The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is
responsible for preventing the introduction, transmission, and
spread of communicable diseases into the United States. It does
this primarily through the Division of Global Migration and
Quarantine (DGMQ), which oversees the federal quarantine station
network. Over the past two decades, the frequency and volume of
microbial threats worldwide have continued to intensify. The
COVID-19 pandemic, in particular, has prompted a reevaluation of
many of our current disease control mechanisms, including the use
and role of quarantine as a public health tool. The emergence of
COVID-19 prompted CDC to request that the National Academies of
Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convene a committee to assess
the role of DGMQ and the federal quarantine station network in
mitigating the risk of onward communicable disease transmission in
light of changes in the global environment, including large
increases in international travel, threats posed by emerging
infections, and the movement of animals and cargo. The committee
was also tasked with identifying how lessons learned during
COVID-19 and other public health emergencies can be leveraged to
strengthen pandemic response. The report's findings and
recommendations span five domains: organizational capacity, disease
control and response efforts, new technologies and data systems,
coordination and collaboration, and legal and regulatory authority.

Between 2014 and 2016, Quarantine produced the first iteration of
Summer. Autumn. Winter. Spring., an epic quartet comprising three
live performances and one film. The full quartet premiered at the
Old Granada Television Studios in Manchester in March/April 2016.
This illustrated volume is both a case study of the work, and an
investigation into the various themes surrounding it. At the heart
of the work is the human life cycle and our relationship with time:
the processes of living and dying, the experience of looking
backwards and forwards, of being in the present, and of reflection
on the stags of life. This volume collects together a range of
artists, producers and thinkers who have significant things to say
about these important themes. -- .
The Natural Bounty of China is an important book series of 60
titles that comprehensively documents the vast diversity of China's
natural resources. China recognizes more than 1,600 products unique
to the country - known as geographical indication products. This
series describes these products in detail, with each single volume
focusing on a particular region of China and the unique products
cultivated there, such as Changbaishan ginseng in northeast China
to the bean paste of Pixian (the "soul of Sichuan cuisine") in the
southwest. From the Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang to
history-steeped Shandong and gorgeously scenic Yunnan, almost every
place in the country has produced something that is readily
identifiable with it. This series not only makes a major
contribution to our understanding of the geography and agriculture
of China, but also gives us a greater appreciation of Chinese
culture as a whole. This volume looks at the abundant resources and
products from the birthplace of Chinese civilization, Inner
Mongolia.

Joseph Sabin's famed bibliography, Bibliotheca Americana, Sabin
Americana, 1500--1926 contains a collection of books, pamphlets,

To mitigate the risks posed by microbial threats of public health
significance originating abroad, the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) places small groups of staff at major U.S.
airports. These staff, their offices, and their patient isolation
rooms constitute quarantine stations, which are run by CDC's
Division of Global Migration and Quarantine (DGMQ). Congress began
to allocate funds in fiscal 2003 for the establishment of new
quarantine stations at 17 major U.S. ports of entry that comprise
airports, seaports, and land-border crossings. In a significant
departure from the recent past, both the preexisting 8 quarantine
stations and the new 17 are expected to play an active,
anticipatory role in nationwide biosurveillance. Consequently, DGMQ
asked the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to convene an expert
committee to assess the present CDC quarantine stations and
recommend how they should evolve to meet the challenges posed by
microbial threats at the nation's gateways. DGMQ specifically
requested "an assessment of the role of the federal quarantine
stations, given the changes in the global environment including
large increases in international travel, threats posed by
bioterrorism and emerging infections, and the movement of animals
and cargo." To conduct this assessment and provide recommendations,
IOM convened, in October 2004, the Committee on Measures to Enhance
the Effectiveness of the CDC Quarantine Station Expansion Plan for
U.S. Ports of Entry. At the sponsor's request, the committee
released the interim letter report Human Resources at U.S. Ports of
Entry to Protect the Public's Health in January 2005 to provide
preliminary suggestions for the priority functions of a modern
quarantine station, the competences necessary to carry out those
functions, and the types of health professionals who have the
requisite competences (Appendix A). This, the committee's final
report, assesses the present role of the CDC quarantine stations
and articulates a vision of their future role as a public health
intervention. Table of Contents Front Matter Executive Summary 1
