Historic Pandemics and Plagues
The COVID-19 pandemic is not the first and, according to experts, will not be
the last such disease to spread illness and death and upend life around the
globe. Humanity has endured pandemics and plagues all through history. While
each of these events presented unique challenges for the time in which they
occurred, the difficulties, the pain and suffering, and even some of the triumphs
will resonate today.

Homeless: Youth Living on the Streets ©22
by Gail Snyder
One in thirty young people aged 13 to 17 and one in ten 17 to 25-year-
olds experience homelessness in any year. Whether they double-up with
family or friends, couch surf, live on the streets, or live in motels or shelters,
homeless youths are often hidden from public view and the impact of their
housing instability may be felt for generations. Homeless: Youth Living on the
Streets explores what it is like to be young and homeless, what causes youth
homelessness, and what can be done about it. 978-1-6782-0170-8 • LIST: $47.95/DISC: $38.36
