The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged the world's preparedness for a
respiratory virus event. While the world has been combating
COVID-19, seasonal and pandemic influenza remain imminent global
health threats. Non-vaccine public health control measures can
combat emerging and ongoing influenza outbreaks by mitigating viral
spread. Public Health Lessons for Non-Vaccine Influenza
Interventions examines provides conclusions and recommendations
from an expert committee on how to leverage the knowledge gained
from the COVID-19 pandemic to optimize the use of public health
interventions other than vaccines to decrease the toll of future
seasonal and potentially pandemic influenza. It considers the
effectiveness of public health efforts such as use of masks and
indoor spacing, use of treatments such as monoclonal antibodies,
and public health communication campaigns. Table of Contents Front

Two World Wars, the rise of dictatorships and totalitarianism, the
Holocaust, Hiroshima and the Cold War profoundly affected the
notion of identity in the second half of the twentieth century.
This book takes Agota Kristov's trilogy and Thomas Bernhard's
'Correction' as paradigmatic cases to investigate the literary
representations of physical and existential displacement. A closer
look at the biographies of these two authors sheds light on their
different experiences as displaced beings. Their protagonists, lost
in a fictional world in which no spatial or temporal references are
respected, also write to reassert themselves. However, language
reveals its inability to capture any true version of the self. Both
works merge autobiography and fiction to challenge the notion of
truth. This analysis should be especially of use to scholars
seeking to explore the link between these two authors, which so far
has been largely ignored by scholars, or generally to anyone
interested in the theme of exile and its literary representation.
