergency and disaster risk management (HEDRM) experience, regardless of role, or someone who is trying to support one who is, or who does it all of the time and wants to know that they are not alone 
    What does this book tell the reader? It provides the shock of jumping into the cold water of health emergency and disaster risk management (HEDRM), without the risk of drowning; it focuses on practical aspects of the experience of doing the work that guidelines and playbooks (as important as they are) do not address 
    Who else might be interested in this book? People keen to understand how HEDRM happens in the context of highly communicable diseases, or about how global public health, emergencies, aid, and development mix, or medical history... the technical and contextual curious 
    Who should NOT read this book? Anyone who is looking for gory details 
    What is the main strength of this book? It is a raw view of the experience of conducting such responses at the clinical: public health interface, with some lessons durable across emergencies 
    What is the main weakness of this book? It carries all of the biases of such experiences. There is a lot not said; the book has snapshots and cannot relate the 10,000,000 events during the year not described 
    What is new in the 2024 edition? In print and e-book, overdue editing without loss of content, a forward that reflects on the COVID-19 pandemic in the context of themes in the book, and in the print edition available on www.amazon.com, a series of essays stepping back and exploring the ways in which people interact with the threat of infectious diseases that defines our willingness and readiness to meet them

    Find out why readers are calling this the surprise book of the summer, that is "easy to read," "compelling," and "full of engaging stories". We’re told Justice should be blind. We’ve been taught that “The Truth will set you free.” But is that the world in which we find ourselves? Cancel culture, biased narratives, mainstream media, and giant corporations; these are the mindsets and special interests that have ferociously aligned to silence and punish the common citizen. Historically, the Justice System has been the entity to stand in the gap to ensure citizens aren’t overpowered. But is that still the case? Through the lens of defamation law, “Dismissed” serves as an examination of how the justice system has been taken over by political maneuvering and American citizens are suffering.  The book delves into high-profile defamation cases, revealing how the impact of traditional and social media on modern defamation law cannot be overstated. As platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram become battlegrounds for public opinion, and everyday people can suddenly be thrust into the spotlight, the lines between personal expression and legal liability blur. "Dismissed" explores how online reputations are made and destroyed in an instant, and how the courts are struggling to keep up with the pace of digital communication.  Furthermore, "Dismissed" addresses the growing concern of judicial bias and the politicization of the bench. Through meticulous research and compelling narratives, the book argues that partisan interests and campaign contributions are compromising the integrity of the judiciary. Readers will gain insight into the ways judges and their rulings impact the fabric of American democracy.
