The plague cycle : the unending war between humanity and infectious disease / by Kenny, Charles,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.For four thousand years, the size and vitality of cities, economies, and empires were heavily determined by infection. Striking humanity in waves, the cycle of plagues set the tempo of civilizational growth and decline, since common response to the threat was exclusion-quarantining the sick or keeping them out. But the unprecedented hygiene and medical revolutions of the past two centuries have allowed humanity to free itself from the hold of epidemic cycles-resulting in an urbanized, globalized, and unimaginably wealthy world. However, our development has lately become precarious. Climate and population fluctuations and aspects of our prosperity such as global trade have left us more vulnerable than ever to newly emerging plagues. Greater global cooperation toward sustainable health is urgently required-such as the international efforts to harvest a Covid-19 vaccine-with millions of lives and trillions of dollars at stake. Written as colorful history, The Plague Cycle reveals the relationship between civilization, globalization, prosperity, and infectious disease over the past five millennia. It harnesses history, economics, and public health, and charts humanity's remarkable progress, providing a fascinating and timely look at the cyclical nature of infectious disease.

Rogers v. Rogers : the battle for control of Canada's telecom empire / by Posadzki, Alexandra,author.;
"A riveting and definitive account that takes us inside the spectacular battle for control of Canada's largest wireless carrier, and paints a larger picture of the telecom industry, known for its cut-throat competetiveness and high stakes drama. Alexandra Posadzki's groundbreaking coverage in the Globe and Mail of the long-simmering tensions within Rogers exposed one of the most spectacular boardroom and family dramas in Canadian corporate history--one that has not only pitted the extraordinarily powerful chairman and largest shareholder, Edward Rogers, against current management but also the wishes of his own late mother, and sisters. Hanging in the balance is no less than the recent acquisition of Shaw Communications for $26 billion, Roger's biggest deal in their history that can transform them into the truly national telecom that founder Ted Rogers always envisioned. Based on deeply sourced investigative reporting of the iconic $30 billion publicly traded telecom and media giant, Posadzki takes us inside a company that touches the lives of millions of Canadians, and challenges what we thought we knew about corporate governance and who really holds the power. Rogers vs. Rogers is also a story of family ownership and succession, of the new guard pushing back at the old guard, and how warring factions each interpret the desires of the founding patriarch and the very legacy of the company that bears their name."--
