Ending Epidemics - Richard Conniff
How scientists saved humanity from the deadliest infectious diseases—and what we can do to prepare ourselves for future epidemics.After the unprecedented events of the COVID-19 pandemic, it may be hard to imagine a time not so long ago when deadly diseases were a routine part of life. It is harder still to fathom that the best medical thinking at that time blamed these diseases on noxious miasmas, bodily humors, and divine dyspepsia. This all began to change on a day in April 1676, when a little-known Dutch merchant described bacteria for the first time. Beginning on that day in Delft and ending on the day in 1978 when the smallpox virus claimed its last known victim, Ending Epidemics explains how we came to understand and prevent many of our worst infectious diseases—and double average life expectancy.Ending Epidemics tells the story behind “the mortality revolution,” the dramatic transformation not just in our longevity, but in the character of childhood, family life, and human society. Richard Conniff recounts the moments of inspiration and innovation, decades of dogged persistence, and, of course, periods of terrible suffering that stir individuals, institutions, and governments to act in the name of public health. Stars of medical science feature in this drama, but lesser-known figures also play a critical role. And while the history of germ theory is central to this story, Ending Epidemics also describes the importance of everything from sanitation improvements and the discovery of antibiotics to the development of the microscope and the syringe—technologies we now take for granted.

Richard III - Matthew Lewis
King Richard III remains one of the most controversial figures in British history. Matthew Lewis⠙s new biography aims to become a definitive account by exploring what is known of his childhood and the impacts it had on his personality and view of the world. He would be cast into insecurity and exile only to become a royal prince before his tenth birthday.As Richard spends his teenage years under the watchful gaze of his older brother, Edward IV, he is eventually placed in the household of their cousin, the Earl of Warwick, remembered as the Kingmaker; but as the relationship between a king and his most influential magnate breaks down, Richard is compelled to make a choice when the House of York fractures. After another period in exile, Richard returns to become the most powerful nobleman in England. The work he involves himself in during the years that follow demonstrates a drive and commitment but also a dangerous naïveté.When crisis hits in 1483, it is to Richard that his older brother turns on his death bed. The events of 1483 remain contentious and hotly debated, but by understanding the Richard who began that year, it will become clearer what drove some of his actions and decisions. Returning to primary sources and considering the evidence available, this new life undoes the myths and presents a real man living in tumultuous times.

ChoiÂ’s third book features poems about historical and impending apocalypses, alongside musings on our responsibilities to each other and visions for our collective survival.Many have called our time dystopian. But The World Keeps Ending, and the World Goes On reminds us that apocalypse has already come in myriad ways for marginalized peoples.With lyric and tonal dexterity, these poems spin backwards and forwards in time--from Korean comfort women during World War II, to the precipice of climate crisis, to children wandering a museum in the future. These poems explore narrative distances and queer linearity, investigating on microscopic scales before soaring towards the universal. As she wrestles with the daily griefs and distances of this apocalyptic world, Choi also imagines what togetherness--between Black and Asian and other marginalized communities, between living organisms, between children of calamity and conquest--could look like. Bringing together Choi s signature speculative imagination with even greater musicality than her previous work, The World Keeps Ending, and the World Goes On ultimately charts new paths toward hope in the aftermaths, and visions for our collective survival.Â

Never-Ending Tales - Zipes Jack
An anthology of European and American short stories from the 1870s through the 1930s in which Jewish writers respond to antisemitism with humor, satire, irony, and hopeBetween the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Jewish writers in Europe and America published countless stories addressing â œthe Jewish Questionâ â ”the intense debate about the treatment of Jews following their so-called emancipation. In Never-Ending Tales, Jack Zipes presents more than two dozen of these stories, which attempted to subvert the antisemitism that the debate represented. Humorous and bittersweet, and filled with ironic reversals, these are stories of fantasy, magic, and transformationâ ”tales about little people who assert their humanity; about the Golem, the gargantuan savior of Jews; about rabbis who use wisdom and patience to protect their people; and much more. While illuminating the problems faced by Jews of the period, from assimilation and conversion to pogroms and fascism, these stories offer hope about surviving and overcoming antisemitism. Bringing together brilliant stories by well-known authors such as Sholem Aleichem, Karl Emil Franzos, Mynona, I. L. Peretz, and Israel Zangwill, and tales by lesser-known writers that deserve more attention, Never-Ending Tales also features a short novel, Hugo Bettauerâ ™s The City without Jews: A Novel about the Near Future (1924), a satire in which the gentiles of Vienna rid the city of Jews only to find themselves hopeless without them. In addition, the anthology includes, for historical and literary context, an antisemitic story, â œThe Operated Jew,â by Oskar Panizza, to which another story in the collectionâ ”Mynonaâ ™s â œThe Operated Goyâ â ”is a direct reply; important historical essays on the Jewish Question by Theodor Herzl and Leo W. Schwarz; and brief biographies.

Toulky s Puff. Lehká hra života a smrti - Richard Bach
V Toulkách s Puff, kde Richard Bach popisuje svoji cestu z Floridy do Washingtonu malým hydroplánem pokřtěným Puff, navazuje autor nejen na tradici Johna Steinbecka a jeho Toulek s Charliem, ale také na svůj vlastní bestseller s názvem Iluze. Richard Bach, autor světoznámého bestselleru Jonathan Livingston Racek, který se udržel dva roky na první příčce žebříčku New York Times (prodalo se 40 miliónů výtisků), havaroval na rozjezdové dráze při startu svého malého, amatérsky postaveného vodního letounu. Stalo se to den poté, co dokončil svoji novou knihu Touky s Puff, v níž vypráví příběh právě o tomto letadle a dobrodružstvích, co v něm zažil. Se svým pověstným humorem, moudrostí a bohatými zkušenostmi pilota zpochybňuje naše vžité představy o osudu a budoucnosti. Můžeme najít bezpečí? A je bezpečí opravdu vždy to, po čem nejvíc toužíme? Richard David Bach (* 23. června 1936 v Oak Park, Illinois, USA), pilot, letecký mechanik a spisovatel se proslavil především bestsellerem Jonathan Livingston Racek z roku 1970 a filmem, jenž byl na jeho náměty natočen. V jeho knihách se často objevuje jeho láska k letectví, jež je jeho koníčkem od 17 let a kterému se věnuje dodnes. Richard Bach je autorem řady beletristických i faktických prací, kromě Jonathana Livingstona Racka jsou to např. Iluze (1977), Most přes navždy (1978), Nikdo není daleko (1979), Jediný (1988), série Knih fretek (2002-2005) ad. Většina jeho děl je částečně autobiografická a prostřednictvím aktuálních nebo snových témat ilustruje svoji filosofii.

Richard III - William Shakespeare
Richard III is one of the finest of Shakespeareâ ™s historical dramas. Although it has a huge cast, Richard himself, gleefully wicked, charismatically Machiavellian, always dominates the play: a role to gratify such leading actors as David Garrick, Laurence Olivier, Anthony Sher, Ian McKellen and Al Pacino. Since, in real life, political Machiavellianism is never out of date, Richard III remains perennially topical. Numerous revivals on stage and screen have demonstrated the enduring cogency of this drama about the lethally corrupting quest for power.Richard III is the twenty-first play in the Wordsworth Classicsâ ™ Shakespeare Series. The Times Literary Supplement says: â ˜Many students and ordinary readers will be grateful to Watts and his publishers for making such useful editions available at such low cost.â ™

Richard Rogers on Modern Architecture - Rogers Richard
â ˜Thames Hudsonâ ™s new, affordable, covetable â ˜Pocket Perspectivesâ ™: beautifully illustrated essays by canonical writersâ ™ Financial Times A manifesto for the future of architectural practice and the necessity of good design to modern life, by renowned British architect Richard Rogers. Written in what architect Richard Rogers regarded as a moment of crisis in modern architecture, this essay considers how the way we build â “ and live â “ might change for the better. Poor design, monotony and inhuman scale are, Roger argues, not the results of a lack of talent nor the failures of the Modern Movement, but of a surrender to exploitative economic systems and inconsiderate business interests. Best known for his work on the Pompidou Centre in Paris, the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg and the Lloyd s building and Millennium Dome in London, Rogers was perhaps the most original and inventive architect of his time, and was a frequent commentator on the contemporary scene. As a practitioner, he was in the best position possible to appreciate how economic forces can create â “ or frustrate â “ good design. A succinct summary of his design philosophies, Richard Rogers on Modern Architecture continues to be a powerful manifesto.

Richard III - William Shakespeare
Written in the early 1590s, Shakespeare s version of the story of Richard III, more properly known as The Tragedy of Richard the Third, depicts events that happened more than a century before. The story is based on the unfinished History of Richard III by Sir Thomas More, writing as the Tudor dynasty was seeking to consolidate its position. Shakespeare portrays his usurping, hunchbacked Richard as truly villainous, with few redeeming features. Yet as he strives to consolidate power, he is a compelling and charismatic character, delivering some of Shakespeare s most memorable lines. As well as the play itself, this edition contains: • An extended introduction that looks at the play s history, its structure, and characters• A glossary of words and terms• Notes on the text • A timeline of William Shakespeare s life and work

Richard II - William Shakespeare
Edited, introduced and annotated by Cedric Watts, M.A., Ph.D., Emeritus Professor of English, University of Sussex.Richard II is one of Shakespeareâ ™s finest works: lucid, eloquent, and boldly structured. It can be seen as a tragedy, or a historical play, or a political drama, or as one part of a vast dramatic cycle which helped to generate Englandâ ™s national identity. Today, to some of us, Richard II may appear conservative; but, in Shakespeareâ ™s day, it could appear subversive: â ˜I am Richard IIâ ™, declared an indignant Queen Elizabeth.Numerous recent revivals in the theatre and on screen have demonstrated the enduring power and poignancy of this drama of the downfall of an egoistic but pitiable monarch.Richard II is the seventeenth volume in the Wordsworth Classicsâ ™ Shakespeare Series, in which each volume has been freshly edited by Cedric Watts.

A devastating diagnosis. A chance for a medical revolution.Skin cancer is this country s most common cancer, and melanoma the deadliest form of it. Richard Scolyer, together with his colleagues at Melanoma Institute Australia, has dedicated years to groundbreaking research and succeeded in transforming even the most advanced cases of melanoma into a largely curable disease. Then last year, at the peak of his life, Richard was devastated when he was diagnosed with an incurable brain cancer. As a world-leading clinician and cancer researcher, Richard was never going to accept the status quo - including a medical approach unchanged in nearly two decades and an expectation of little more than a year to live. He instead chose to undertake world-first experimental treatment for his brain cancer, based on melanoma science. His brave decision could shorten or save his life-the only certainty is that it will push the brain cancer field forward and ultimately help save the lives of others. This is his story.

Richard Filipowski
In this, the first monograph of Richard Filipowski, a major figure bridging the Bauhaus and American midcentury modernism finally gets his due.Richard Filipowski (1923-2008) was among the most gifted polymaths in the annals of American modernism.Whether as a painter, sculptor, or designer of furniture and jewelry, Filipowski developed a lush, abstract, and amazingly consistent visual language that marks him among the finest figures of midcentury art and design. As a student at the Institute of Design (formerly the New Bauhaus) in Chicago, he quickly became a protégé of founder László Moholy-Nagy, who featured several of Filipowski s works in his seminal text Vision in Motion (1947); Filipowski was the only student Moholy-Nagy called upon to join the faculty, where he taught alongside Walter Gropius and Marcel Breuer.Recruited by Gropius to develop a course in design fundamentals at Harvard, which remains a cornerstone of design pedagogy to this day, he would move to MIT where he taught for more than three decades, until his retirement in 1988. With a foreword by László Moholy-Nagy s daughter Hattula, Richard Filipowski: Art and Design Beyond the Bauhaus is the first monograph of this master, who over the course of his career created a unique body of work in diverse media that has largely, until recently, been held in private collections due to his relative lack of compulsion to seek media attention or worldly rewards.But now through the efforts of the Filipowski family and new attention by design scholars - several of whom contribute essays here on Filipowski s graphic and painted works, sculpture, furniture, and position in design history - the work is being revealed to a new generation of aficionados. Richard Filipowski is a rich document of a life and career that is poised to reenter the canon of modernism.
