In this "meticulously researched" account (New York Times Book Review), a Pulitzer Prize-winning author examines the dangers of a failing public health system unequipped to handle large-scale global risks like a coronavirus pandemic.
The New York Times bestselling author of The Coming Plague, Laurie Garrett takes on perhaps the most crucial global issue of our time in this eye-opening book. She asks: is our collective health in a state of decline? If so, how dire is this crisis and has the public health system itself contributed to it? Using riveting detail and finely-honed storytelling, exploring outbreaks around the world, Garrett exposes the underbelly of the world's globalization to find out if it can still be assumed that government can and will protect the people's health, or if that trust has been irrevocably broken.
"A frightening vision of the future and a deeply unsettling one . . . a sober, scary book that not only limns the dangers posed by emerging diseases but also raises serious questions about two centuries' worth of Enlightenment beliefs in science and technology and progress." -- Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times

Beautiful, sturdy and comfortable!
I am very satisfied with this bag! I honestly thought that because the price was so low that it would be more of a lightweight beach bag, however, it is very sturdy and holds so many things. The straps are very thick and comfortable. There are a few pockets inside zippered pockets of some side pockets and a front zipper pocket. I get so many compliments on this bag. Two of my friends actually bought the same bag! I honestly want to buy another one just in case somewhere down the road something ever happens to this one because I am obsessed with it. I use it every day for work is very easy to clean as well. It’s almost like a neoprene type of fabric so it wipes off very easily. I highly recommend this product.
