#1 New York Times bestseller “Barry will teach you almost everything you need to know about one of the deadliest outbreaks in human history.”—Bill Gates "Monumental... an authoritative and disturbing morality tale."—Chicago Tribune The strongest weapon against pandemic is the truth. Read why in the definitive account of the 1918 Flu Epidemic. Magisterial in its breadth of perspective and depth of research, The Great Influenza provides us with a precise and sobering model as we confront the epidemics looming on our own horizon. As Barry concludes, "The final lesson of 1918, a simple one yet one most difficult to execute, is that...those in authority must retain the public's trust. The way to do that is to distort nothing, to put the best face on nothing, to try to manipulate no one. Lincoln said that first, and best. A leader must make whatever horror exists concrete. Only then will people be able to break it apart." At the height of World War I, history’s most lethal influenza virus erupted in an army camp in Kansas, moved east with American troops, then exploded, killing as many as 100 million people worldwide. It killed more people in twenty-four months than AIDS killed in twenty-four years, more in a year than the Black Death killed in a century. But this was not the Middle Ages, and 1918 marked the first collision of science and epidemic disease.

A Tradição da Liberdade - Tomo II é um contributo importante para compreender a diversidade que compõe o liberalismo, colocando o leitor em contacto com obras de referência de quatro autores europeus: os franceses Étienne de La Boétie (Discurso sobre a Servidão Voluntária) e Benjamin Constant (Da Liberdade dos Antigos Comparada à dos Modernos), o alemão Wilhelm von Humboldt (Os Limites da Acção do Estado) e o escocês Adam Smith (Riqueza das Nações). À excepção de La Boétie, que viveu no século XVI, todos viveram e escreveram em finais do século XVIII, inícios do século XIX – a fervilhante era da Declaração da Independência dos Estados Unidos da América (1776), da Revolução Francesa (1789) e do Iluminismo –, marcando de forma clara o pensamento da sua época e das seguintes. Um livro que, além de resumir quatro grandes obras do passado, mostra os muitos ensinamentos que elas têm para quem vive na Europa actual e acredita que o futuro passa por construir uma União Europeia ao serviço da liberdade, contra os retrocessos proteccionistas e as pulsões nacionalistas.

In New York in the middle of the twentieth century, comic book companies figured out how to make millions from comics without paying their creators anything. In San Francisco at the start of the twenty-first century, tech companies figured out how to make millions from online abuse without paying its creators anything. In the 1990s, Adeline drew a successful comic book series that ended up making her kind-of famous. In 2013, Adeline aired some unfashionable opinions that made their way onto the Internet. The reaction of the Internet, being a tool for making millions in advertising revenue from online abuse, was predictable. The reaction of the Internet, being part of a culture that hates women, was to send Adeline messages like 'Drp slut ... hope u get gang rape.' Set in a San Francisco hollowed out by tech money, greed and rampant gentrification, I Hate the Internet is a savage indictment of the intolerable bullshit of unregulated capitalism and an uproarious, hilarious but above all furious satire of our Internet Age.
