It Is a Miracle We Are Not Visited by a Black Plague -- Appendix -- Notes -- Index -- About the Author A century ago, the third bubonic plague swept the globe, taking more than 15 million lives. Plague Ports tells the story of ten cities on five continents that were ravaged by the epidemic in its initial years: Hong Kong and Bombay, the Asian emporiums of the British Empire where the epidemic first surfaced; Sydney, Honolulu and San Francisco, three “pearls” of the Pacific; Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro in South America; Alexandria and Cape Town in Africa; and Oporto in Europe.Myron Echenberg examines plague's impact in each of these cities, on the politicians, the medical and public health authorities, and especially on the citizenry, many of whom were recent migrants crammed into grim living spaces. He looks at how different cultures sought to cope with the challenge of deadly epidemic disease, and explains the political, racial, and medical ineptitudes and ignorance that allowed the plague to flourish. The forces of globalization and industrialization, Echenberg argues, had so increased the transmission of microorganisms that infectious disease pandemics were likely, if not inevitable.This fascinating, expansive history, enlivened by harrowing photographs and maps of each city, sheds light on urbanism and modernity at the turn of the century, as well as on glaring public health inequalities. With the recent outbreaks of SARS and avian flu, and ongoing fears of bioterrorism, Plague Ports offers a necessary and timely historical lesson.PlagueHistoryPlague.Ports.ago.bubonic.century.cities.continents.epidemic.five.globe.initial.lives.million.more.ravaged.story.swept.taking.tells.than.that.third.were.years.PlagueHistory.614.5/732Echenberg Myron J1048031MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782712203321Plague ports3703312UNINA03502nam 22006975 450 991033788430332120250609110117.03-319-93614-X10.1007/978-3-319-93614-7(CKB)4100000007335211(DE-He213)978-3-319-93614-7(MiAaPQ)EBC5627137(Au-PeEL)EBL5627137(CaPaEBR)ebr11642662(OCoLC)1081001400(PPN)232965188(MiAaPQ)EBC5918145(EXLCZ)99410000000733521120181230d2019 u| 0engurnn|008mamaatxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierThe Earth's Dissipative Structures Fundamental Wave Properties of Substance /by Oleg V.

Springer Geophysics,2364-91193-319-93613-1 Concept of wave nature of dissipative processes of fractal structuring and of the Earth forming -- Fractal hierarchies of the Earth’s dissipative structures – a new paradigm of theoretical and practical geology -- Conclusion.This volume describes physical, formal mathematical and exterior (morpho-structural) manifestations of wave dynamics of the Earth, defining both its deep structural image, and the external shape of planet. In addition to the standard imagination about waves in the geological environment as short-term seismological and seismic effects, wave dynamics of the Earth are considered as long-time process, comparable to the geochronological scale. The book consists of a systematic description of the conformities discovered in the set of heterogeneous and different-order objects, which have space-related regularity and recurrence at the different levels of resolution of analysis of natural systems. For expert-geologist it includes the basis of the geodynamic wave-related concept which enables to add to the traditional concept of plate tectonics, as well as the methods of quantitative interpretation of measured geo-fields.Springer Geophysics,2364-9119GeophysicsGeology, StructuralThermodynamicsHeat engineeringHeatTransmissionMass transferGeophysics/Geodesyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G18009Structural Geologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G17040Engineering Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass Transferhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T14000Geophysics.Geology, Structural.Thermodynamics.Heat engineering.HeatTransmission.Mass transfer.Geophysics/Geodesy.Structural Geology.Engineering Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass Transfer.550526.1Petrov Oleg Vauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut994735MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910337884303321The Earth's Dissipative Structures2278480UNINA
