Understanding the COVID-19 Pandemic
In the blink of an eye, the world as we know it has changed. Friends and
loved ones have died lonely, painful deaths. Once-robust economies have
disintegrated, costing millions their jobs. Schools, forced to close their doors,
have resorted to distance learning. Social interaction has been replaced with
social distancing. The new series Understanding the COVID-19 Pandemic
examines the origins of the virus that causes the disease; how different
countries responded; how the virus spreads, sickens, and kills; the
challenges of the new normal; the race to develop vaccines; and the LIST: $47.95/DISC: $38.36 • DEWEY: 614.5

Vaccine Wars:
When Science and Politics Collide ©22
by John Allen
Vaccines have been one of the most important public health breakthroughs of
the last century. Yet despite their ability to save lives, vaccines have become
the objects of fear-mongering and fake science. From the groundbreaking
polio vaccine to the COVID-19 vaccines produced in record time, Vaccine
Wars: When Science and Politics Collide examines why these remarkably
successful drugs remain so controversial. 978-1-6782-0180-7 • LIST: $47.95/DISC: $38.36
