Covid-19: The First Six Months presents a day-by-day chronicle of the pandemic’s opening phase, capturing the epidemiological, medical, social, and cultural impacts of a rapidly unfolding global crisis. Drawing on a dataset of approximately 3,600 news reports, medical updates, and academic papers-collected in real-time between January and June 2020-this book offers an unparalleled level of detail and precision. Beginning with retrospectively sourced coverage of events prior to January 2020, it traces the earliest signals of the outbreak and follows its progression across continents, documenting how governments, health systems, and communities responded to a threat unlike any in recent history.Each entry preserves the immediacy of the moment, reflecting the uncertainty, urgency, and evolving understanding that shaped decisions in the pandemic’s first half-year. Modeled after the author’s earlier work, A Day-by-Day Chronicle of the 2013-2016 Ebola Outbreak (Bullard, 2018), this volume provides both a comprehensive timeline and a rich, indexed source base for researchers. The references included form an extensive archive of early-pandemic sources, making it a unique and indispensable resource for those studying Covid-19, public health, epidemiology, and the history of disease.Provides a highly detailed, chronological account of the first six months of the Covid-19 pandemicPresents a comprehensive and unparalleled collection of references-including many primary sources-from the early stages of the pandemicDelivers a case study on a massive scale, providing an exceptional, in-depth account of a disease outbreak

This book examines the three most well-known and socially important nuclear accidents. Each of these accidents had significant, yet dramatically different, human and environmental impacts. Unique factors helped shape the overall pattern and scale of each disaster, but a major contributing factor was the different designs used for each reactor. Fukushima was a boiling water reactor (BWR), Chernobyl was a graphite moderated boiling water reactor, and TMI was a pressurized water reactor (PWR). This book traces the history of nuclear power and the development of each reactor type. We examine how GE’s work with a sodium cooled design did not fare well with the US Navy, and led GE to promulgate the BWR design. We explore the Russian atomic bomb program, its use of graphite moderated reactors, and their design modifications to create power production units. We trace the developments in the US that led the US Navy to select the PWR design, and caused the PWR to be used for nearly 2/3 of all UScommercial reactors. In sum, the book uses the three major nuclear accidents as a lens to trace the technological history of nuclear energy production and to link these developments with long-term societal and environmental consequences. The book is intended for readers with an interest in nuclear power and nuclear disasters. The detailed and compelling account will appeal to both the expert and the interested lay-person.

This guide is a compilation of the available descriptions of the zoeal and megalopal stages of anomuran (Families Porcellanidae, Albuneidae, and Hippidae) and brachyuran crabs found off of North Carolina, USA. Descriptions of the zoeae of 44 species and the megalopae of 34 species are included, along with keys for their identification. The purpose of the key is to allow investigators with minimal taxonomic background to identify crab larvae to the species level. To this end, lengthy and complex morphological descriptions have been avoided and the focus has been on gross morphological differences among taxa.
