Hospital executives are concerned about the hospital’s image and the possible negative publicity. And Maggie Hamilton, the infectious Diseases Specialist, is perplexed where he could have acquired the disease. After medical scrutiny, they found that Alex suffered from a “weapons grade” strain of Ebola infection that could potentially spread and become a worldwide lethal epidemic. As more evidence surfaces, the medical specialist and her newfound FBI friend, find themselves travelling across the country to locate the perpetrators before the elixir is unleashed upon the world.

Book excerpt: Certain images create an inerasable imprint. Like… “…the images of two mothers…my Ma and my Ayah. One in the form of Sita, that mythological heroine from Ramayana who silently withstood the onslaught of miseries as well as sufferings… the other embodying the spirit of the mythological figure of Nemesis, synonymous with retribution and revenge and destroying the devil and evil.” “…With a blood-soaked butcher knife on the right hand and blood-stained heavy metal rod on the other, with bloody scars and spats on the face and dress all around, the figure appeared with a posture firm and strong.” “He… turned around only to see a wearied, downcast Gopal in the elevator mirror… Here he was standing like a convict in a jail cell for no fault of his. He felt sympathy… for that prisoner of life. In that life, Lady Justice had been truly wearing the blindfold while tilting the balance of the scales first with hope and happiness and then dumping the other side with desolateness and depression.” The bouquet of stories thus is a microcosm of the eternal tussle between man and destiny. The resultant conflict of forces and the perennial dilemma that overwhelm the society at large are portrayed in detail using the apt situation and the right character. The book is embellished with such enduring images.

Download or read book Elixir written by Barbara J. Martin and published by . This book was released on 2014-02-24 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the height of the Great Depression, the mysterious deaths of children in Oklahoma sparked an unprecedented investigation of a new and powerful antibiotic elixir. In a "nationwide race with death," US government agents struggled to seize and destroy hundreds of bottles of the toxic drug before more children could be killed. Elixir tells the shocking true story of the deaths of more than 100 Americans who fell victim to this untested drug, the forces that led to the disaster, and the parallels to similar episodes of drug poisoning that continue to this day.Barbara J. Martin has compiled the most detailed historical account to date of this vast pharmaceutical tragedy and the myriad reactions to the fatal poisonings-from the manufacturer, the prescribing doctors, the dispensing pharmacists, and the organizations that had a significant stake in this tragedy, including the American Medical Association, the Food and Drug Administration, and Congress. Elixir follows this industrial catastrophe to its alarming conclusion with important insights for the 21st century.

Book Synopsis The Black Widows of the Eternal City by : Craig A. Monson
Download or read book The Black Widows of the Eternal City written by Craig A. Monson and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2020-09-21 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Black Widows of the Eternal City offers, for the first time, a book-length study of an infamous cause célèbre in seventeenth-century Rome, how it resonated then and has continued to resonate: the 1659 investigation and prosecution of Gironima Spana and dozens of Roman widows, who shared a particularly effective poison to murder their husbands. This notorious case has been frequently discussed over 350 years, but the earliest writers concentrated more on fortifying their reading constituency’s shared attitudes than accurately narrating facts. Subsequent authors remained largely content to follow their predecessors or keen to improve upon them. Most recent writers and bloggers were unaware that their earlier sources were generally unconcerned with a correct portrayal of real events. In the present study, Craig A. Monson takes advantage of a recent discovery—the 1,450-page notary’s transcript of the 1659 investigation. It is supplemented here by many ancillary archival sources, unknown to all previous writers. Since the story of Gironima Spana and the would-be widows is partially about what people believed to be true, however, this investigation also juxtaposes some of the “alternative facts” from earlier, sensational accounts with what the notary’s transcript and other, more reliable archival documents reveal. Written in a style that avoids arcane idioms and specialist jargon, the book can potentially speak to students and general readers interested in seventeenth-century social history and gender issues. It rewrites the life story of Gironima Spana (largely unknown until now), who has dominated all earlier accounts, usually in caricatures that reiterate the tropes of witchcraft. It also concentrates on the dozen other widows whose stories could be the most recovered from archival sources and whom Spana had totally eclipsed in earlier accounts. Most were women “of a very ordinary sort” (prostitutes; beggars; wives of butchers, barbers, dyers, lineners, innkeepers), the kinds of women commonly lost to history. The book seeks to explain why some women were hanged (only six, in fact, most of whom may not have directly poisoned anyone), while dozens of others who did poison their husbands escaped the gallows and, in some cases, were not even interrogated. It also reveals what happened to these other alleged perpetrators, whose fates have remained unknown until now. Other purported culprits, about whom less complete pictures emerge, are briefly discussed in an appendix. The study incorporates illustrations of archival manuscripts to demonstrate the challenges of deciphering them and illustrates “scenes of the crime” and other important locations, identified on seventeenth-century, bird’s eye-perspective views of Rome and in modern photographs. It also includes GPS coordinates for any who might wish to revisit the sites.
Book Synopsis To Be Nsala's Daughter by : Chérie N. Rivers
Download or read book To Be Nsala's Daughter written by Chérie N. Rivers and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2022-12-16 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In To Be Nsala’s Daughter, Chérie N. Rivers shows how colonial systems of normalized violence condition the way we see and, through collaboration with contemporary Congolese artists, imagines ways we might learn to see differently. Rivers focuses on a photograph of a Congolese man, Nsala, looking at the disembodied hand and foot of his daughter, which were removed as punishment for his failure to deliver the requisite amount of rubber in King Léopold’s Congo. This photograph, taken by British missionary Alice Seeley Harris, featured prominently in abolitionist campaigns to end colonial atrocities in Central Africa in the early twentieth century. But in addition to exposing the visible violence of colonialism, Rivers argues, this photograph also exposes the invisible—and continued—violence of the colonial gaze. With a poetic, personal collage of stories and images, To Be Nsala’s Daughter traces the past and present of the colonial gaze both in Congo and in the author’s lived experience as a mixed-race Black woman in the United States.

Book Synopsis The Supreme Witness by : Matthew Theisen
Download or read book The Supreme Witness written by Matthew Theisen and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2008-04 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Daniel Tines has become convinced he is the incarnation of the Hindu god, Shiva, lord of fertility and destruction. However, if such awareness is real, it brings him little comfort. Caught between trying to enlighten the scenery and characters around him or detaching into narcissism and watching events unfold without compassion, Daniel struggles with the innate insanity of concurring creation and death. If there are no causes left to fight for, he foresees no sense in committing himself to the continual bombardment of his senses and mind by external stimuli seeking to control him. Disengaged and commitment-phobic, he searches for goddesses to mate with, yet believes he is not intended to breed, for part of his duty as Shiva is to end the cycle of the deus ex machina. Doubting whether he dances the cosmic gavotte or simply away from problems, he half-heartedly pursues education, careers, and life in the military. The Supreme Witness is told in four narrative forms and spans the years between 1980-1990.
Book Synopsis White Prescriptions? by : Terence D. Fitzgerald
Download or read book White Prescriptions? written by Terence D. Fitzgerald and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-11-17 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For all the debates about black males and their role in American society, there has been little attention to a dangerous and growing trend: the overprescription of Ritalin and other behavioral drugs. This book reveals how and why black males are disproportionately targeted and controlled by American schools in ways that hamper and endanger their educational success. Fitzgerald shows how the government, medical practitioners, and the pharmaceuticals industry have facilitated this oppressive trend, setting it against a larger historical backdrop of racism in American education.

Download or read book Freedom to Die written by Derek Humphrey and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2000-04-17 with total page 692 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The strength of the right-to-die movement was underscored as early as 1991, when Derek Humphry published Final Exit, the movement's call to arms that inspired literally hundreds of thousands of Americans who wished to understand the concepts of assisted suicide and the right to die with dignity. Now Humphry has joined forces with attorney Mary Clement to write Freedom to Die, which places this civil rights story within the framework of American social history. More than a chronology of the movement, this book explores the inner motivations of an entire society. Reaching back to the years just after World War II, Freedom to Die explores the roots of the movement and answers the question: Why now, at the end of the twentieth century, has the right-to-die movement become part of the mainstream debate? In a reasoned voice, which stands out dramatically amid the vituperative clamoring of the religious right, the authors examine the potential dangers of assisted suicide - suggesting ways to avert the negative consequences of legalization - even as they argue why it should be legalized.
