It's an unimaginably large sum, yet it's only around one per cent of world GDP, and about the valuation of Google, Microsoft or Amazon. It's a much smaller sum than the world found to bail out its banks in 2008 or deal with Covid-19.  But what could you achieve with $1 trillion?  You could solve the problem of the pandemic, for one, and eradicate malaria, and maybe cure all disease. You could end global poverty. You could settle on the Moon and explore the solar system. You could build a massive particle collider to probe the nature of reality like never before. You could build quantum computers, develop artificial intelligence, or increase human lifespan. You could even create a new life form.  Or how about transitioning the world to clean energy? Or preserving the rainforests, or saving all endangered species? Maybe you could refreeze the melting Arctic, launch a new sustainable agricultural revolution, and reverse climate change?  How to Spend a Trillion Dollars is the ultimate thought experiment but it is also a call to arms: these are all things we could do, if we put our minds to it - and our money.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow To Spend a Trillion Dollars is both original and ingenious. Rowan Hooper looks at the problems facing the world today - all the big ones - and presents solutions that are realistic and workable, if governments can wring the money out of giant corporations - and billionaires - that don't like paying tax. Hooper writes with great vivacity and persuasiveness and his book is an exhilarating, encouraging, and hopeful reminder that the solutions are there if we have the will to find them. I hope it sells a trillion. -- Philip Pullman\u003cbr\u003eWill someone iust give Rowan Hooper a mere trillion dollars and let him, very sensibly, save the world? -- Caitlin Moran\u003cbr\u003eln a world of doom-scrolling, trembling on the brink of causing a mass extinction event that will devastate civilisation, it's crucially important to point out that we already have the abilities needed not only to avoid catastrophe, but to thrive. That's what Hooper does in fascinating and exciting detail. -- Kim Stanley Robinson\u003cbr\u003eAt a moment when science is proving it can solve the most urgent of problems - given the right funding - Rowan Hooper asks a very interesting question. How much would it cost to solve all the world's other problems? ... Like any good game, this is deadly serious. What starts off seeming absurd ends up feeling obvious. Why would we not invest in our future? As Hooper says, \"The world is full of extraordinary opportunities, and the vast majority are never undertaken\" -- James McConnachie * Sunday Times *\u003cbr\u003eBrimming with exciting possibilities for a future in which the health and safety of the whole population becomes their responsibility -- Delia Smith\u003cbr\u003eWhat would you do with a trillion dollars? In this hopeful and very readable book, Rowan Hooper shows us how a thoughtful investment of financial capital could be used to solve the great challenges we face. None is more near and dire than the climate crisis, and Hooper provides reason for optimism here. The solutions-green energy chief among them-already exist. It's simply a matter of us investing in them. And a trillion dollars spent on climate solutions would payback several times over in avoided damage and destruction and new jobs. Read this book and be inspired to change the world. -- Michael Mann\u003cbr\u003eI've never before read a book which made me aspire to be a tax collector. But if I was, and if I could just get all the money which the greedy mega-Corps dodge paying, what Hooper so elegantly yet pragmatically shows is that we could so easily \"save the world\" and have so much fun too. I'll get my suit on! -- Chris Packham\u003cbr\u003eIn a world in which everything seems to be going wrong, this is a refreshingly optimistic book about what real solutions to the world's biggest problems could look like - and cost. Beautifully positive, lucid and accessible. -- Angela Saini, author of Superior\u003cbr\u003eBy assessing what it would take to tackle the world's biggest problems, Hooper finds that even huge investments pay for themselves many times over. In that sense, his book is like a new version of Brewster's Millions: spend now, win later, with more jobs, better health and, crucially, a better functioning biosphere. * New Scientist *\u003cbr\u003eRowan Hooper shows that the world's most intractable problems might not actually be intractable, if we just devoted the resources to solving them.

The very mention of tuberculosis brings to mind romantic images of great literary figures pouring out their souls in creative works as their bodies were being decimated by consumption. It is a disease that at various times has had a certain glamour associated with it. From the medieval period to the modern day, Helen Bynum explores the history and development of tuberculosis throughout the world, touching on the various discoveries that have emerged about the disease over time, and focussing on the experimental approaches of Jean-Antoine Villemin (1827-92) and Robert Koch (1842-1910).

It was responsible for the ''Plague of Justinian'' in 542, the Black Death of 1348, and the Great Plague of London in 1665, as well as for devastating epidemics in China and India between the 1890s and 1920s. In the 21st century Coronavirus pandemics have served as a powerful reminder that we have not escaped the global impact of epidemic diseases. In this Very Short Introduction, Paul Slack takes a global approach to explore the historical and social impact of plague over the centuries, looking at the ways in which it has been interpreted, and the powerful images it has left behind in art and literature. Examining what plague meant for those who suffered from it, and how governments began to fight against it, he demonstrates the impact plague has had on modern notions of public health, and how it has shaped our history. This new edition also includes evidence on the nature of plague taken from recent discoveries in ancient DNA as well as new research on plague in the Middle East. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.

2013, the largest Ebola outbreak in history swept across West Africa, claiming thousands of lives in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea. By the middle of 2014, the international community was gripped by hysteria. Experts grimly predicted that millions would be infected within months, and a huge international control effort was mounted to contain the virus. Yet paradoxically, by this point the disease was already going into decline in Africa itself. So why did outside observers get it so wrong?  Paul Richards draws on his extensive first-hand experience in Sierra Leone to argue that the international community’s panicky response failed to take account of local expertise and common sense. Crucially, Richards shows that the humanitarian response to the disease was most effective in those areas where it supported these initiatives and that it hampered recovery when it ignored or disregarded local knowledge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePolicymakers involved in responding to global pandemics [should] read this book and to think more seriously about how to develop approaches that really listen to affected communities. * Africa at LSE *\u003cbr\u003eThe importance of this work for fighting future epidemics cannot be overstated. * African Affairs *\u003cbr\u003eThe book is useful for any individual teaching or practicing in the fields of psychology or medical education, as well as those in social work, education, and public health. * Choice *\u003cbr\u003eIn this provocative book, Richards argues that the international response may actually have extended the epidemic’s duration. * Foreign Affairs *\u003cbr\u003eWith some 40 years’ experience living, working and writing about the Mano River Region, Paul Richards’ manuscript provides a succinct, erudite and important contribution to this debate. * Journal of Modern African Studies *\u003cbr\u003e[A] first-hand analysis of the complicated situation that arose from the outbreak, a fascinating story of the success and failures of experts, volunteers and village people ... eye-opening reading. * Medicine, Conflict and Survival *\u003cbr\u003eA must-read for all involved in epidemics, epidemiology and public health. * Nature *\u003cbr\u003eA book rich in practical examples from extensive knowledge of the region, with theory to underpin observation...fascinating. * Oxfam 'From Poverty to Power' blog *\u003cbr\u003eA scholarly exercise that will appeal to medical and health policy academics ... convincingly argues the broader lesson for containing future epidemics. * Publishers Weekly *\u003cbr\u003eRepresents the first serious attempt to grapple with some of the practical as well as epistemological questions posed by the local response to the outbreak...Offers important insights, especially concerning the central issue of burial practices, one of the epidemic’s main routes of infection. * The Economist *\u003cbr\u003eA valuable reflection of the experiences of affected communities and aid workers in Sierra Leone.

In accessible prose, he spells out steps for preventing future pandemics,\u003c\/b\u003e among them creating a global task force dedicated to doing so . . . Gates is realistic about what he's up against . . . but he does a good job of making [the task force's] $1 billion price tag seem reasonable. -- Publishers Weekly\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eHow to Prevent the Next Pandemic\u003c\/i\u003e he applies his technocratic approach to preparing the world for future public health emergencies. That means building early warning systems that could identify novel illnesses when they first start to circulate in human populations; developing better treatment and vaccine technologies that can quickly tackle brand new pathogens; and optimising processes and building manufacturing facilities that could quickly mass-produce things like medicines and rapid tests in times of emergency. At the heart of Gates's plan is a new institution he calls Germ (Global Epidemic Response and Mobilisation), composed of a few thousand experts - from epidemiologists to vaccinologists to diplomats - who would be on standby in case of a global threat. In between emergencies, this group would go around the world to strengthen pandemic-prevention infrastructure and encourage governments to keep spending on things like disease-monitoring and scientific research. None of the ideas in the book are radical; indeed, scientists have been arguing for some version of all them for several decades. But, given who is making the recommendations, people with the power to make change might finally listen. -- Alok Jha * Guardian Books of the Year *","brand":"Penguin Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48741815353687,"sku":"9781802060522","price":10.44,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781802060522.jpg?v=1720058908"},{"product_id":"mankind-vs-microbes-9781805142317","title":"Mankind vs Microbes","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMankind vs Microbes\u003c\/em\u003e is part memoir, part history lesson in microbiology and infectious diseases.

An unusually poetic metaphor for moral and mythic ills, quarantine means waiting to see if something hidden inside of us will be revealed. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eUntil Proven Safe\u003c\/i\u003e tracks the history and future of quarantine around the globe, chasing the story of emergency isolation through time and space – from the crumbling lazarettos of the Mediterranean to the hallways of the CDC, to the corporate giants hoping to disrupt the widespread quarantine imposed by Covid-19 before the next pandemic hits through surveillance and algorithmic prediction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYet quarantine is more than just a medical tool: Geoff Manaugh and Nicola Twilley drop deep into the Earth to tour a nuclear-waste isolation facility beneath the New Mexican desert, strip down to nothing but protective Tyvek suits to see plants stricken with a disease that threatens the world’s wheat supply, and meet NASA’s Planetary Protection Officer tasked with saving the Earth from extraterrestrial infections. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe result is part travelogue, part intellectual history – a book as compelling as it is definitive, and one that could not be more urgent or timely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReads like a global safari of humanity’s best-laid plans being never quite enough . . . [Manaugh and Twilley] are well-placed to tell the tale, weaving the spatial, social and scientific facets of medical isolation into an entertaining adventure. -- Oliver Wainwright * Guardian *\u003cbr\u003eA timely intellectual history of quarantine . . .  As Manaugh and Twilley write, quarantine is enforced in cases of potential infection, of possible risk, and ­therefore admits a degree of uncertainty. One of the striking continuities in their history is how this uncertainty has been exploited to deepen gendered and racialised inequalities. -- Erin Maglaque * New Statesman *\u003cbr\u003eA compelling case that we must continue to refine the use of quarantine, balancing the needs of public health with those of human rights. * New Yorker *\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eUntil Proven Safe\u003c\/i\u003e is not all doom and gloom, though: there are plenty of QI-style facts in this wide-ranging and colourful survey. -- Christopher Hart * Sunday Times *\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eUntil Proven Safe\u003c\/i\u003e, by Geoff Manaugh and Nicola Twilley, dives into the crudely effective and widely abused strategy of quarantine, the separation of those feared to be sick from those deemed healthy. -- Ian Sample * Guardian Best Science Books of the Year *\u003cbr\u003eBrainy but accessible -- Mark Honigsbaum * Observer *\u003cbr\u003eManaugh and Twilley shed illuminating light on a phenomenon that seems utterly of the present moment. * Financial Times' Best Books of the Year *\u003cbr\u003e[Manaugh and Twilley] bring an impressively wide range of interests to bear on a subject that involves not only infectious disease but also - in their ambitious yet seamless narration - politics, agriculture, surveillance and even outer space. -- Jennifer Szalai * New York Times Book Review *\u003cbr\u003eWhat makes [\u003ci\u003eUntil Proven Safe\u003c\/i\u003e] compelling, besides [Manaugh and Twilley’s] extensive experience as journalists, is the depth of their research coupled with a firm conviction that quarantine, a mighty yet dangerous weapon, must be used ‘more wisely in the future’ . . . This is an exceptionally powerful book -- A. Roger Ekirch * Wall Street Journal *\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eUntil Proven Safe\u003c\/i\u003e is uncanny in its prescience . . . Twilley and Manaugh see things that others don’t. Their insatiable curiosity reveals itself through all of their endeavors -- Allison Arieff * San Francisco Chronicle *\u003cbr\u003eManaugh’s and Twilley’s extensive history of a concept we might otherwise take for granted is actually the perfect postpandemic read - an imaginative, layperson-friendly way to make sense of and contextualize what we just lived through. -- Arianna Rebolini * BuzzFeed *\u003cbr\u003eQuarantine provides a buffer and a delay, offering space and time, between the known (healthy folks) and the dangerous (potentially contagious people). Its complicated nature is adeptly explored, including ethical concerns, legal and moral questions, and enforcement challenges . . . Fascinating reading. -- Tony Miksanek * Booklist *\u003cbr\u003eA riveting and timely look at how humanity has protected itself by isolating segments of its populations. . . Manaugh and Twilley cull their research into a concise and logical series of recommendations for future public health crises, grounded in a deep appreciation of the human impact of quarantining. * Publishers Weekly *\u003cbr\u003eCaptivating . . . Manaugh and Twilley meld a global view of a timely subject with vividly detailed accounts . . . But a larger charm of this smart book lies in their ability to bring potentially dry topics to life . . . An infectiously appealing overview of efforts to contain the potentially infectious. * Kirkus Reviews *\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eUntil Proven Safe\u003c\/i\u003e is the book of our historical moment - a provocative meditation on how society uses quarantine to define the boundaries of self and other when faced with the terrifying unknown. Startlingly timely, authoritatively researched, and electrifyingly written. -- Steve Silberman, author of\u003ci\u003e NeuroTribes: The Legacy of Autism and the Future of Neurodiversity\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eUntil Proven Safe\u003c\/i\u003e combines history, geography, epidemiology, and the ethics of space exploration – how can this be – Because, as the authors explain in a very entertaining and wide-ranging way, quarantine, ironically enough, crosses borders of space and time to make a complex knot of stories. Timely, eye-opening, provocative – you will see the world differently after reading it. -- Kim Stanley Robinson, author of \u003ci\u003eMinistry\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e for the Future\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat does it mean to isolate threats: people carrying diseases; the microbes, themselves; radioactive materials? For centuries the primary tool of isolation has been quarantine, and in this globe-trotting tale of history and today’s COVID-19 crisis, Geoff Manaugh and Nicola Twilley offer answers that will make your jaw drop. Nothing about \"quarantine\" is as simple or straight-forward as you think. -- Laurie Garrett, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Coming Plague: Newly Emerging Diseases in a World out of Balance\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn engrossing study of the ways in which quarantines have changed social, emotional, and political life over hundreds of years, and a fascinating exploration of the perennial roles of fear, conspiracy theories, greed, and prejudice, to which we now add the threat of permanent digital surveillance in the name of public health. Perfect for our time and guidance for the future. -- Ellen Ullman, author of \u003ci\u003eClose to the Machine\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLife in Code\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs Twilley and Manaugh reveal in this timely but timeless, ambitious and flawlessly executed account, quarantines have shaped our history . . .  The struggle to protect ourselves from invisible and deadly contagions is waged daily and largely out of sight - along borders and spore superhighways, in biosecure piggeries and nuclear waste facilities a half-mile underground. Quarantine: boring to live through, unbelievably interesting to read about. -- Mary Roach, author of \u003ci\u003eStiff \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eGrunt\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStrap on your plague beaks and round up the loose women! In this intrepid, occasionally creepy jaunt through seven centuries of disease control, Twilley and Manaugh prove that the past is never dead; it’s just in quarantine. -- Alexis Coe, author of \u003ci\u003eYou Never Forget Your First: A Biography of George Washington\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Pan Macmillan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48867411427671,"sku":"9781509867431","price":9.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781509867431.jpg?v=1722283163"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/collections\/infectious-and-contagious-diseases.oembed?page=7","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
