Everything Is  Tuberculosis [Hardcover]

The Anthropocene  Reviewed [Paperback]

 

Everything Is  Tuberculosis [Hardcover]:
Tuberculosis has been  entwined with hu­manity for millennia. Once romanticized as a malady of  poets, today tuberculosis is seen as a disease of poverty that walks the  trails of injustice and inequity we blazed for it. In 2019, author John Green  met Henry Reider, a young tuberculosis patient at Lakka Government Hospital  in Sierra Leone. John be­came fast friends with Henry, a boy with spindly  legs and a big, goofy smile. In the years since that first visit to Lakka,  Green has become a vocal advocate for increased access to treatment and wider  awareness of the healthcare inequi­ties that allow this curable, preventable  infec­tious disease to also be the deadliest, killing over a million people  every year.

The Anthropocene 
A deeply moving and mind-expanding  collection of personal essays in the first ever work of non-fiction from #1  internationally bestselling author John Green The Anthropocene is the current  geological age, in which human activity has profoundly shaped the planet and  its biodiversity. In this remarkable symphony of essays adapted and expanded  from his ground-breaking, critically acclaimed podcast, John Green reviews  different facets of the human-centered planet - from the QWERTY keyboard and  Halley's Comet to Penguins of Madagascar - on a five-star scale. Complex and  rich with detail, the Anthropocene's reviews have been praised as  'observations that double as exercises in memoiristic empathy.

Powerful story. It was a great mix of informative and interesting and there was a lot to learn.
