Inhalt: COVID-19 is probably the most significant global crisis of any of our lifetimes. The numbers involved have been stupefying, whether they speak of infection and mortality, the scale of public health measures such as mobility restrictions, or the economic consequences for unemployment and public sector spending. A significant amount of research has already been published on COVID-19, with a focus on its medical and epidemiological dimensions but also social science country reports and monitoring projects that are essentially descriptive. The objective of this book is to identify key threads in the global comparative discussion that continue to shed light on COVID-19 and shape debates about what it means for scholarship in health and comparative politics. The editors bring together over 30 authors versed in politics and the health issues in order to understand the health policy decisions, the public health interventions, the social policy decisions, their interactions, and the reasons. The book's coverage is global, with a wide range of key and exemplary countries, and contains a mixture of comparative, thematic, and templated country studies. All go beyond reporting and monitoring to develop explanations that draw on the authors' expertise while engaging in structured conversations across the book

Originaltitel: A five-minute life

Inhalt: Reichen fünf Minuten, um sich zu verlieben? Thea leidet unter einer dramatischen Form der Amnesie. Sie hat fünf Minuten, bevor ihr Kurzzeitgedächtnis wieder gelöscht wird. Für alle außer Jim Whelan ist sie ein hoffnungsloser Fall. Allein Jim erkennt, dass ihre seltsamen Kunstwerke aus Wortketten ein Hilferuf sind. Trotz aller Widrigkeiten entsteht zwischen ihm und Thea eine tiefe Verbindung. Als sich eine neue riskante Behandlungsmöglichkeit auftut, könnte dies eine Chance für ihre scheinbar unmögliche Liebe sein - oder aber ihr Ende bedeuten ... (Verlag)

Inhalt: "Scott Weidensaul erhebt mit schnörkelloser Eloquenz die Ökologie auf das Level der Philosophie." Los Angeles Times Milliarden Vögel umrunden jedes Jahr die Erdkugel. Der spatzgroße Strandläufer fliegt ohne Halt von Kanada nach Venezuela - das entspricht 126 aufeinanderfolgenden Marathons ohne Nahrung, Wasser oder Schlaf. Dabei ziehen er Feuchtigkeit aus seinen Muskeln und Organen und nutzt das Magnetfeld der Erde mittels einer Form von Quantenverschränkung, die Einstein nervös gemacht hätte. In den letzten zwanzig Jahren ist unser Wissen über Zugvögel sprunghaft gewachsen. In seinem elegant erzählten Meisterwerk zeigt der preisgekrönte Autor und Ornithologe Scott Weidensaul, dass wir mehr über die Lebewesen auf Erden verstehen, wenn wir uns mit dem Naturwunder über unseren Köpfen beschäftigen. Und wie wir trotz Klimawandel unsere fragilen Ökosysteme schützen können. "Der preisgekrönte Autor sprüht vor Freude und Begeisterung, ein meisterhafter Erzähler." The Guardian

Anmerkung: Scott Weidensaul, geboren 1959, ist Ornithologe und Autor. Er hat mehr als dreißig Bücher zu Naturthemen verfasst und arbeitet an mehreren großen internationalen Forschungsprojekte zu Zugvögeln mit. Er lebt mit seiner Frau in Pennsylvania.
