An urgent wake-up call about the future of emerging viruses and a gripping account of the doctors and scientists fighting to protect us, told through the story of the deadly 2013?2014 Ebola epidemic＜/p＞ ＜p＞“＜em＞Crisis in the Red Zone＜/em＞ reads like a thriller. That the story it tells is all true makes it all more terrifying.”ーElizabeth Kolbert, Pulitzer Prize?winning author of ＜em＞The Sixth Extinction＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞From the #1 bestselling author of ＜em＞The Hot Zone,＜/em＞ now a National Geographic original miniseries . . .**＜/p＞ ＜p＞This time, Ebola started with a two-year-old child who likely had contact with a wild creature and whose entire family quickly fell ill and died. The ensuing global drama activated health professionals in North America, Europe, and Africa in a desperate race against time to contain the viral wildfire. By the endーas the virus mutated into its deadliest form, and spread farther and faster than ever beforeー30,000 people would be infected, and the dead would be spread across eight countries on three continents.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In this taut and suspenseful medical drama, Richard Preston deeply chronicles the pandemic, in which we saw for the first time the specter of Ebola jumping continents, crossing the Atlantic, and infecting people in America. Rich in characters and conflictーphysical, emotional, and ethicalー＜em＞Crisis in the Red Zone＜/em＞ is an immersion in one of the great public health calamities of our time.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Preston writes of doctors and nurses in the field putting their own lives on the line, of government bureaucrats and NGO administrators moving, often fitfully, to try to contain the outbreak, and of pharmaceutical companies racing to develop drugs to combat the virus. He also explores the charged ethical dilemma over who should and did receive the rare doses of an experimental treatment when they became available at the peak of the disaster.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Crisis in the Red Zone＜/em＞ makes clear that the outbreak of 2013?2014 is a harbinger of further, more severe outbreaks, and of emerging viruses heretofore unimaginedーin any country, on any continent. In our ever more interconnected world, with roads and towns cut deep into the jungles of equatorial Africa, viruses both familiar and undiscovered are being unleashed into more densely populated areas than ever before.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The more we discover about the virosphere, the more we realize its deadly potential. ＜em＞Crisis in the Red Zone＜/em＞ is an exquisitely timely book, a stark warning of viral outbreaks to come.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 1,088円 |

In The Ebola Outbreak in West Africa, author Constantine N. Nana attempts to better understand the outbreak and answer the question: why?＜/p＞ ＜p＞Through meticulous research, combing through misleading media reports and equivocal academic papers, Nana takes a close look at the chain of events.

 GIS and Machine Learning for Small Area Classifications in Developing Countries【電子書籍】[ Adegbola Ojo ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Since the emergence of contemporary area classifications, population geography has witnessed a renaissance in the area of policy related spatial analysis. Area classifications subsume geodemographic systems which often use data mining techniques and machine learning algorithms to simplify large and complex bodies of information about people and the places in which they live, work and undertake other social activities. Outputs developed from the grouping of small geographical areas on the basis of multi- dimensional data have proved beneficial particularly for decision-making in the commercial sectors of a vast number of countries in the northern hemisphere. This book argues that small area classifications offer countries in the Global South a distinct opportunity to address human population policy related challenges in novel ways using area-based initiatives and evidence-based methods.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book exposes researchers, practitioners, and students to small area segmentation techniques for understanding, interpreting, and visualizing the configuration, dynamics, and correlates of development policy challenges at small spatial scales. It presents strategic and operational responses to these challenges in cost effective ways. Using two developing countries as case studies, the book connects new transdisciplinary ways of thinking about social and spatial inequalities from a scientific perspective with GIS and Data Science. This offers all stakeholders a framework for engaging in practical dialogue on development policy within urban and rural settings, based on real-world examples.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Features:＜/p＞ ＜ul＞ ＜li＞＜/li＞ ＜li＞The first book to address the huge potential of small area segmentation for sustainable development, combining explanations of concepts, a range of techniques, and current applications.＜/li＞ ＜li＞＜/li＞ ＜li＞Includes case studies focused on core challenges that confront developing countries and provides thorough analytical appraisal of issues that resonate with audiences from the Global South.＜/li＞ ＜li＞＜/li＞ ＜li＞Combines GIS and machine learning methods for studying interrelated disciplines such as Demography, Urban Science, Sociology, Statistics, Sustainable Development and Public Policy.＜/li＞ ＜li＞＜/li＞ ＜li＞Uses a multi-method approach and analytical techniques of primary and secondary data.＜/li＞ ＜li＞＜/li＞ ＜li＞Embraces a balanced, chronological, and well sequenced presentation of information, which is very practical for readers.＜/li＞ ＜/ul＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 11,109円 |

 Representing Ebola Culture, Law, and Public Discourse about the 2013?2015 West African Ebola Outbreak【電子書籍】[ Marouf A. Hasian Jr. ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Representing Ebola provides readers with a critical legal analysis of the recent West African Ebola Outbreak. The author argues that a review of the scientific, military, legal, economic, political, and mediated coverage of this latest outbreak highlights the ways that organizations like the World Health Organization or Doctors Without Borders want to conceptualize the importance of rapid emergence from the West during African Ebola epidemics. The author concludes that while the U.S. military and other organizations prided themselves on their belated responses to this outbreak oftentimes journalists, scientists, and others overlooked the contributions that were made by contract tracers and indigenous public health workers. Sadly, the 2013-2015 West African outbreak took the lives of thousands of individuals, and the author contends that this contributed to sensationalist ways of representing local burial and food habits. The book concludes by noting that while many West African leaders appreciated the billions of dollars of promised aid that would flow toward this region in the wake of the Ebola outbreak real “health security” measures have to involve longer term infrastructural changes. Talk of how Westerners rescued the West Africans need to be augmented with more nuanced ways of thinking about how many of those who actually battled Ebola need to become part of future conversations regarding everything from theories of “aerial” transmission to the steps that need to be taken during the first few weeks of recorded outbreaks.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 11,919円 |
