Sinossi

Measles Threat investigates the concerning resurgence of measles in the 21st century, a highly contagious disease with potentially severe complications. Despite being preventable through vaccination, measles outbreaks continue, highlighting the critical need to understand the virus, its transmission, and the importance of immunization. This book provides a comprehensive, accessible overview of measles, emphasizing the science behind vaccination and its role in eradicating the disease, while focusing on the real-world impact of the disease and the effectiveness of public health interventions.

 
The book explores the biology of the measles virus, the consequences of infection, and the efficacy and safety of the measles vaccine. A key insight is that while measles is preventable, low vaccination rates, often fueled by misinformation and vaccine hesitancy, allow it to persist. The book stresses that widespread vaccination remains the safest and most effective means of prevention, supported by data from organizations like the WHO and CDC.

 
Beginning with a historical context of measles outbreaks and vaccine development, the book progresses through the virus's life cycle, clinical manifestations, vaccine science, and global status. It aims to equip readers with the knowledge to make informed decisions about vaccination and advocate for public health strategies, presenting a fact-based, balanced view of the risks and benefits of immunization, while addressing ongoing debates surrounding vaccine safety.

The Religion of Whiteness - How...

Glenn E. Bracey II, Michael O....

Recent years have seen a growing recognition of the role that White Christian Nationalism plays in American society. As White Christian Nationalism has become a major force, and as racial and religious attitudes become increasingly aligned among whites—for example, the more likely you are to say that the decline of white people as a share of the population is "bad for society," the more likely you are to believe the government should support religious values—it has become reasonable to wonder which of the adjectives in the phrase "White Christian Nationalism" takes precedence. 
 
 
 
In this book, Michael O. Emerson and Glenn E. Bracey II respond definitively: the answer is "white." The majority of white Christians in America, they argue, are believers in a "Religion of Whiteness" that shapes their faith, their politics, and more. The Religion of Whiteness, they argue, raises the perpetuation of racial inequality to a level of spiritual commitment that rivals followers' commitment to Christianity itself. 
 
 
 
Using national survey data, in-depth interviews, and focus group results gathered over several years, Emerson and Bracey show how the Religion of Whiteness shapes the practice of Christianity for millions of Americans—and what can be done to confront it.

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.
