Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Tuberculosis has been entwined with humanity for millennia. Once
romanticized as a malady of poets, today tuberculosis is seen as a
disease of poverty that walks the trails of injustice and inequity we
blazed for it.
In 2019, author John Green met Henry Reider, a young tuberculosis
patient at Lakka Government Hospital in Sierra Leone. John became fast
friends with Henry, a boy with spindly legs and a big, goofy smile. In
the years since that first visit to Lakka, Green has become a vocal
advocate for increased access to treatment and wider awareness of the
healthcare inequities that allow this curable, preventable infectious
disease to also be the deadliest, killing over a million people every
year.
In Everything Is Tuberculosis, John tells Henry’s story, woven through
with the scientific and social histories of how tuberculosis has shaped
our world―and how our choices will shape the future of tuberculosis.

This anthology on Eve brings together an international group of
scholars to discuss how this character has been interpreted by
Judaism, Christianity and Islam. In a time when the history of
women is being reassessed, it is natural that women look to the
paradigmatic female figure. This treatment of Eve covers her wide
range of roles as mother of our race, victim, stooge, wife,
companion, independent thinker, and "helper". A venerated figure by
many modern feminists and a denigrated figure by those who blame
her for original sin, no reader will leave these pages indifferent
to the first woman.

Anthropocene Reviewed, returns with a story of shattering,
unflinching clarity in this brilliant novel of love, resilience,
and the power of lifelong friendship. Aza Holmes never intended to
pursue the disappearance of fugitive billionaire Russell Pickett,
but there's a hundred-thousand-dollar reward at stake and her Best
and Most Fearless Friend, Daisy, is eager to investigate. So
together, they navigate the short distance and broad divides that
separate them from Pickett's son Davis. Aza is trying. She is
trying to be a good daughter, a good friend, a good student, and
maybe even a good detective, while also living within the
ever-tightening spiral of her own thoughts.
'Our hearts were broken in the same places. That's something like love, but maybe not quite the thing itself'
Aza's life is filled with complications.
Living with anxiety and OCD is enough but when Daisy, her Best and Most Fearless Friend, brings her on a mission to find a fugitive billionaire things are about to get even more complicated.
To find Russell Pickett, Aza must enter the world of his geeky, but maybe kind-of-cute son, Davis.
But the chances of a first kiss, and maybe even a first love, could send Aza into a spiral of anxiety...
A perfect coming-of-age novel filled with love, mystery and Star Wars fan-fiction.
