Waterborne Illnesses
As Earth's population has continued to grow, reaching 7 billion people in 2011, much of the planet's available fresh water has become polluted, making it unfit for drinking, cooking, or bathing, and contributing to deadly maladies known as waterborne illnesses. This book will provide an overview of waterborne illnesses and explain the magnitude of the problem. Individual chapters focus on defining and explaining waterborne illnesses, such as Cholera, Dysentery, Hepatitis A, Polio, Typhoid Fever, and SARs, identifying sources of water contamination and geographic areas most affected, and exploring how natural disasters may greatly magnify the problem. Global efforts to prevent waterborne illness are also discussed.

Execution by Family
Across many parts of the world, violence inflicted in the name of family honor is attracting an increasing amount of attention. Family honor violence, otherwise known as honor-based violence, is physical force inflicted primarily on women for conduct defined as dishonorable. This book explores these conflicts of honor, how they are triggered, how they are handled, and why some lead to death. Drawing on a range of case studies and employing Donald Black’s concept of social geometry, Execution by Family incorporates and goes beyond patriarchy, culture, and kinship to develop a unified theory of family honor violence. It discusses the "honor belt," a series of countries stretching from north ...
Progresso
Erano veramente così belli, i “bei tempi andati”? Povertà, malnutrizione, analfabetismo, mortalità infantile: prima di quella straordinaria creazione di ricchezza innescata dalla Rivoluzione industriale, questo era il contesto nel quale vivevano le persone, ovunque in OccidenteSenza elettricità, antibiotici e vaccini, con una dieta incredibilmente monotona e insalubre, erano costrette a sottoporsi, quando necessario, a operazioni chirurgiche assai rischiose e realizzate senza anestesia. Con questo libro, Johan Norberg ci ricorda i nostri progressi: in pochi anni abbiamo raggiunto traguardi inimmaginabili per buona parte della storia dell’umanità. Ad esempio, la probabilità che un...

Fortschritt
Unsere Welt scheint zu kollabieren. Jeden Tag werden wir von Nachrichten erschlagen, wie schlimm alles ist – Klimakollaps, Weltsystemcrash, Arbeitslosigkeit, Armut, Krankheit, Hunger und Krieg. Es scheint als stünde unsere Welt am Rande des Zusammenbruchs, und doch haben wir in den letzten 100 Jahren mehr Fortschritte gemacht als in den ersten 100 000 Jahren der Menschheitsgeschichte. Während Politiker, Journalisten und Aktivisten auf allen Seiten über Schäden und Verursacher sprechen, bietet Johan Norberg einen erhellenden und ermutigenden Fortschrittsbericht zur Lösung der größten Probleme der Menschheit. Aller Panikmache und Schwarzseherei zum Trotz sind die Fakten eindeutig: Das goldene Zeitalter ist jetzt.
