In this charming sequel to the classic "Cloudy With a Chance of
Meatballs, " Kate and Henry eagerly await Grandpa's return from a
vacation that his postcard says has been one of the best and most
unusual ever. Thinking about that postcard Kate drifts off to sleep
that night and...
"With Henry as my co-pilot..." she visits the strange land of
Chewandswallow -- a land characterized by massive amounts of food,
immense carrots, leafy jungles of lettuce, and tuna fish sandwiches
so gigantic they have to be moved by helicopter. What the people of
Chewandswallow are doing with all that food is most intriguing of
all. Fans of "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs" will applaud this
return trip with its underlying message of generosity and a world
community.
Serving as both an accessible textbook and an original synthesis of
interdisciplinary scholarship, Emerging Infections traces the
social and environmental determinants of human infectious diseases
from the Paleolithic to the present day. Contrary to earlier
predictions of a post-infectious era, humanity now faces a
post-antimicrobial era with the emergence of drug-resistant
pathogens and the entry of new and deadly viruses such as Ebola and
COVID-19 in the human population. Yet despite the novelty of these
infections, their evolution is primarily driven by the same human
activities of subsistence, settlement, and social organization that
have been recurring over the last ten thousand years. Approaching
these activities from a biocultural perspective, this book examines
the prehistory and history of human infectious diseases. Much has
happened in the decade since the first edition, with significant
developments in both disease research and in the evolution of the
diseases themselves. As such, this new edition has been expanded to
include recent epidemics of Ebola, Zika, MERS, and of course,
COVID-19. Indeed, the book's biocultural approach is especially
relevant to the COVID-19 pandemic, examining it from a deep time
perspective and placing it within a much-needed explanatory
framework. Emerging Infections is suitable for advanced
undergraduates, graduates, and researchers in anthropology, the
medical social sciences, public health, and the history of
medicine. The book will also appeal to a more general readership
with an interest in public health and infectious diseases.
Animals should definitely not wear clothing. ...because a snake would lose it, a billy goat would eat it for lunch, and it would always be wet on a walrus! This well-loved book by Judi and Ron Barrett shows the very youngest why animals' clothing is perfect...just as it is.
The tiny town of Chewandswallow was very much like any other tiny
town except for its weather, which came three times a day--at
breakfast, lunch, and dinner Life for the townspeople was delicious
until the miraculous food weather took a turn for the worse. The
food got larger and larger, and so did the portions. The flood of
huge food caused chaos, and the people feared for their lives.
Something had to be done . . . before it was too late
