Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) is a severe and highly contagious disease that has severe impacts on animal and human health, livelihoods, and the economy. At the time of the consultation, the recent panzootic had affected more than 70 countries and territories, resulting in over 11 000 disease events in both wild and domestic bird populations. The disease has also spilled over to several mammalian species, including humans, and may result in severe ecological and biodiversity consequences.

The discovery of a wonderful primary source—the five-year correspondence from Wilson Tong of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force to Edith Harris at Phillip Island—inspired the author to create this rich and unusual memoir, written as she came to terms with a diagnosis of cancer. As the author replies to the long-dead soldier's letters, links and parallels emerge between the young man living with the fear of death and the woman, 80 years later, facing her own death in middle age. She reflects on her life—particularly her childhood on Phillip Island—her work, and her own confrontation with mortality.
Hotel Alcron se v českém hotelnictví stal pojmem i symbolem. Podnik je to výjimečný, neboť přežil všechny turbulentní změny, jimiž se 20. století vyznačovalo, a až na krátkou přestávku po privatizaci v 90. letech 20. století slouží svým hostům ve Štěpánské ulici po celých 90 let. Kniha popisuje založení hotelu, osobnost otce-zakladatele Aloise Krofty i jeho podnikatelské aktivity během první republiky, přechází do doby protektorátu, kdy Alcron hostil převážně německou klientelu, a zkoumá také období po roce 1948 až do současnosti. Publikace přispívá k obohacení veřejného prostoru příběhem slavného hotelu, jehož útrobami kráčely dějiny a mezi jehož zdmi se odehrávaly světlé i tmavé momenty české a československé historie.
