Emanating from a working group of the American Psychological Association, this comprehensive volume provides a blueprint for pandemic preparedness for health and mental health professionals. It reviews the actual experiences faced by practitioners during the current Covid crisis, and provides historical context of past health crises, such as the 1918 flu epidemic. Lessons learned from previous health disasters are utilized to provide guidelines and best practices for managing large scale health crises.

The occurrence of pollutants of emerging concern in remote Polar environments is considered an essential criterion for prioritising this (largely neglected) type of contamination in national, international and global regulation schemes. Initiated during the first international Polar Years (IPY 2007-2009) and continued afterwards, 11 representative initiati...
