What makes some societies more vulnerable to AIDS than others? Why is the HIV epidemic so severe in Africa and why have governments and NGOs largely failed to halt its progress? Epstein goes to the heart of why epidemics spread and what we should be doing to stop them. In 1993, Helen Epstein, a scientist working with a biotechnology company searching for an AIDS vaccine, moved to Uganda, where she witnessed first-hand the suffering caused by the HIV virus.

Three Men, 34 Days, and a Thousand Miles Adrift The Raft, the subject of the 2014 movie Against the Sun, recounts the harrowing adventures of three downed US Navy airmen—Harold Dixon, Tony Pastula, and Gene Aldrich—in the Pacific Ocean during World War Two. The men, forced to ditch their plane after running out of fuel, were then confined to a 4 foot by 8 foot rubber raft for 34 days at sea, with no food or water (apart from what they could catch or trap), and no protection from the relentless tropical sun and long nights. The men finally reached a small inhabitated island where they stayed for 7 days before a U.S. warship arrived. Their story is a powerful testament of courage and leadership under extreme conditions. Includes four pages of photographs. Titel: The Raft Forfatter: Robert Trumbull Forlag: CreateSpace Udgivelsesår: 2015 Sider: 138 Sprog: Engelsk
