Story
Technological innovation is deeply woven into the fabric of American culture, and is no less a basic feature of American health care. Medical technology saves lives and relieves suffering, and is enormously popular with the public, profitable for doctors, and a source of great wealth for industry. Yet its costs are rising at a dangerously unsustainable rate. The control of technology costs poses a terrible ethical and policy dilemma. How can we deny people what they may need to live and flourish?

Story
When Peter Piot was in medical school, a professor warned, "There’s no future in infectious diseases. They’ve all been solved." Fortunately, Piot ignored him, and the result has been an exceptional, adventure-filled career. In the 1970s, as a young man, Piot was sent to Central Africa as part of a team tasked with identifying a grisly new virus. Crossing into the quarantine zone on the most dangerous missions, he studied local customs to determine how this disease - the Ebola virus - was spreading. Later, Piot found himself in the field again when another mysterious epidemic broke out: AIDS.

Story
El 13 de enero de 2020, Salvador Illa tomaba posesión de su nuevo cargo: Ministro de Sanidad. Ese mismo día, en la otra punta del mundo, las alertas empezaban a sonar en Wuhan. Transcurrido un tiempo prudencial y superada ya una de las peores crisis sanitarias de la historia, toca hacer balance y dar cuenta de lo acaecido. Esta es una crónica en primera persona de un año que transcurrió a un ritmo frenético, un libro que nos sumerge en la trastienda del poder, una pequeña sala de crisis desde la que se lideró y coordinó el trabajo de cientos de profesionales y en la que fue imposible aislarse de la gravedad y de la tensión con la que se vivía en España esos días.

Story
Sono organi raffinatissimi e delicati: sintetizzano, inventano, determinano il miracolo della vita. Sono i nostri polmoni, leggeri e preziosi, la loro attività non si può fermare nemmeno il tempo necessario per curarli, perché nessuno sopravvive senza ossigeno, nessuno può stare più di pochi minuti senza respirare. Quando un nuovo virus sconosciuto e letale ha cominciato a insidiare proprio i polmoni, ci siamo accorti che la maggior parte di noi li conosce pochissimo: come funzionano, cosa occorre per mantenerli in salute e cosa li mette in crisi?
