International Health Statecraft
In International Health Statecraft, Ulysses B. Panisset addresses the question of whether international health phenomena, such as the 1991 cholera epidemic in Peru, influence the international relations of the affected country. The speed and volume at which people, commodities and microorganisms are currently crossing borders has increased significantly over the past decades, and as a result has changed the scope of international health. Panisset proposes a novel analytic model to help develop global cooperation and far-reaching policies that anticipate and respond to pandemics, regional environmental toxicology disasters, and other health phenomena. Organized into five cohesive chapters, International Health Statecraft will be of interest to foreign policy and public health decision-makers, analysts, students, and scholars.

ETERNALLY YOUNG
"Eternally Young" is a book that explores the various factors that contribute to a long and healthy life. While acknowledging the importance of genetics, the book stresses that longevity is not determined solely by our genes. Instead, it proposes a holistic approach to health and wellness, highlighting the importance of a balanced diet, regular exercise, emotional well-being and positive social relationships.

Through research and personal anecdotes, the book explores a wide range of topics related to longevity, from the benefits of a plant-based diet to the importance of social connection and community. The book also addresses the topic of aging, presenting it as a complex, multidimensional process that can have both positive and negative aspects. Rather than focusing on the negative aspects of aging, the book focuses on how to maximize our chances of aging healthily, to live longer, happier and fuller lives. "Eternally Young" offers a holistic and hopeful approach to longevity and wellness, empowering readers to take charge of their health and contribute to a healthier world.
