This book focuses on how we understand COVID-19—medically,
socially, and rhetorically. Given the expectation that other
flu pandemics will occur, it stresses the importance of examining
how the public response is shaped in the face of global health
emergencies. It considers questions such as how can pandemic
language both limit and expand our understanding of disease as
biomedical, social, and experiential? In what ways can health
communication be improved through the study and application of
rhetoric and the health humanities? COVID Communication fills a gap
in the pandemic literature by promoting interdisciplinary analysis
of communication methods, realized through a health humanities
approach. It centers human experience and culture within
conversations about the biological reality of a pandemic. This
volume will be a welcome contribution to the scientific
investigations and practice of psychology and public health
professionals. Interdisciplinary perspective New insights on how a
pandemic is understood Highlights the relevance to important
usually neglected relevance for psychology and public health
professionals Endorsements of COVID Communication “In an
era of the COVID-19 pandemic crisis, COVID
Communication provides a smart, urgent alternative to our
collective downward spiral, not only offering a fiery critique of
our selfish and self-destructive present but also providing
galvanizing, positive visions of what futures we might hope for.â€
— Shailendra Saxena, King George’s Medical
University, India; editor of Coronavirus Disease 2019
(COVID-19): Epidemiology, Pathogenesis, Diagnosis, and
Therapeutics “COVID Communication shows that the pandemic
affects us not only because it makes us sick or ruins our economy,
but also because of how it is spoken, written, and thought about,
ultimately because of how it is socially constructed. An original
and very necessary look to arm ourselves intellectually against the
pandemic.†— Alberto del Campo Tejedor, Pablo de Olavide
University, Spain; author of La infame fama del
andaluz  “The COVID-19 pandemic represented a global
challenge that needed nations and their people to come together,
find a joint response, and build a narrative that was clear,
consistent, inclusive, and respectful of people. The reality,
however, is that the responses to the pandemic reflected the
ideologies of national leaders, political leaders, media outlets,
and activists, leading to a fragmented and at times polarized
global discourse. This important work examines the different
narratives that circulated within the information environment to
explore how these may have led to differing levels of trust in
politicians, in science, and in one another. Through an analysis of
rhetoric across diverse nations and platforms, the chapters provide
a framework that is crucial for understanding the interplay between
discourse, cognition, and behavior.†— Darren Lilleker,
Bournemouth University, UK; co-editor of Political
Communication and COVID-19: Governance and Rhetoric in Times of
Crisis “This book presents a collection of must-read scholarly
chapters that illustrate a panoramic view of how people from
different countries and cultures communicate about this global
pandemic. Â These chapters paint a rich canvas of thoughts,
emotions, reactions, and actions through communication expressions,
ranging from intuitive rhetoric and probing cartoons to emotional
memes and creative advertising. Â The book is a great resource
for aiding health communication scholars, instructors,
professionals, journalists, and students in enhancing their
COVID-19 research, teaching, practice, reporting, and learning.â€
— Carolyn A. Lin, University of Connecticut, USA; co-editor of
Communication Technology and Social Change: Theory and Implications
“In an era of cultural anxiety caused by the global pandemic and
social unrest, COVID Communication could not be timelier.
Presenting broad cross-cultural and multi-modal perspectives on
media portrayals of the illness that has caused so much suffering
and uncertainty, this insightful book offers a ‘rhetorical
toolkit’ that gives us tools to navigate the maze of modern
communication with a deeper understanding of the power of language
in the time of social media. It is a perfect resource for classes
on media literacy, while it is useful to anyone who wants to become
a more active, independent, and secure consumer of the media in the
age of information abundance.†— Katja Plemenitaš, University
of Maribor, Slovenia; co-author of Josip Hutter and the
Dwelling Culture of Maribor “COVID-19, as a disaster and
series of converging crises, has forever shaped
society. COVID Communication offers an easy-to-read,
unparalleled academic-practitioner focus to help understand the
cultural, social, economic, political, community health, and
personal risk assessment aspects of communication during and after
the COVID-19 pandemic. Together, in a ground- breaking analysis
that enhances the rich intellectual tradition of the field of
communications, each chapter in COVID
Communication offers readers the opportunity to view multiple
media sources and approaches that engender a deeper understanding
of health information and communication during and after COVID-19
and its ensuing crises.â€Â — DeMond S. Miller, Rowan
University, USA; co-editor of Community Disaster Recovery and
Resiliency: Exploring Global Opportunities and Challenges “With
its twenty-one chapters exploring a wide spectrum of issues ranging
from individual and social responses to the global coronavirus
breakout to the divergent narrative patterns identified from
various countries, COVID Communication is indeed a
timely and significant guide to understanding the recent pandemic.
The collection makes the reader realize and acknowledge the
multitude of complex, intersecting factors and processes that are
relevant to comprehend the coronavirus pandemic and to cope with
its various representations.â€Â — Åžemsettin Tabur, Ankara

The drums they roll, upon my soul, for that's the way we go,"" runs
the chorus in a Harrigan and Hart song from 1874. ""Forty miles a
day on beans and hay in the Regular Army O!"" The last three words
of that lyric aptly title Douglas C. McChristian's remarkable work
capturing the lot of soldiers posted to the West after the Civil
War. At once panoramic and intimate, Regular Army O! uses the
testimony of enlisted soldiers - drawn from more than 350 diaries,
letters, and memoirs - to create a vivid picture of life in an
evolving army on the western frontier. After the volunteer troops
that had garrisoned western forts and camps during the Civil War
were withdrawn in 1865, the regular army replaced them. In actions
involving American Indians between 1866 and 1891, 875 of these
soldiers were killed, mainly in minor skirmishes, while many more
died of disease, accident, or effects of the natural environment.
What induced these men to enlist for five years and to embrace the
grim prospect of combat is one of the enduring questions this book
explores. Going well beyond Don Rickey Jr.'s classic work Forty
Miles a Day on Beans and Hay (1963), McChristian plumbs the
regulars' accounts for frank descriptions of their training to be
soldiers; their daily routines, including what they ate, how they
kept clean, and what they did for amusement; the reasons a
disproportionate number occasionally deserted, while black soldiers
did so only rarely; how the men prepared for field service; and how
the majority who survived mustered out. In this richly drawn,
uniquely authentic view, men black and white, veteran and
tenderfoot, fill in the details of the frontier soldier's
experience, giving voice to history in the making.

A story of four unhappy young wives that were virtually held as
rich American slaves by their much older rich and powerful
husbands. Independently, these unhappy wives were approached and
sold an answer to their unfortunate dilemma - a African hunting
safari that would pit their husbands against a foe that each could
not handle. In each case, the result would be an undetectable
murder. Four perfect crimes until a bimbo girlfriend of one of the
deceased figured it all out and devised a plan that made the four
young widows her accomplices to extract her revenge. Who were the
real winners? Before his untimely death, Peter Hathaway Capstick
was the greatest writer of African safari life with numerous best
sellers. Peter was glad to assist the author as a contributing
editor in finalizing the Murders on Safari manuscript. The story
depicts promises of hope for desperate young wives trapped in rich
surroundings that choke their real live desires. But consequences
raise their ugly heads. Feel the backstage life of real hunting
safaris with their glamour and their danger, and experience first
hand the incredible charge of wounded lions, elephant, and Cape
buffalo. Could planned safari murders like these really have
happened? - You bet
