This two-volume encyclopedia provides a thorough introduction to the wide-ranging, fast-developing field of social networking, a much-needed resource at a time when new social networks or "communities" seem to spring up on the internet every day. Social networks, or groupings of individuals tied by one or more specific types of interests or interdependencies ranging from likes and dislikes, or disease transmission to the "old boy" network or overlapping circles of friends, have been in existence for longer than services such as Facebook or YouTube; analysis of these networks emphasizes the relationships within the network . This reference resource offers comprehensive coverage of the theory and research within the social sciences that has sprung from the analysis of such groupings, with accompanying definitions, measures, and research. Featuring approximately 350 signed entries, along with approximately 40 media clips, organized alphabetically and offering cross-references and suggestions for further readings, this encyclopedia opens with a thematic Reader′s Guide in the front that groups related entries by topics. A Chronology offers the reader historical perspective on the study of social networks. This two-volume reference work is a must-have resource for libraries serving researchers interested in the various fields related to social networks.

How viruses emerge to cause pandemics, how our immune system combats them, and how diagnostic tests, vaccines, and antiviral therapies work. Throughout history, humans have contended with pandemics. History is replete with references to plagues, pestilence, and contagion, but the devastation wrought by pandemics had been largely forgotten by the twenty-first century. Now, the enormous human and economic toll of the rapidly spreading COVID-19 disease offers a vivid reminder that infectious disease pandemics are one of the greatest existential threats to humanity. This book provides an accessible explanation of how viruses emerge to cause pandemics, how our immune system combats them, and how diagnostic tests, vaccines, and antiviral therapies work-- concepts that are a foundation for our public health policies.

Examines how ozone therapy disables viruses, fights inflammation and bacteria, and enhances the immune system • Explores the science and history of ozone therapy as well as its success in the treatment of viruses and infections, such as Covid-19 and Lyme disease • Presents articles from leading ozone therapy doctors and researchers, including Robert Rowen, M.D., Howard Robins, D.P.M., and Gerard Sunnen, M.D. • Shares numerous case studies from more than a dozen doctors to show how Covid-19 patients have been treated successfully with ozone therapy Revealing ozone therapy’s enormous potential to bring health to millions, Marc Seifer, Ph.D., explores its science and history as well as its success in the treatment of illnesses such as COVID-19, pneumonia, tuberculosis, Lyme disease, and the flu. He examines research performed by scientists and medical doctors going back more than 200 years that conclusively shows that ozone is a powerful disinfectant with antibacterial and antiviral properties. He shares case studies and clinical evidence from leading ozone therapy doctors and researchers, including Robert Rowen, M.D., Howard Robins, D.P.M., and Gerard Sunnen, M.D. Unmasking the suppression of this revolutionary therapy by the FDA, Seifer shows not only how ozone therapy is effective against current viruses such as COVID-19 and Ebola but also how it can help the immune system learn to protect itself against emerging future viruses.
