Sinopse

Sacred Winds explores the profound connections between weather phenomena and religious beliefs across various cultures, diving into how wind and storms have been interpreted as divine messages. This interdisciplinary approach combines religion, climatology, and geography, highlighting the human need to find meaning within the natural world. The book examines how different societies have historically perceived atmospheric events, such as tornadoes being seen as divine wrath or gentle breezes representing benevolence. It presents these interpretations not as mere superstitions, but as sophisticated attempts to understand and interact with the environment. 

 
The book traces the origins of these beliefs through ancient mythologies, religious texts, and archaeological findings. It investigates the role of wind and storms in religious symbolism, with examples such as wind representing divine power or storms symbolizing spiritual cleansing. 

 
Examining specific religious traditions like Norse, Greek, and Shinto, the book progresses through thematic areas, analyzing mythologies and rituals related to weather. The final sections discuss the contemporary relevance of these interpretations, considering how they inform environmental ethics and disaster preparedness.

    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

    For more than fifty years, we have been waging, but not winning, the war on cancer. The astonishing news is that up to two-thirds of all cancer cases are linked to preventable environmental causes. If we can stop cancer before it begins, why don't we? 
     
     
     
    That was the question that motivated Kristina Marusic's revelatory inquiry into cancer prevention. They recognize that we will never reduce cancer rates without ridding our lives of the chemicals that increasingly trigger this deadly disease. 
     
     
     
    One scientist grew up without seeing examples of Indian-American women in the field, yet went on to make shocking discoveries about racial disparities in cancer risk. Another leader knew her calling was children's health, but realized only later in her career that kids can be harmed by invisible pollutants at their daycares. 
     
     
     
    For these individuals, the fight has become personal. And it certainly is personal for Berry, a young woman whose battle with breast cancer is woven throughout these pages. Marusic shows that, collectively, we have the power to prevent many cases like Berry's. The war on cancer is winnable—if we revolutionize the way we fight.
