In The Formula for Better Health, Tom Frieden—named "the most influential leader in American public health since C. Everett Koop" by former Mayor Michael Bloomberg—reveals how to defeat the world's deadliest diseases.

The 2014 Ebola epidemic demonstrated the power of pandemics and their ability not only to destroy lives locally but also to capture the imagination and terrify the world. In 2019 and the years that followed, the coronavirus pandemic infected every continent and took the lives of millions. In this updated edition, Christian W. McMillen provides a concise yet comprehensive account of pandemics throughout human history, illustrating how pandemic disease has shaped history and, at the same time, social behavior has influenced pandemic disease.

First, we were told we all needed to have HRT to remain interesting for our husbands. Then, we were told it was going to give us cancer and put us in an early grave. Next, we were told HRT was safe and we had to take it, or we'd all end up with crippling brain fog, quitting our jobs and descending into dementia as the economy collapsed around us. On the other side of the fence are those who argue that menopause is natural, it doesn't need treating, and a cold-water swim could fix everything. Why has this happened? What does the evidence say?

From the oceans to the womb, plastic has invaded every corner of our world. We wear it, eat it, breathe it—and now, we even bleed it.

So we drank the Diet Coke. Bought the zero sugar snacks. Trusted the label. What if the label was the problem? The Sweet Lie pulls back the curtain on the illusion of "healthy" sweetness — tracing the rise of artificial sweeteners, the cultural brainwashing of diet products, and the subtle, billion-dollar system built to keep us coming back for more. This isn’t just about what’s in your drink. It’s about how that drink became normal.

“Not all enemies wear faces. Not all heroes seek fame.” It came without a warning. No horns. No fire. No crashing skies. Just breath… carrying more than air. An invisible presence moved through us—quietly, quickly, and without favour. It didn’t ask for passports. It didn’t care about class. It didn’t knock before entering. And suddenly… everything we thought we knew about safety, community, and survival unravelled. We panicked. We scrambled. We blamed. But slowly… Quietly… We remembered. That cleanliness is not just a habit. It is a shield.

Across American history, the question of whose lives are long and healthy and whose lives are short and sick has always been shaped by the social and economic order. From the dispossession of Indigenous people and the horrors of slavery to infectious diseases spreading in overcrowded tenements and the vast environmental contamination caused by industrialization, and through climate change and pandemics in the twenty-first century, those in power have left others behind.

With rates skyrocketing and standard interventions falling short, this eye-opening book digs deep into the true causes behind the crisis—and provides a compassionate roadmap for real, lasting change.

Have you ever questioned why we remain embroiled in multiple global health crises? Populations worldwide are gaining life-shortening excess weight (even in poorer countries), and water contamination is rampant (even in richer countries). In such dire circumstances, a gratitude journal won’t help. The stark reality is that we’ve been sold a monumental lie. The obsession with individual health optimization has distracted us from the real game-changer: holding governments accountable for policies that can significantly extend our lifespans.

If someone were to ask you what the leading cause of death is among American children today, what would you say? Cancer? Car accidents? Obesity? The answer is firearms. Guns kill more children in our country than anything else. It’s a shocking statistic, no matter your politics. So how do we solve it? Where can we find common ground on one of the most divisive issues in America? The solution, according to Dr. Gorelick, lies in public health.

Diagnosed eighteen months later with tuberculosis (TB), Oya's case sparked one of the largest prison TB outbreaks in decades, affecting over 3,000 contacts. This outbreak, and others like it, exposes the glaring weaknesses in prison healthcare systems. In Outbreak Behind Bars, Homer Venters reveals the grim realities of how communicable diseases thrive in the overcrowded, unsanitary conditions of correctional facilities.
