Pushing the Boundaries
In a little pink room in her house, Danica had a wish-board, pinned with overlapping colour pictures from travel magazines of all the places she had ever dreamed of travelling. The board had been staring at her for probably two years; did she ever think it would come to fruition? Danica did some calculations on how much an around the world ticket would cost her. It would be valid for a whole year - could she survive travelling for that length of time, especially on her own? Backpacking through fifteen countries, Danica (a thirty-five year old mother of two teenagers) finds herself experiencing all of the highs and lows of travelling including being chauffeured through India, sleeping in airports, running out of money, meeting funny characters, magical moments, and learning the skills of survival! Sit back in your comfy armchair, and join Danica for this humorous, revealing diary of a lifetime adventure around the world.
Life Indoors
In this timely and expansive book, Wakefield-Rann investigates how emerging disease ecologies are undermining definitions of health and immunity that have persisted since the 19th century, and had a formative influence over the design of not only homes, but entire cities. This wide-ranging account traces the links between the history of medicine, modernist design and architecture, the rise of inflammatory disease, the microbiomes of buildings and humans, antimicrobial resistance, and novel chemical pollutants, to show how indoor environments have made us as we have made them. In highlighting the processes that have been missed in designing perfectly controlled interior habitats, Life Indoors shows the limitations of dominant practices, classifications and philosophies to apprehend current indoor pathogen ecologies.

Health of People, Places and Planet

The third is to encourage emerging and future public health leaders to advocate for policies and cultural change to sustain and improve human health, from a foundation of objective scholarship. The book’s foreword and 38 chapters were written by people who were inspired by Tony; many of whom worked with him at some...
