The Herd
In the spring of 2020, as a new and deadly virus rapidly spread across the globe, the world shut down. But a small country in Northern Europe remained open. First, its government instituted no restrictions. Then, it didn’t order the wearing of face masks. While the rest of the world looked on with incredulity, condemnation, admiration, and even envy, a small country in Northern Europe stood alone. As COVID-19 spread across the globe rapidly, the world shut down. But Sweden remained open. The Swedish COVID-19 strategy was alternately lauded and held up as a cautionary tale by international governments and journalists alike — with all eyes on what has been dubbed ‘The Swedish Experiment’. But what made Sweden take such a different path? And did it work? In The Herd, journalist Johan Anderberg narrates this improbable story, guiding the reader through the history and practice of epidemiology, and the ticking-clock decisions that Sweden's pandemic-response decision-makers were faced with on a daily basis. Weaving past and present effortlessly, Anderberg has written a real-life thriller about a nation dealing differently with a global crisis.

Flocken
”Med så många smittade som nu finns i Sverige så kommer smittspridning att ske. Vårt samhälle är inte särskilt annorlunda än Italiens, eller för den delen Kinas, så varför skulle det inte spridas hos oss?” Det är fredagen den 6 mars 2020. Insikten om att Covid-19 inte är en ordinär smitta börjar sprida sig, men Sverige är passivt och Anders Tegnells mejlbox fylls med frågor och råd. Där och då börjar konturerna skönjas på Sveriges sedermera omdiskuterade plan för att möta viruset. I Johan Anderbergs berättelse följer vi spelet kring Sveriges strategi under ett år med Corona-pandemin; hur ordet flockimmunitet förvandlas från en obskyr fackterm till att bli ett av samtidens mest laddade ord, och hur Sverige hamnade i världens blickfång.

Transparency and Other Hot Topics
This e-book explores transparency as both an approach and an outcome in the management of organizations.

Transparency is a method of regulation of business and government, a means of self-regulation promoted by some to ward off even more intrusive regulation, an information policy of organizations, a term of art in economics, trade, architecture, arms control, corruption, human communications, leadership, information technology, and more.
Fighting the First Wave
Why did the world's nations fight the Covid-19 pandemic in such different ways and with such varying results?
Education and the Commercial Mindset
America’s commitment to public schooling once seemed unshakable. But today the movement to privatize K–12 education is stronger than ever. Samuel E. Abrams examines the rise of market forces in public education and reveals how a commercial mindset has taken over. “[An] outstanding book.” —Carol Burris, Washington Post “Given the near-complete absence of public information and debate about the stealth effort to privatize public schools, this is the right time for the appearance of [this book]. Samuel E. Abrams, a veteran teacher and administrator, has written an elegant analysis of the workings of market forces in education.” —Diane Ravitch, New York Review of Books “Education and the Commercial Mindset provides the most detailed and comprehensive analysis of the school privatization movement to date. Students of American education will learn a great deal from it.” —Leo Casey, Dissent
Sweden’s Pandemic Experiment
This book considers Sweden’s pandemic management which differed so significantly from much of the rest of the world: it provoked intense and wide-reaching interest, curiosity and criticism. Trans-disciplinary Swedish authors from the humanities, life sciences, social sciences, and cultural studies use a variety of tools to mine deeper into some of the central elements and dimensions in their country’s pandemic management such as understandings of freedom, the execution of power, denialism, exceptionalism, patriotism, the role of expertise and trust in the national state to give a deeper understanding of Sweden’s decisions, failures, successes, and the lessons to be learned. Aimed at readers with interest in global health and politics it will also be of interest in disciplines such as virology, epidemiology, history, cultural studies, ethics, media studies, medicine and economics.
