Paul A. Offit
Vaccinated: One Man`s Quest to Defeat the World`s Deadliest Diseases

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: His goal—to prevent every disease that commonly attacked children—was unattainable. But Maurice Hilleman came close. Maurice Hilleman is the father of modern vaccines. Chief among his accomplishments are nine vaccines that practically every child gets, rendering formerly deadly diseases—including mumps, rubella, and measles—nearly forgotten. Author Paul A. Offit`s rich and lively narrative details Hilleman`s research and experiences as the basis for a larger exploration of the development of vaccines, covering two hundred years of medical history and traveling across the globe in the process. The history of vaccines necessarily brings with it a cautionary message, as they have come under assault from those insisting they do more harm than good. Paul Offit clearly and compellingly rebuts these arguments, and, by demonstrating how much the work of Hilleman and others has gained for humanity, shows us how much we have to lose. [detailed...]

Vaccine: The Controversial Story of Medicine`s Greatest Lifesaver

2007 y.
Publisher: W. W. Norton &, Company, Inc.
Description: When President George W.Bush bared his arm and received a smallpox vaccination in December 2002, it wasn`t about personal health. This was a message to the nation, as our troops prepared to invade Iraq, that we needed to prepare for biological retaliation. Such a political use of vaccination was nothing new, however, as this groundbreaking history makes clear. Political and cultural intrigue have often accompanied vaccination during the three centuries it has been systematically used to prevent infectious diseases - from Cotton Mather`s divisive introduction of smallpox inoculation in colonial Boston to the 9,000 lawsuits recently filed by parents convinced that vaccines caused their children`s autism. `Vaccine` juxtaposes the stories of brilliant scientists with industry`s struggle to produce safe, effective, and profitable vaccines. It focuses on the role of military and medical authority in the introduction of vaccines and looks at why some parents have resisted this… [detailed...]

2009 y.
Publisher: Taschen
Description: Think Valentino: think luxury. Think elegance. Think red carpet. Fashion`s most beloved upholder of refined decadence and the most exciting couturier in business is known around the globe simply by his first name. Only a few years after opening his fashion house in Rome in 1959, Valentino was already at the height of success, counting Elizabeth Taylor, Jackie Kennedy, and Audrey Hepburn among his devotees. Over forty years later, not much has changed - he`s still dressing the top celebrities, from Gwyneth Paltrow to J.Lo, though now his business is a major economic force in Italy and his fashion house is among the most famous in the world. Valentino has always designed clothes for glamorous and sophisticated women, never wavering from his signature style even when grunge, deconstruction, and other passing fads were all the rage. Though his couture division almost never makes a profit (his ready-to-wear lines are what fuel the business), his heart is most solidly devoted to the… [detailed...]

Valerio Olgiati

2006 y.
Publisher: Gustavo Gili
Description: For years now, Swiss architecture has been grabbing international attention not only for the high general level of its buildings but for a few great names. Aside from the megastudio of Herzog and de Meuron, which builds on all five continents, Switzerland has an extensive network of small studios with a modest work that, as in the case of Peter Zumthor, have crossed the frontier and become known the world over for the care, beauty and precision of their buildings. Valerio Olgiati`s work would belong to this genealogy of the patient, well-made body of work. Valerio Olgiati became known through the school in Paspels and, a little later, through the radical reconstruction of Das Gelbe Haus -two small buildings in villages in the Swiss canton of Grisons that appeared in all the main international magazines (a+u, Baumeister, AA Files, etc.). The radical nature of his approach and the perfect execution of clear and concise ideas have enabled his work to exude a special intensity and to… [detailed...]
