        Be Kind, Be Calm, Be Safe

        by Bonnie Henry and Lynn Henry

        Dr. Bonnie Henry, “one of the most effective public health figures in the world” (The New York Times), earned accolades in 2020 for her consistent, calm, empathetic, and science-based public health strategy in the face of COVID 19, embodied in the phrase “Be kind, be calm, be safe.” This is the story of the four key weeks in spring during which British Columbia flattened the curve while other places struggled, and of the challenging weeks in summer when the infection returned with a vengeance.   This is not only a medical story; it's a personal story punctuated by moments of gravity and grace. Public health officials are required to make personally agonizing decisions in the face of incomplete information and competing health priorities; we glimpse the private deliberations behind policies that affect millions. This is a universal story about how we make decisions (and who makes them) in times of great upheaval; the nuances of communication, leadership, and public trust; the balance between politics and policy; and what and whom we value, as individuals and a society. It's also about Henry’s deceptively simply slogan, and what it requires from all of us to “be kind, be calm, be safe.”

        Achieving sustainable production of pig meat Volume 1

        Safety, quality and sustainability

        by Prof. Alan Mathew

        Pig meat is the most widely-consumed meat in the world. Previous growth in production has relied, in part, on more intensive systems. In meeting rising demand, these systems face challenges such as the ongoing threat of zoonotic diseases, the need to improve feed efficiency in the face of rising costs, the need to reduce the environmental impact of pig production and increasing concerns about animal welfare.This volume looks first at the main zoonoses affecting pigs and how they can be controlled. It then reviews the latest research on aspects of meat quality such as flavour, colour, texture and nutritional quality. Finally, it assesses ways of monitoring and reducing the environmental impact of pig production.With its distinguished editor and international team of expert authors, this will be a standard reference for researchers in swine science, producers, government and other organisations involved in supporting pig production. It is accompanied by two companion volumes which focus on animal breeding, nutrition, health and welfare.

        AmaZizi: the Dlamini of Southern Africa 2nd Ed

        by Jongisilo Z. Z. Pokwana Ka Menziwa, Ngangomzi Pokwana Ah! Jongumhlaba

        The Dlamini people are a stock race that, during the 19th century, spread throughout the then largely uninhabited Southern Africa. Today they can be found concentrated in Swaziland, in the Eastern Cape, in KwaZulu Natal and in many other parts of the country. The first edition traced a story of these people from before 2000 years ago until today, then focused on a section of the Dlamini known as AmaZizi. The second edition expands this base with new research and information. If you have the surname Dlamini, the history and traditions of your ancestors can be found within these pages.

        Sinking Islands

        by Cai Emmons

        Sinking Islands continues the story of Bronwyn Artair, a scientist who possesses the power to influence the natural forces of the Earth. After several successful interventions, including one in Siberia, she has gone into hiding, worried about unintended consequences of her actions, as well as about the ethics of operating solo. But circumstances call her to action again, and an idea takes shape: What if she could impart her skill to other people? Gathering a few kindred souls from climate-troubled places around the world—Felipe from São Paulo, where drought conditions are creating strains on day-to-day life; Analu and his daughter Penina from a sinking island in the South Pacific; and Patty from the tornado-ridden plains of Kansas—she takes them to the wilds of Northern New Hampshire where she tries to teach them her skill. The novel, realistic but for the single fantastical element, explores how we might become more attuned to the Earth and act more collaboratively to solve the enormity of our climate problem.
