Sinopsis

"Disease Stigma Unmasked" explores the complex relationship between society's fear-driven responses to illnesses and scientific reality, revealing how misconceptions and prejudices shape public health outcomes throughout history.The book masterfully weaves together historical examples—from medieval leprosy to modern COVID-19—demonstrating how marginalized communities often become targets of blame during health crises, perpetuating cycles of discrimination that impact healthcare access and community well-being.Through a compelling blend of epidemiological data, historical records, and contemporary case studies, the book illuminates recurring patterns in disease-related stigma across different eras. Particularly fascinating is its examination of successful public health campaigns that effectively countered misinformation, offering valuable insights for modern health communicators and policy makers.The analysis spans both infectious and non-infectious conditions, incorporating perspectives from epidemiology, sociology, and communication studies to build a comprehensive understanding of how stigma develops and persists. The text progresses logically from historical pandemics to modern outbreaks, examining how digital media and global connectivity influence contemporary health-related prejudices.What sets this work apart is its practical approach to addressing stigma, providing concrete frameworks for developing culturally sensitive health communications and community education programs. By combining rigorous academic analysis with accessible language, it serves as an invaluable resource for both health professionals and general readers interested in the intersection of public health and social justice.

    Future Morality

    The world is changing so fast that it's hard to know how to think about what we ought to do. We barely have time to reflect on how scientific advances will affect our lives before they're upon us. New kinds of dilemma are springing up. Can robots be held responsible for their actions? Will artificial intelligence be able to predict criminal activity? Is the future gender-fluid? Should we strive to become post-human? Should we use drugs to improve our intimate relationships—or to reduce crime? Our intuitions about questions like these are often both weak and confused. 
     
     
     
    David Edmonds has put together a philosophical task force to get to grips with these challenges. Twenty-nine philosophers present provocative and engaging pieces about aspects of life today, and life tomorrow—birth and death, health and medicine, brain and body, personal relationships, wrongdoing and justice, the internet, animals, and the environment. The future won't look the same when you've finished this book.

  • The Intersectional Environmentalist - How to Dismantle Systems of Oppression to Protect People + Planet - cover

    From the activist who coined the term comes a primer on intersectional environmentalism for the next generation of activists looking to create meaningful, inclusive, and sustainable change. The Intersectional Environmentalist examines the inextricable link between environmentalism, racism, and privilege, and promotes awareness of the fundamental truth that we cannot save the planet without uplifting the voices of its people -- especially those most often unheard. Written by Leah Thomas, a prominent voice in the field and the activist who coined the term "Intersectional Environmentalism," this book is simultaneously a call to action, a guide to instigating change for all, and a pledge to work towards the empowerment of all people and the betterment of the planet. Thomas shows how not only are Black, Indigenous and people of color unequally and unfairly impacted by environmental injustices, but she argues that the fight for the planet lies in tandem to the fight for civil rights; and in fact, that one cannot exist without the other. An essential read, this book addresses the most pressing issues that the people and our planet face, examines and dismantles privilege, and looks to the future as the voice of a movement that will define a generation.

    Bee populations are plummeting. The solution? Give them what they need to live naturally, and they'll handle the rest. 
     
     
     
    Susan Knilans and Jacqueline Freeman are in love with bees. So in love that they observe their bees—their work, communication, seasonal activity, and more—for hours each day. And with observation came realization: when bees are allowed to live as they would in nature (with smaller hives, no chemicals, freedom to swarm, and little-to-no human interference), they will thrive. Accordingly, Knilans and Freeman have spent decades perfecting the revolutionary practice of preservation beekeeping, guided by the simple question, "What do the bees want?" 
     
     
     
    A must-listen, this instructional book tells the story of their successes and failures, demonstrating what was learned along the way. Sharing preservation beekeeping's key tenets, the authors provide concrete, simple ways to implement their approach, from finding the right hive location to honing observation skills. This preservation manifesto is a vital addition to any beekeeper's library, imparting all the joys of a beekeeper's life.
