The Second Wave : The NHS Family and the Fight with COVID-19
by Glenn Dene and Dr Ami Jones
English | 2021 | ASIN: B09BR3WF6W | 112 Pages | ePUB | 26 MB
As COVID-19 struck, the nation found itself humbled by the selfless attitude displayed by NHS staff across the UK. People clapped, drew rainbows, provided food - anything to show appreciation for those whose working day meant exhaustion, the risk of life-threatening illness and constant emotional stress. But as one wave ended, the second wasn't far behind.
Join photographer Glenn Dene and Dr. Ami Jones as they say farewell to Nevill Hall Hospital and hello to Grange University Hospital, all while dealing with the trauma of the global pandemic and its effects on their department and community.
"While nearly everyone in the photographs wears a mask, Dene's unflinching eye has captured some deeper truth about the toll of this ongoing pandemic, seen on the faces of the ceaseless, exhausted medics and their patients." - David Griffiths, Buzz Magazine Wales

Gigi Foster, Paul Frijters, Michael Baker, "The Great Covid Panic: What Happened, Why, and What To Do Next"
English | 2021 | ISBN: 1630692778 | 408 pages | EPUB | 1.4 MB
How to make sense of the astonishing upheaval of Spring 2020 and following? Normal life - in which expected rights and freedoms were taken for granted - came to be replaced by a new society as managed by a medical/ruling elite that promised but failed to deliver virus mitigation, all in the name of public health. Meanwhile, we've lost so much of what we once had: travel freedoms, privacy, a democratic presumption of equality, commercial freedoms, and even the access to information portals. Something has gone very wrong.
To make sense of it all, the Brownstone Institute is pleased to announce the publication of The Great Covid Panic: What Happened, Why, and What To Do Next, by Paul Frijters, Gigi Foster, and Michael Baker. Combining rigorous scholarship with evocative and accessible prose, the book covers all the issues central to the pandemic and the disastrous policy response, a narrative as comprehensive as it is intellectually devastating. In short, this is THE book the world needs right now.
In the Great Panic of early 2020, nearly every government in the world restricted the movement of its population, disrupted the education of its children, suspended normal individual liberties, hijacked its healthcare system, and in other ways increased its direct control of people's lives. Attempts to control the new coronavirus in most countries made the number of deaths from both the virus and other health problems rise. Some countries and regions snapped out of the madness in early 2021 or even before. Yet other governments, still in 2021, were ever more fanatically obsessed with control.
Why did 2020 become, so suddenly and so forcefully, a year of global panic over a virus that for most people is barely more dangerous than a standard-issue flu virus? This book reveals how the madness started, what kept it going, and how it might end. This is also a book about stories and experiences, some real and some fictionalized to protect identities. Join Jane the complier, James the decider, and Jasmine the doubter, the three core protagonists of the narrative part of the book. Their experiences illustrate what happened to individuals and through them to whole societies, telling us - if we care to listen - how to avoid a repeat. This literary presentation is mixed with detailed reports of the actual data and deep research that has generally been obscured in the midst of media madness and obfuscation by public-health authority.
"A tour-de-force on how the pandemic response was driven by fear, crowd thinking, big business and a desire for control, rather than by sound public health principles. This is bound to be a classic." ~ Professor Martin Kulldorff, Harvard Medical School
"When I received the manuscript, I was hooked from the first page and knew then that I would miss a full night's sleep. I did indeed. My heart raced from beginning to end. As the publisher, I must say that this book is a dream for me, the book I never thought would exist, the book that I believe can change everything." ~ Jeffrey Tucker, Founder Brownstone Institute.

Political Communication in The Time of Coronavirus
by Peter Van Aelst
English | 2021 | ISBN: 0367771578 | 253 pages | pdf | 5.73 MB
This book examines how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the flows of communication between politicians, journalists, and citizens.
Distinguished contributors grapple with how the pandemic, as a global unexpected event, disrupted the communication process and changed the relationships between politics, media, and publics, the three central players of political communication. Using different methodologies, they scrutinize changes in government communication, (new) media coverage, and public opinion during this crisis. The book moves beyond the USA and Western Europe to include cases from Eastern Europe, Latin America, and Asia, taking into account how variations in the political context, the media system and personal leadership can influence how the COVID-19 pandemic challenged the political communication process.
It is an ideal text for advanced students and scholars of political communication, political science, and media studies.

Maurice and Peter Schmidt, Maurice Schmidt, Peter Schmidt, "Corona-VIX: The Lethal Strain"
English | 2021 | ISBN: 1777057469 | 290 pages | EPUB | 0.75 MB
Humanity stands on the verge of collapse as resilient strains of the virus thwart attempts at bringing it under control. Ever elusive, mutations circumvent defences and progressively become more lethal. Initially, prophylactic cures prove to be effective, but even these succumb to the evolution of the virus. Its constant adaptation to find an impenetrable niche drives it forward under the mantra of survival of the fittest. Ultimately a strain emerges that explodes onto the population. Camouflaged as asymptomatic, it proliferates for a long dormancy before unleashing its malevolence, cutting short the host's life within days.
Enclaves emerge with a tenuous semblance of order. Under constant threat of a breach in the barricades, the imposition of strict quarantining protocols fends off infections. As the threat mounts, colonization of Mars emerges as the only viable strategy to ensure the continuity of humanity. Thus a transit station is established on the moon to quarantine migrants before their passage to Mars.
In the cauldron of apocalyptic dystopia, forces compete in a race to find a vaccine while the exodus to Mars ramps up. Bent on domination, some attempt to subvert the world order to their corrupt intent...

COVID in the Islands: A comparative perspective on the Caribbean and the Pacific by Yonique Campbell
English | PDF,EPUB | 2021 | 551 Pages | ISBN : 9811652848 | 24.2 MB
This book provides the first wide-ranging account of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in two contrasting island regions - the Caribbean and the Pacific - and in several islands and island states. It traces the complexity of effects and responses, at different scales, through the first critical year.
Written by a range of scholars and practitioners working in the region the book focuses on six key themes: public health; the economies (notably the collapse of tourism, the revival of local agriculture and fishing, and the rebirth of self-reliance, and even barter); the rescue by remittances; social tensions and responses; public policy; and future 'bubbles' and regional connections. Even with marine borders that excluded the virus all island states were affected by COVID-19 because of a considerable dependence on tourism - prompting urgent challenges for governance, economic management and development, as small states sought to balance lives against livelihoods in search of revitalisation or even a 'new normal'.
Yonique Campbell received a DPhil (PhD) from the University of Oxford and is a Senior Lecturer in Public Policy & Management in the Department of Government at the University of the West Indies, Mona. She also serves as a policy advisor to the Minister of Health and Wellness (Government of Jamaica).
John Connell is Professor of Geography in the School of Geosciences, University of Sydney. He works mainly on small island development issues in the Pacific region and has published several books on migration and colonialism.
