Intensive Care
13 January, 2020.A bulletin from Health Protection Scotland is sent to all GP practices, describing a 'novel Wuhan coronavirus'. It was the first time I'd heard of the virus. 'Current reports describe no evidence of significant human to human transmission, including no infections of healthcare workers,' it says, reassuringly.As COVID-19 has ripped across the globe, crossing borders and crashing markets, it has already cost tens of thousands their lives. But as we wait to discover the full effects of the pandemic, one thing is already clear: on the frontlines of the crisis are our healthcare workers.In Notes on a Crisis , doctor Gavin Francis will take you beyond the headlines to the bedsides of those suffering most, from his GP surgery in Edinburgh to the homeless charity where he volunteers. And inside this compelling narrative of missed opportunities, tragedies and occasional triumphs, he weaves the wider history of medical practice, pandemics and vaccines.Full of compassion, this deeply personal account of a doctor's experiences during the darkest of times is also an intelligent study of what pandemics can do to us - and what we can do about them.
Emperor of Rome
A sweeping account of the social and political world of the Roman emperors by “the world’s most famous classicist” ( Guardian ). In her international bestseller SPQR , Mary Beard told the thousand-year story of ancient Rome. Now she shines her spotlight on the emperors who ruled the Roman empire, from Julius Caesar (assassinated 44 BCE) to Alexander Severus (assassinated 235 CE).Emperor of Rome is not your usual chronological account of Roman rulers, such as the mad Caligula, the monster Nero, the philosopher Marcus Aurelius. Beard asks bigger questions: What power did emperors actually have? Was the Roman palace really so bloodstained? She tracks down the emperor at home, at the races, on his travels, even on his way to heaven. She introduces his wives and lovers, rivals and slaves, court jesters and soldiers―and the ordinary people who pressed begging letters into his hands.Emperor of Rome goes directly to the heart of Roman (and our own) fantasies about what it was to be Roman, offering an account of Roman history as it has never been presented before. 160 images: 16-page color insert
Breaking & Mending
One of the most beautiful books you will ever read' Kate MosseIn this powerful memoir, Joanna Cannon tells her story as a junior doctor in visceral, heart-rending snapshots.We walk with her through the wards, facing extraordinary and daunting moments: from attending her first post-mortem, sitting with a patient through their final moments, to learning the power of a well- or badly chosen word. These moments, and the small sustaining acts of kindness and connection that punctuate hospital life, teach her that emotional care and mental health can be just as critical as restoring a heartbeat.In a profession where weakness remains a taboo, this moving, beautifully written book brings to life the vivid, human stories of doctors and patients - and shows us why we need to take better care of those who care for us.
Being Mortal
For most of human history, death was a common, ever-present possibility. It didn't matter whether you were five or fifty - every day was a roll of the dice. But now, as medical advances push the boundaries of survival further each year, we have become increasingly detached from the reality of being mortal. So here is a book about the modern experience of mortality - about what it's like to get old and die, how medicine has changed this and how it hasn't, where our ideas about death have gone wrong. With his trademark mix of perceptiveness and sensitivity, Atul Gawande outlines a story that crosses the globe, as he examines his experiences as a surgeon and those of his patients and family, and learns to accept the limits of what he can do. Never before has aging been such an important topic. The systems that we have put in place to manage our mortality are manifestly failing: but, as Gawande reveals, it doesn't have to be this way. The ultimate goal, after all, is not a good death, but
Une brève histoire de l’égalité
Une brève histoire de l’égalité« Les questions économiques sont trop importantes pour être laissées à une petite classe de spécialistes et de dirigeants. La réappropriation citoyenne de ce savoir est une étape essentielle pour transformer les relations de pouvoir. »T. P.En présentant l’évolution en longue durée des inégalités entre classes sociales dans les sociétés humaines, Thomas Piketty propose une perspective nouvelle sur l’histoire de l’égalité. Il s’appuie sur une conviction forte forgée au fil de ses recherches : la marche vers l’égalité est un combat qui vient de loin, et qui ne demande qu’à se poursuivre au XXIe siècle, pour peu que l’on s’y mette toutes et tous.Thomas PikettyDirecteur d’études à l’École des hautes études en sciences sociales et Professeur à l’École d’économie de Paris, il est notamment l’auteur, chez Points, du Capital auXXIe siècle et de Capital et idéologie.
Introduction La Pensee Complexe
Nous demandons à la pensée qu elle dissipe les brouillards et les obscurités, qu elle mette de l ordre et de la clarté dans le réel, qu elle révèle les lois qui le gouvernent. Le mot de complexité, lui, ne peut qu exprimer notre embarras, notre confusion, notre incapacité à définir de façon simple, à nommer de façon claire, à ordonner nos idées. Sa définition première ne peut fournir aucune élucidation : est complexe ce qui ne peut se résumer en un maître mot, ce qui ne peut se ramener à une loi ni se réduire à une idée simple. La complexité est un mot problème et non un mot solution.Edgar Morin propose ici un nouveau mode de pensée pour affronter la complexité du monde qui nous entoure.
