Book excerpt: Sheds light on the US government’s response to epidemics through history—with larger conclusions about COVID-19 and reforms needed before the next plague. In this narrative history of the US through major outbreaks of contagious disease, from yellow fever to the Spanish flu, from HIV/AIDS to Ebola, Polly J. Price examines how law and government affected the outcome of epidemics—and how those outbreaks in turn shaped our government. Price presents a fascinating history that has never been fully explored and draws larger conclusions about the gaps in our governmental and legal response. Plagues in the Nation examines how our country learned—and failed to learn—how to address the panic, conflict, and chaos that are the companions of contagion, what policies failed America again and again, and what we must do better next time.

Download or read book Re-Uniting the States written by Matthew-John Calvin and published by LifeRich Publishing. This book was released on 2019-09-25 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since the election of the morally challenged Bill Clinton in 1992, extreme elements in both political parties have been driving deep wedges into America. Re-Uniting The States explains the most troubling issues that are dividing Americans, and charts a path to moderation, compromise, and agreement that will restore bipartisan harmony and fulfill the vision of the brave Christians who won independence for America and gave us a world-leading structure of democratic government. Our revolutionary Founders and our visionary Framers of the Constitution relied upon proven Christian principles, and author Matthew-John Calvin shows us how we can learn from their original concepts to guide America securely onto the safe middle of the political road that they originally charted for our blessed nation. Re-Uniting The States also expresses concern about the extent of political and judicial power being exercised by Roman Catholics and Jews. All should bear in mind the wise words of Abraham Lincoln: “We should be too big to take offence and too noble to give it.” The Founders of this nation and the Framers of the Constitution were firmly committed to advancing Protestant Christian principles, but they were equally determined to welcome to America persons of all faiths and beliefs, so long as they understand and support the values that are the foundation of America.

Download or read book Information Subject written by Mark Poster and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-23 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 2001. In this collection of essays and interviews, Mark Poster examines theoretical approaches and develops his own position on our information based society. He contends that new communications media disrupt and transfigure the way identities are constituted in cultural exchanges. He looks in detail at several aspects of what might be called "internet culture", including virtuality and democracy. Poster advocates an awareness of the Internet and other new forms of communication, calling for a mobilization to ensure accessibility to all and to configure technology into vehicles of open cultural creation. For example, nothing is pure about the Internet politically, he points out, and it remains an open question as to who will transform the potentiality of new communications media into determinate cultural configurations. This book explores the rupture and potentiality between the electronic self and the face-to-face self inherent in new forms of technology and media.
