Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - About the BookThe 2014 Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak in West Africa remains in the news. However, despite how prolific this disease is, the main reservoir for Ebola is unknown. The virus for now has no cure, or vaccine. This book illuminates this mysterious disease by explaining the experiences of Ebola virus survivors and their caregivers during the 2014 Ebola outbreak in West Africa. It also highlights experiences of government, nongovernmental organizations, media reporters, and academicians who were on the frontline during the outbreak. The book specifically explained how Monrovians coped with the threat of Ebola and the scientific approach used to minimize and to stop the spread of the EVD. It is interesting to note that Ebola is one of the world's worst recorded pandemics. As the world currently wrestles with the COVID-19 pandemic, it is crucial to note the importance of public health education. This is a must-read book; it helps to prepare health workers and the general public in the event of an outbreak. This book could start a revolution. A revolution that could spark the need for more public awareness and research into the understanding of the transmission of EVD and the possible discovery of a vaccine to prevent a human infection. It is my hope that this book will help educate and guide the reader about EVD infection and prevention.About the AuthorDr. Augustine Manneh Sumo is an expert in Public Policy and Law.

Condition: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | This book narrates the true life story of a Liberian boy. "I learned that pain could convince you of the most incredible lies, but I wanted to live beyond my physical pain. My life, although not the one I chose, does not have to be all negative. I, too, have a positive story to tell." "But how do I rebuild my life when my disease had no guidebook or end? Being stuck in a rut of self-pity can be a slippery slope, horrible, and sometimes a cynical feeling. But how could I rebuild my life when my disease had no guidebook or end?" There is no other way to true power and abiding peace but by self-control, self-governance, and self-purification. To be at the mercy of your disposition is to be impotent, unhappy, and of little actual use in the world. This book narrates the true life story of a Liberian boy who overcame poverty, pain, and suicide, through faith, hard work, honesty, and perseverance to restore his place of dignity in society. This book could change your life.…
