Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Publications, Historical Society of Southern California, 1918-1920, Vol. 11 Frenchmen on this Spanish system, I Should have desired that to the principles of Christianity they had joined a legislation which, little by little, could have made citizens of the men whose state does not differ from that of the negroes of our most humanely governed colonies.23 Perhaps, they concluded, this system had been adopted for powerful' reasons Of state, with the Object of extending the Spanish interests further north. These Frenchmen were much interested, also, in the natural resources of California, since the richness and fertility of the country were not generally known. The records of La Perouse furnished the first information France had, taken from actual Observation, of California, but he saw little of the country below Monterey, nor was he informed by the Spanish of their outposts in the South. The missionaries had taken but Slight advantage of the possibilities Of the fertile soils around Monterey, and outside Of growing some few grains and vegetables, they had made but few experiments along agricultural lines. La Perouse realized that many kinds of grains, vegetables, and fruit trees could easily be raised, and' he gave the padres new seeds for experimental use. California also is indebted to him for the introduction of the potato, which he brought with him from Chile. The fur trade, too, was of interest to the Frenchmen. La Perouse estimated that twenty thousand skins a year were available for exportation from California to China, where the Chinese man darins furnished an almost unlimited demand for valuable Skins. Although the Spanish and Russian traders were already collecting pelts up and down the coast from Kamchatka to Monterey, yet La Perouse felt that there was also a wide field there for private French companies. He did not advise the French Government to establish a factory, however, since he considered that this trade would be more valuable in the hands of private French merchants.

Download or read book The Threat of Pandemic Influenza written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2005-04-09 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public health officials and organizations around the world remain on high alert because of increasing concerns about the prospect of an influenza pandemic, which many experts believe to be inevitable. Moreover, recent problems with the availability and strain-specificity of vaccine for annual flu epidemics in some countries and the rise of pandemic strains of avian flu in disparate geographic regions have alarmed experts about the world's ability to prevent or contain a human pandemic. The workshop summary, The Threat of Pandemic Influenza: Are We Ready? addresses these urgent concerns. The report describes what steps the United States and other countries have taken thus far to prepare for the next outbreak of "killer flu." It also looks at gaps in readiness, including hospitals' inability to absorb a surge of patients and many nations' incapacity to monitor and detect flu outbreaks. The report points to the need for international agreements to share flu vaccine and antiviral stockpiles to ensure that the 88 percent of nations that cannot manufacture or stockpile these products have access to them. It chronicles the toll of the H5N1 strain of avian flu currently circulating among poultry in many parts of Asia, which now accounts for the culling of millions of birds and the death of at least 50 persons. And it compares the costs of preparations with the costs of illness and death that could arise during an outbreak.

Download or read book Flu written by Gina Kolata and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Veteran journalist Gina Kolata's Flu: The Story of the Great Influenza Pandemic of 1918 and the Search for the Virus That Caused It presents a fascinating look at true story of the world's deadliest disease. In 1918, the Great Flu Epidemic felled the young and healthy virtually overnight. An estimated forty million people died as the epidemic raged. Children were left orphaned and families were devastated. As many American soldiers were killed by the 1918 flu as were killed in battle during World War I. And no area of the globe was safe. Eskimos living in remote outposts in the frozen tundra were sickened and killed by the flu in such numbers that entire villages were wiped out. Scientists have recently rediscovered shards of the flu virus frozen in Alaska and preserved in scraps of tissue in a government warehouse. Gina Kolata, an acclaimed reporter for The New York Times, unravels the mystery of this lethal virus with the high drama of a great adventure story. Delving into the history of the flu and previous epidemics, detailing the science and the latest understanding of this mortal disease, Kolata addresses the prospects for a great epidemic recurring, and, most important, what can be done to prevent it.
