Download or read book Rats written by Robert Sullivan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2008-12-11 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Public Library Book for the Teenager New York Public Library Book to Remember PSLA Young Adult Top 40 Nonfiction Titles of the Year "Engaging...a lively, informative compendium of facts, theories, and musings."-Michiko Kakutani, New York Times Behold the rat, dirty and disgusting! Robert Sullivan turns the lowly rat into the star of this most perversely intriguing, remarkable, and unexpectedly elegant New York Times bestseller. Love them or loathe them, rats are here to stay-they are city dwellers as much as (or more than) we are, surviving on the effluvia of our society. In Rats, the critically acclaimed bestseller, Robert Sullivan spends a year investigating a rat-infested alley just a few blocks away from Wall Street. Sullivan gets to know not just the beast but its friends and foes: the exterminators, the sanitation workers, the agitators and activists who have played their part in the centuries-old war between human city dweller and wild city rat. Sullivan looks deep into the largely unrecorded history of the city and its masses-its herds-of-rats-like mob. Funny, wise, sometimes disgusting but always compulsively readable, Rats earns its unlikely place alongside the great classics of nature writing. With an all-new Afterword by the author

Download or read book No One Should Die of Rabies written by Dr. Ashok Banga and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2021-04-29 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the victory of science, and yet, the failure of our system to deliver its benefits to the needy, causing more than 55,000 deaths year after year due to rabies. Why should someone die of rabies when we have all the means to protect each life? Why do developing countries still suffer when developed countries have largely eliminated the disease? Although rabies is incurable, and once contracted equals to a death sentence, it can be effectively prevented with an inexpensive vaccine. These questions, and many more, haunt those whose loved ones are exposed to rabies and yet cannot find clear answers, leading to panic and anxiety. Even medical professionals are not well versed with latest recommendations and methods for dealing with each patient’s unique condition. The abundance of half-baked and misleading information causes further confusion and mismanagement in a time when urgency is crucial. Each rabies death is a failure of our knowledge-sharing and health-care systems. This book contains easy access to medically correct, evidence-based information to aid both doctors and patients in informed decision-making. The author, a doctor and a top writer on Quora – the popular knowledge sharing platform – has made the whole subject easy to understand and interesting to read, with to-the-point answers and without academic jugglery.

Fearless."It's pretty safe to say that Spy was the most influential magazine of the 1980s. It might have remade New York's cultural landscape; it definitely changed the whole tone of magazine journalism. It was cruel, brilliant, beautifully written and perfectly designed, and feared by all. There's no magazine I know of that's so continually referenced, held up as a benchmark, and whose demise is so lamented" --Dave Eggers. "It's a piece of garbage" --Donald Trump.
Download or read book Stowaway written by Joe Shute and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-04-11 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A cultural and social history of the rat, examining how one creature achieved total world domination and has inspired such love and loathing. Rats are creatures which inspire fear and fascination in equal measure. Their lives are more closely entwined with humans than any other animal, but they remain the most misunderstood of all species. Yet, arguably no animal has sacrificed more in the pursuit of human health but also been so resolutely blamed for spreading plague and pestilence. No animal has been so determinedly targeted by humans, and still managed to survive and thrive in our midst. No animal is so often derided as being vicious and cunning, but possesses such a rich and complex inner life. In Stowaway, Joe Shute, explores our complex and often contradictory relationship with the rat. He travels the world from sub-Saharan Africa to the Rocky Mountains and visits some of the most rodent-infested cities on earth to unpick the myths we tell ourselves about rats and investigate the unexplored secrets of their own extraordinary lives. He examines the way in which rats have shaped human history and meets cutting-edge researchers harnessing the power of rat intelligence to achieve incredible results. He explores the hidden world they inhabit beneath our feet as well as their role in natural ecosystems. And through his own pet rats, he discovers the close emotional bonds they form with humans when given the chance. Ultimately, this is a book which questions what the lives of rats reveal to us about our own, and whether there might be a better way to live alongside our ancient enemies in the modern age?
