Angel Virus Remnants of the Flame


Book Description

We hear the distant echoes of piercing screams. Once, these screams rang through the flames. Now, they vibrate across burnt remnants, growing gradually softer in the smoke-fogged air. From the ashes, four survivors rise Ñ Dutch, Jin, Aletta, Aysi. The chosen ones, but not the only ones. Meanwhile, pure evil has come to Earth, hell-bent on destroying all who remain. What was once the world we called our home has become a sickening, frightening purgatory, its surfaces crawling with red-eyed creatures of sheer darkness. The human survivors find themselves lost, both in body and in soul. Where are they to go now, seeing as their home is not their own? And even if they manage to survive, can hope survive, as well? Amid all the despair, our four heroes hear a distant calling, a voice both soft and welcoming: ÒAngel Falls.Ó They are to go there. And perhaps, upon completing their treacherous journey, they will at last encounter some needed answers...

The Threat of Pandemic Influenza


Book Description

Public health officials and organizations around the world remain on high alert because of increasing concerns about the prospect of an influenza pandemic, which many experts believe to be inevitable. Moreover, recent problems with the availability and strain-specificity of vaccine for annual flu epidemics in some countries and the rise of pandemic strains of avian flu in disparate geographic regions have alarmed experts about the world's ability to prevent or contain a human pandemic. The workshop summary, The Threat of Pandemic Influenza: Are We Ready? addresses these urgent concerns. The report describes what steps the United States and other countries have taken thus far to prepare for the next outbreak of "killer flu." It also looks at gaps in readiness, including hospitals' inability to absorb a surge of patients and many nations' incapacity to monitor and detect flu outbreaks. The report points to the need for international agreements to share flu vaccine and antiviral stockpiles to ensure that the 88 percent of nations that cannot manufacture or stockpile these products have access to them. It chronicles the toll of the H5N1 strain of avian flu currently circulating among poultry in many parts of Asia, which now accounts for the culling of millions of birds and the death of at least 50 persons. And it compares the costs of preparations with the costs of illness and death that could arise during an outbreak.




My Body is Paper


Book Description

"Cuadros died of AIDS in 1996, two years after chronicling the disease in City of God, a book of poems and stories about queer Los Angeles. His belated follow-up takes the same form, with the same bracing urgency."—The New York Times "Without doubt one of the sexiest and most important writers I've ever read."—Justin Torres, author of Blackouts "My Body Is Paper is a testament to the unrelenting literary magic of Gil Cuadros. Through poetry and prose, Cuadros holds a mirror up to California, reflecting this land of dualities back at us. He gives us sunshine and sickness, ecstasy and drudgery, eros and death. I am so very grateful for his work."—Myriam Gurba, author of Creep: Accusations and Confessions Since City of God (1994) by Gil Cuadros was published 30 years ago, it has become an unlikely classic (an "essential book of Los Angeles" according to the LA Times), touching readers and writers who find in his work a singular evocation of Chicanx life in Los Angeles during and leading up to the AIDS epidemic, which took his life in 1996. Little did we know, Cuadros continued writing exuberant prose and poems in the period between his one published book and his untimely death at the age of 34. This recently discovered treasure, My Body Is Paper, is a stunning portrait of sex, family, religion, culture of origin, and the betrayals of the body. Tender and blistering, erotic and spiritual—Cuadros dives into these complexities which we grapple with today, showing us how to survive these times, and beyond.
