"Voir un lien entre la pollution de l'air, la biodiversité et la covid-19 relève du surréalisme, pas de la science !", affirmait Luc Ferry en mars 2020, accusant les écologistes de "récupération politique". Voilà un philosophe bien mal informé. Car, depuis les années 2000, des centaines de scientifiques tirent la sonnette d'alarme : les activités humaines, en précipitant l'effondrement de la biodiversité, ont créé les conditions d'une "épidémie de pandémies".

Based on extensive research into the business records of mountain entrepreneurs, country stores, and pharmaceutical companies, Ginseng Diggers: A History of Root and Herb Gathering in Appalachia is the first book to unearth the unique relationship between the Appalachian region and the global trade in medicinal plants. Historian Luke Manget expands our understanding of the gathering commons by exploring how and why Appalachia became the nation’s premier purveyor of botanical drugs in the late-nineteenth century.

Despite the fact that African American lineage has given rise to such undeniable talent, intelligence, and genius as that of Dr. Charles Drew, Dr. Daniel Hale Williams, Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler, and an exhaustive list of many, many others, the proverbial badge of honor in "the white coat" seems to exist as only a mirage of truth until it is achieved. For every budding and current Black doctor seeking guidance, if ever you've wanted to know what it takes to get in, how to stay in, and what it takes to win, consider this the blueprint.

A los mandos de un microscopio ultrapotente y un catéter de alta precisión, el doctor Marsh se abre camino por los intersticios del cerebro. Con frecuencia, de su pericia y de su pulso dependen que un paciente recupere la visión o acabe en una silla de ruedas. Hay días en los que salva vidas, pero también hay jornadas nefastas en las que un pequeño error o una cadena de infortunios lo hacen sentirse el ser más desdichado sobre la faz de la Tierra.

The Second History of Man focuses mostly on bacteria and bacterial infections as the foundation, jumping off into Darwin and evolution, gin and tonics and the discovery of the first antibiotic to treat infection (and it wasn’t penicillin), and visiting with those clever chaps who cook up drugs in the lab. We’ll call upon poets and poetry, celebrities like Frank Sinatra, the Rat Pack, and Bobby Darin, the classical music of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, the tragic story of World War II, Anne Frank and the Holocaust....

Una storia francese del XIX secolo su un aspetto fondante della vita: il venire al mondo, la nascita, il nascere. Nella provincia rurale e soprattutto a Parigi si viene guidati in angoli talora ancora presenti e da riscoprire. E attraverso le vite e le opere di Marie-Anne Boivin e di Stéphane Tarnier si ricostruisce un passaggio epocale del modo di nascere: da arte secolare sviluppata nella pratica, tutta al femminile, delle levatrici ai primi apporti della nascente specialità ostetrico-ginecologica, subito rigorosamente difesa dal monopolio della scienza medica maschile.

This American medical ecological and economic history, a saga of Man, Money, and Medicine or “textbook” of sorts, blossomed primarily for the benefit of Dr. DiLibero's many dear students. He has taught and lectured on the subject of migratory medical ecolo-nomics for many years, and has too often found himself digressing “off on a tangent”, describing particularly interesting moments of historical trivia that have influenced his life.
