'Moving and rich...overflowing with warmth and humanity' The Times\n\n In this pioneering work of life-writing and reportage, Anthony DePalma reconstructs the interwoven stories of five ordinary citizens and their families to bring the true story of the Cuban people to the world.\n\n From Castro's heyday, through the devastation of post-Soviet collapse, to the false dawn of recent years, we witness the hardships of life across six decades of socialist state control - where even today the government decides what work you can do and where you live; where food is rationed, and basic medicines are unavailable. \n\nThe Cubans maps a country where the revolution that once inspired its people has since tested their faith with tragedy and disillusionment, revealing the daily acts of heroism and the endlessly adaptive resilience that are required of them to survive.\n\n'Page-turning...revealing and unputdownable' Claire Boobbyer, Cuba travel expert \n\n'A deeply reported...account of Cuba's bittersweet realities' Financial Times

A virus is not human, but the reaction to it is a measure of humanity. \n\nAmerica has not measured up well. Tens of thousands are dead for no reason. America is supposed to be about freedom, yet illness and fear make its citizens less free. After all, freedom is meaningless if we are too ill to think about our right to happiness or too weak to pursue it. So, if a government is making its people unhealthy it is also making them unfree.\n\nOn December 29, 2019, Timothy Snyder fell gravely ill. As he clung to life he found himself reflecting on the fragility of health, not recognized in America as a human right, but without which all rights and freedoms have no meaning. And that was before the pandemic. We have since watched understaffed and undersupplied hospitals buckling under waves of coronavirus patients. The federal government made matters worse through wilful ignorance, misinformation, and profiteering. \n\nThis passionate intervention outlines the lessons we must all learn, wherever we are, and finds glimmers of hope in dark times. Only by enshrining healthcare as a human right, elevating the authority of doctors and truth, and planning for our children's future, can everyone be properly free.\n\nFreedom belongs to individuals. But to be free we need our health, and for our health we need one another.

New perspectives on how envirotech can help us engage with the surrounding world in ways that are more sustainable for humanity-and the planet.\n\nToday's scientists, policymakers, and citizens are all confronted by numerous dilemmas at the nexus of technology and the environment. Every day seems to bring new worries about the dangers posed by carcinogens, \"superbugs,\" energy crises, invasive species, genetically modified organisms, groundwater contamination, failing infrastructure, and other troubling issues. \n\nIn Technology and the Environment in History, Sara B. Pritchard and Carl A. Zimring adopt an analytical approach to explore current research at the intersection of environmental history and the history of technology-an emerging field known as envirotech. Technology and the Environment in History They discuss the important topics, historical processes, and scholarly concerns that have emerged from recent work in thinking about envirotech. Each chapter focuses on a different urgent topic: \n\n* Food and Food Systems: How humans have manipulated organisms and ecosystems to produce nutrients for societies throughout history.\n* Industrialization: How environmental processes have constrained industrialization and required shifts in the relationships between human and nonhuman nature.\n* Discards: What we can learn from the multifaceted forms, complex histories, and unexpected possibilities of waste.\n* Disasters: How disaster, which the authors argue is common in the industrialized world, exposes the fallacy of tidy divisions among nature, technology, and society.\n* Body: How bodies reveal the porous boundaries among technology, the environment, and the human.\n* Sensescapes: How environmental and technological change have reshaped humans' (and potentially nonhumans') sensory experiences over time.\n\nUsing five concepts to understand the historical relationships between technology and the environment-porosity, systems, hybridity, biopolitics, and environmental justice-Pritchard and Zimring propose a chronology of key processes, moments, and periodization in the history of technology and the environment. Ultimately, they assert, envirotechnical perspectives help us engage with the surrounding world in ways that are, we hope, more sustainable and just for both humanity and the planet. Aimed at students and scholars new to environmental history, the history of technology, and their nexus, this impressive synthesis looks outward and forward-identifying promising areas in more formative stages of intellectual development and current synergies with related areas that have emerged in the past few years, including environmental anthropology, discard studies, and posthumanism.
