    Pandemic: Tracking Contagions, from Cholera to Ebola and Beyond , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 574min
    From the author of The Fever, a wide-ranging inquiry into the origins of pandemics Interweaving history, original reportage, and personal narrative, Pandemic explores the origin of epidemics, drawing parallels between the story of cholera - one of history's most disruptive and deadly pathogens - and the new pathogens that stalk humankind today, from Ebola and avian influenza to drug-resistant superbugs. More than 300 infectious diseases have emerged or reemerged in new territory during the past 50 years, and 90 percent of epidemiologists expect that one of them will cause a disruptive, deadly pandemic sometime in the next two generations. To reveal how that might happen, Sonia Shah tracks each stage of cholera's dramatic journey from harmless microbe to world-changing pandemic, from its 1817 emergence in the South Asian hinterlands to its rapid dispersal across the 19th-century world and its latest beachhead in Haiti. She reports on the pathogens following in cholera's footsteps, from the MRSA bacterium that besieges her own family to the never-before-seen killers emerging from China's wet markets, the surgical wards of New Delhi, the slums of Port-au-Prince, and the suburban backyards of the East Coast. By delving into the convoluted science, strange politics, and checkered history of one of the world's deadliest diseases, Pandemic reveals what the next epidemic might look like - and what we can do to prevent it. ungekürzt.

    Lords of Dyscrasia , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 480min

    The Square and the Tower: Networks, Hierarchies and the Struggle for Global Power , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 965min
    Penguin presents the audiobook edition of The Square and the Tower by Niall Ferguson. What if everything we thought we knew about history was wrong? From the global best-selling author of Empire, The Ascent of Money and Civilization, this is a whole new way of looking at the world. Most history is hierarchical: it's about popes, presidents, and prime ministers. But what if that's simply because they create the historical archives? What if we are missing equally powerful but less visible networks - leaving them to the conspiracy theorists, with their dreams of all-powerful Illuminati? The 21st century has been hailed as the Networked Age. But in The Square and the Tower, Niall Ferguson argues that social networks are nothing new. From the printers and preachers who made the Reformation to the freemasons who led the American Revolution, it was the networkers who disrupted the old order of popes and kings. Far from being novel, our era is the Second Networked Age, with the computer in the role of the printing press. Those looking forward to a utopia of interconnected 'netizens' may therefore be disappointed. For networks are prone to clustering, contagions and even outages. And the conflicts of the past already have unnerving parallels today, in the time of Facebook, Islamic State and Trumpworld. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John Sackville.

    Pandemic: The Great Influenza Since 1918 Tracking Contagions, from Cholera to Ebola Until the Viruses of Our Days. , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 210min
    Are you looking for a complete guide on pandemic diseases? Then, keep reading...Pandemics are large-scale infectious disease outbreaks which can significantly increase morbidity and death across a wide geographical area and cause major economic, social, and political disruption.Evidence suggests that over the past century, the risk of pandemics increased with increasing global travel and migration, urbanization, land use changes, and greater natural environment exploitation. Such patterns are expected to continue and increase.Critical policy emphasis has been on recognizing and reducing emerging pandemics and increasing and maintaining investment to develop readiness and health capacity. In planning for the consequences of pandemics, the international community has made progress and mitigation.The 2003 severe pandemic of ASRS and the increasing concern about the danger of avian influenza have led many countries to formulate pandemic plans. The World Health Assembly's delayed notification of early SRS cases has also brought the IHR update to oblige all member states of the World Health Organization to comply with common standards of identification and report on ASRS.Throughout the 2009 influenza pandemic, the system introduced with the new IHR (international health regulations) enabled a more organized global response. International donors have also begun to invest in enhancing readiness through improved standards and health capacity-building support.The book focuses on influenza, its symptoms, and the diagnosis and self-quarantine of the recovery program. Influenza is actually the family of viruses that cause cold and extreme illnesses, such as Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS-Cove). The zoonotic influenza viruses are transmitted from animals to humans.Clinical studies have shown that SARS-Cove is passed from civet cats to people and MERS-Cove from dromedaries to humans. Influenzaes control the distri ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jono Mammel. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/196421/bk_acx0_196421_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Fighting the Plague in Antiquity and the Middle Ages: The History of Ancient and Medieval Efforts to Prevent the Spread of Diseases , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 126min
    Plague and pestilence have both fascinated and terrified humanity from the very beginning. Societies and individuals have struggled to make sense of them, and more importantly they’ve often struggled to avoid them. Before the scientific age, people had no knowledge of the microbiological agents - unseen bacteria and viruses - which afflicted them, and thus the maladies were often ascribed to wrathful supernatural forces. Even when advances in knowledge posited natural causes for epidemics and pandemics, medicine struggled to deal with them, and for hundreds of years religion continued to work hand-in-hand with medicine.Inevitably, that meant physicians tried a variety of practices to cure the sick, and many of them seem quite odd by modern standards. By the time Rome was on the rise, physicians understood that contagions arose and spread, but according to Galen, Hippocrates, and other Greco-Roman authorities, pestilence was caused by miasma, foul air produced by the decomposition of organic matter. Though modern scientists have since been able to disprove this, on the face of it there was some logic to the idea. Physicians and philosophers (they were very often the same, Galen being an example) noticed that disease arose in areas of poor sanitation, where filth and rotting matter was prevalent and not disposed of, and the basic measures to prevent disease - waste removal, provision of clean food and water, and quarantining - would have been obvious to them. The scenting of miasmic air with incense and other unguents to expel the foulness would also have thus made sense, though people now know that can’t stop the spread of a disease.Ancient physicians at the time believed that miasma was not the direct cause of disease but rather a catalyst. Maladies were caused by an imbalance of what Galen called the four humors. According to him (and Hippocrates before him), the body contained four kinds of fluids: Black bile, yellow bile, blood, and phlegm. These ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Daniel Houle.
