Few diseases are more gruesome than typhus. Transmitted by body lice, it afflicts the dispossessed - refugees, soldiers, and ghettoized peoples - causing hallucinations, terrible headaches, boiling fever, and often death. The disease plagued the German army on the Eastern Front and left the Reich desperate for a vaccine. For this they turned to the brilliant and eccentric Polish zoologist Rudolf Weigl.

The average individual is far more likely to die in a car accident than from a communicable disease...yet we are still much more fearful of the epidemic. Even at our most level-headed, the thought of an epidemic can inspire terror. As Philip Alcabes persuasively argues in Dread, our anxieties about epidemics are created not so much by the germ or microbe in question - or the actual risks of contagion - but by the unknown, the undesirable, and the misunderstood.

In 1918, a world war raged, and a lethal strain of influenza circled the globe. In the midst of all this death, a bizarre disease appeared in Europe. Eventually known as encephalitis lethargica, or sleeping sickness, it spread worldwide, leaving millions dead or locked in institutions. Then, in 1927, it disappeared as suddenly as it had arrived. Asleep, set in 1920s and '30s New York, follows a group of neurologists through hospitals and asylums as they try to solve this epidemic and treat its victims - who learned the worst fate was not dying of it, but surviving it.

When the AIDS epidemic hit in the early 1980s, Strub was living in New York and soon found himself attending "more funerals than birthday parties". Scared and angry, he turned to radical activism to combat discrimination and demand research. Strub takes you through his own diagnosis and inside ACT UP, the organization that transformed a stigmatized cause into one of the defining political movements of our time.

A riveting exploration of how microbes are transforming the way we see nature and ourselves - and could revolutionize agriculture and medicine. Prepare to set aside what you think you know about yourself and microbes. Good health - for people and for plants - depends on Earth's smallest creatures. The Hidden Half of Nature tells the story of our tangled relationship with microbes and their potential to revolutionize agriculture and medicine, from garden to gut.

今晩から眠りの質が高まる！早稲田大学睡眠研究所所長が教える、人生が変わる科学的食事術！

La malattia ci dà l’opportunità di ritrovare il misterioso dono della vita, mediante la riscoperta dell’amore, della gioia, della pace, della magnanimità, della bontà, della mitezza e del dominio di sé, talenti già presenti, ma dormienti in ciascuno di noi, perché paralizzati dalla paura, dai sensi di colpa. La malattia diventa quindi sinonimo di emozione bloccata. Noi siamo le nostre malattie, siamo le nostre emozioni bloccate. Perciò non si guarisce facendo tacere il sintomo, ma comprendendo ciò che il sintomo ci vuole comunicare, come ha avuto modo di insegnarci da anni il medico tedesco Rüdiger Dahlke.

Il libro risponde a queste e alle altre domande che riguardano l'esperienza negativa di certo più comune provata da tutti svariate volte nella vita. Al contempo il dolore rimane però un enigma difficile da comprendere a fondo, poiché rappresenta un vissuto personale che appartiene solo alla sfera privata. Il fattore fondamentale è che esso non è mai uguale: chi sta leggendo queste righe lo percepisce differentemente da qualsiasi altro individuo.
