Book excerpt: Anyone who has sampled even a few of the most commonly read Greek texts will have encountered pollution. The pollution of bloodshed is a frequent theme of tragedy: Orestes is driven mad; Oedipus brings plague upon all Thebes. In historical texts we find cities intervening in the internalaffairs of others to `drive out the pollution', or making war on account of it. Political orators represent their opponents as polluting demons. Purity is a constant concern in ritual texts, and any Greek underwent many small purifications in his everyday life. Certain abnormal religiousmovements of the archaic age made `purification' the path to felicity in the afterlife. First published in hardback in 1983, Miasma is the first work in English to treat this theme in detail.

Book excerpt: "It is the summer of 1854. Cholera has seized London with unprecedented intensity. A metropolis of more than 2 million people, London is just emerging as one of the first modern cities in the world. But lacking the infrastructure necessary to support its dense population - garbage removal, clean water, sewers - the city has become the perfect breeding ground for a terrifying disease that no one knows how to cure." "As their neighbors begin dying, two men are spurred to action: the Reverend Henry Whitehead, whose faith in a benevolent God is shaken by the seemingly random nature of the victims, and Dr. John Snow, whose ideas about contagion have been dismissed by the scientific community, but who is convinced that he knows how the disease is being transmitted. The Ghost Map chronicles the outbreak's spread and the desperate efforts to put an end to the epidemic - and solve the most pressing medical riddle of the age."--BOOK JACKET.
Download or read book The Miasma written by Joseph Robins and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries medical men decried the notion that epidemic disease was contagious, that it might be spread by minute unseen organisms. Instead they blamed foul vapours in the atmosphere which somehow combined to form a deadly, indiscriminate miasma. Meanwhile government remained rooted to the belief that poverty and illness lay outside the remit of the ruling classes: social conditions were allowed to deteriorate, destroying the capacity of the poor to resist. To the great mass of the people the horrifying symptoms and huge mortality seemed like divine wrath- or diabolical possession. There was no escape, nothing to do but flee. This book uncovers a nation's fear in the face of catastrophic disease that was beyond its comprehension. It describes the disarray of the doctors and the conflicting theories about how disease spread.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the New York Times bestselling author of You Should Have Known and Admission, a twisty new novel about a college president, a baffling student protest, and some of the most hot-button issues on today's college campuses. Naomi Roth is the first female president of Webster College, a once conservative school now known for producing fired-up, progressive graduates. So Naomi isn't surprised or unduly alarmed when Webster students begin the fall semester with an outdoor encampment around "The Stump"-a traditional campus gathering place for generations of student activists-to protest a popular professor's denial of tenure. A former student radical herself, Naomi admires the protestors' passion, especially when her own daughter, Hannah, joins their ranks. Then Omar Khayal, a charismatic Palestinian student with a devastating personal history, emerges as the group's leader, and the demonstration begins to consume Naomi's life, destabilizing Webster College from the inside out. As the crisis slips beyond her control, Naomi must take increasingly desperate measures to protect her friends, colleagues, and family from an unknowable adversary. Touching on some of the most topical and controversial concerns at the heart of our society, this riveting novel examines the fragility that lies behind who we think we are-and what we think we believe.

Download or read book Miasma written by Richard Coronato and published by . This book was released on 2010-09-01 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Miasma is the biological life-force directing the development of life on Earth. Over billions of years it has been responsible, as an example, for the great epoch of the dinosaur as well as for their sudden extinction. It counts among its recent achievements the coaxing forth of human beings from their simian origins, but now it's amusing itself with a more subtle tinkering with human DNA.In a small town in Montana just outside of Glacier National Park on a warm summer afternoon, Johnny Watson calmly drives his car into a tree, Sarah Keane attempts suicide at her kitchen sink, four boys are attacked by a man-bear while exploring the nearby ravine and a strange plague ravages the wildlife in the park.These characters and events are the basis of a tale that goes as far back as the Creation and whose latter day events include the Lewis and Clark Expedition, and the Legends of Blackfeet Indians. These historic events provide colorful flashbacks for the context to this ancient place in Montana, but the main story focuses on the lives of Johnny and Sarah and their growing love affair --- and what purpose the Miasma has in store for them as the forebears of a new super-species of mankind.
Download or read book City Economics written by Brendan O'Flaherty and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2005-10-30 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This introductory but innovative textbook on the economics of cities is aimed at students of urban and regional policy as well as of undergraduate economics. It deals with standard topics, including automobiles, mass transit, pollution, housing, and education but it also discusses non-standard topics such as segregation, water supply, sewers, garbage, fire prevention, housing codes, homelessness, crime, illicit drugs, and economic development. Its methods of analysis are primarily verbal, geometric, and arithmetic. The author achieves coherence by showing how the analysis of various topics reinforces one another. Thus, buses can tell us something about schools and optimal tolls about land prices. Brendan O'Flaherty looks at almost everything through the lens of Pareto optimality and potential Pareto optimality--how policies affect people and their well-being, not abstract entities such as cities or the economy or growth or the environment. Such traditionalism leads to radical questions, however: Should cities have police and fire departments? Should tax preferences for home ownership be repealed? Should public schools charge for their services? O'Flaherty also gives serious consideration to such heterodox policies as pay-at-the-pump auto insurance, curb rights for buses, land taxes, marginal cost water pricing, and sidewalk zoning.
