Imagine a world where your phone is too big for your hand, where your doctor prescribes a drug that is wrong for your body, where in a car accident you are 47% more likely to be seriously injured, where every week the countless hours of work you do are not recognised or valued. If any of this sounds familiar, chances are that you're a woman.
Invisible Women shows us how, in a world largely built for and by men, we are systematically ignoring half the population. It exposes the gender data gap – a gap in our knowledge that is at the root of perpetual, systemic discrimination against women, and that has created a pervasive but invisible bias with a profound effect on women’s lives.
Award-winning campaigner and writer Caroline Criado Perez brings together for the first time an impressive range of case studies, stories and new research from across the world that illustrate the hidden ways in which women are forgotten, and the impact this has on their health and well-being. From government policy and medical research, to technology, workplaces, urban planning and the media, Invisible Women reveals the biased data that excludes women. In making the case for change, this powerful and provocative book will make you see the world anew.

In this revelatory, authoritative portrait of Donald J. Trump and the toxic family that made him, Mary L. Trump, a trained clinical psychologist and Donald’s only niece, shines a bright light on the dark history of their family in order to explain how her uncle became the man who now threatens the world’s health, economic security, and social fabric.

世卫组织认为，2014年的埃博拉疫情显示，“对于应对严重的流感大流行和全球公共卫生突发事件，世界并没有做好准备”。
埃博拉流行病更像是某种模式的一部分，这是一种新发病毒跳出生态系统后造成的震荡波。病毒在人群中自我增殖，吞噬生命，遭遇人类这个物种的反抗，最终偃旗息鼓。然而，下一个震荡波会是什么？
随着过去渐渐变成未来，现在，我打算预测一场全球性爆发，由某种生物安全四级的新发病毒引起，它能通过空气在人与人之间传播，没有疫苗，用现代医药无法医治，用术语说，这是一起四级事件。
约翰•霍普金斯大学公共卫生学院最近完成的一项研究表明，美国所有医院加起来一共只有142张红区床位可以收治感染出血热病毒（例如埃博拉）的患者，另有不到400张红区床位可以收治感染空气传播的高危病毒的患者。
因此，假如爆发四级事件，整个美国加起来也只有542张红区床位。
我们必须问一个问题：假如一种四级新发病毒扩散到北美或任何一个大陆的百万级人群之中，医院是否有能力处理这么多的患者并照护他们？假如感染人数超过百万，流行病学家是否有能力追踪并打破传染链？
现在，守护在病毒圈大门口的战士明白他们面对的敌人强大得可怕，这场战争势必旷日持久。他们的许多武器终将失效，但另一些会开始发挥作用。人类在这场战斗中占据一定的优势，拥有病毒所缺少的某些要素，其中包括自我意识、团队作战的能力和愿意牺牲的精神。
既然病毒可以突变，那么我们也能改变。

By the time Rock Hudson's death in 1985 alerted all America to the danger of the AIDS epidemic, the disease had spread across the nation, killing thousands of people and emerging as the greatest health crisis of the 20th century. America faced a troubling question: What happened? How was this epidemic allowed to spread so far before it was taken seriously? In answering these questions, Shilts weaves the disparate threads into a coherent story, pinning down every evasion and contradiction at the highest levels of the medical, political, and media establishments.
Shilts shows that the epidemic spread wildly because the federal government put budget ahead of the nation's welfare; health authorities placed political expediency before the public health, and scientists were often more concerned with international prestige than saving lives. Against this backdrop, Shilts tells the heroic stories of individuals in science and politics, public health and the gay community, who struggled to alert the nation to the enormity of the danger it faced. And the Band Played On is both a tribute to these heroic people and a stinging indictment of the institutions that failed the nation so badly.

From the beet fields of North Dakota to the wilderness campgrounds of California to an Amazon warehouse in Texas, people who once might have kicked back to enjoy their sunset years are hard at work. Underwater on mortgages or finding that Social Security comes up short, they're hitting the road in astonishing numbers, forming a new community of nomads: RV and van-dwelling migrant laborers, or "workampers." Building on her groundbreaking Harper's cover story, "The End of Retirement," which brought attention to these formerly settled members of the middle class, Jessica Bruder follows one such RVer, Linda, between physically taxing seasonal jobs and reunions of her new van-dweller family, or "vanily." Bruder tells a compelling, eye-opening tale of both the economy's dark underbelly and the extraordinary resilience, creativity, and hope of these hardworking, quintessential Americans?many of them single women?who have traded rootedness for the dream of a better life.

In this long-awaited first volume of a planned trilogy, the most acclaimed and revered living Nobel laureate begins to tell us the story of his life.
Like all his work, Living to Tell the Tale is a magnificent piece of writing. It spans Gabriel García Márquez’s life from his birth in 1927 through the start of his career as a writer to the moment in the 1950s when he proposed to the woman who would become his wife. It has the shape, the quality, and the vividness of a conversation with the reader—a tale of people, places, and events as they occur to him: the colorful stories of his eccentric family members; the great influence of his mother and maternal grandfather; his consuming career in journalism, and the friends and mentors who encouraged him; the myths and mysteries of his beloved Colombia; personal details, undisclosed until now, that would appear later, transmuted and transposed, in his fiction; and, above all, his fervent desire to become a writer. And, as in his fiction, the narrator here is an inspired observer of the physical world, able to make clear the emotions and passions that lie at the heart of a life—in this instance, his own.
Living to Tell the Tale is a radiant, powerful, and beguiling memoir that gives us the formation of Gabriel García Márquez as a writer and as a man.

A grand, devastating portrait of three generations of the Sackler family, famed for their philanthropy, whose fortune was built by Valium and whose reputation was destroyed by OxyContin, by the prize-winning, bestselling author of Say Nothing
The Sackler name adorns the walls of many storied institutions—Harvard, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Oxford, the Louvre. They are one of the richest families in the world, known for their lavish donations to the arts and the sciences. The source of the family fortune was vague, however, until it emerged that the Sacklers were responsible for making and marketing a blockbuster painkiller that was the catalyst for the opioid crisis.
Empire of Pain begins with the story of three doctor brothers, Raymond, Mortimer and the incalculably energetic Arthur, who weathered the poverty of the Great Depression and appalling anti-Semitism. Working at a barbaric mental institution, Arthur saw a better way and conducted groundbreaking research into drug treatments. He also had a genius for marketing, especially for pharmaceuticals, and bought a small ad firm.
Arthur devised the marketing for Valium, and built the first great Sackler fortune. He purchased a drug manufacturer, Purdue Frederick, which would be run by Raymond and Mortimer. The brothers began collecting art, and wives, and grand residences in exotic locales. Their children and grandchildren grew up in luxury.
Forty years later, Raymond’s son Richard ran the family-owned Purdue. The template Arthur Sackler created to sell Valium—co-opting doctors, influencing the FDA, downplaying the drug’s addictiveness—was employed to launch a far more potent product: OxyContin. The drug went on to generate some thirty-five billion dollars in revenue, and to launch a public health crisis in which hundreds of thousands would die.
This is the saga of three generations of a single family and the mark they would leave on the world, a tale that moves from the bustling streets of early twentieth-century Brooklyn to the seaside palaces of Greenwich, Connecticut, and Cap d’Antibes to the corridors of power in Washington, D.C. Empire of Pain chronicles the multiple investigations of the Sacklers and their company, and the scorched-earth legal tactics that the family has used to evade accountability. The history of the Sackler dynasty is rife with drama—baroque personal lives; bitter disputes over estates; fistfights in boardrooms; glittering art collections; Machiavellian courtroom maneuvers; and the calculated use of money to burnish reputations and crush the less powerful.
Empire of Pain is a masterpiece of narrative reporting and writing, exhaustively documented and ferociously compelling. It is a portrait of the excesses of America’s second Gilded Age, a study of impunity among the super elite and a relentless investigation of the naked greed and indifference to human suffering that built one of the world’s great fortunes.

The "New York Times" Bestseller, acclaimed by author such as Freakonomics co-author Steven D. Levitt, Black Swan author Nassim Nicholas Taleb and Nudge co-author Richard Thaler, "Thinking Fast and Slow" offers a whole new look at the way our minds work, and how we make decisions. Why is there more chance we'll believe something if it's in a bold type face? Why are judges more likely to deny parole before lunch? Why do we assume a good-looking person will be more competent? The answer lies in the two ways we make choices: fast, intuitive thinking, and slow, rational thinking. This book reveals how our minds are tripped up by error and prejudice (even when we think we are being logical), and gives you practical techniques for slower, smarter thinking. It will enable to you make better decisions at work, at home, and in everything you do.

《帝国经济风暴：大清帝国最后70年》
一本书讲透经济问题如何搞垮一个帝国。
————————————
为什么晚清已被外国打得千疮百孔，仍旧能屹立不倒？
将清廷从内外交困的绝境中挽救出来的，竟然是厘金的横空出世？
鸦片和茶叶这两种普通的经济作物，如何改变了整个东方贸易格局？
为什么说“鸦片战争是历史的必然结果”？如何从中洞见新世界贸易体系的建立过程？
为什么商业的萧条反倒给了高利贷以兴盛的机会？
山西票号这个“巨无霸”的横空出世，如何一举改变了整个民间金融业的游戏规则？但其受限于经济主体、组织关系、操作手段三个方面，无法脱离为帝国体系服务的命运，只能随着清王朝一同走向没落。在这其间，它如何错过了转型的机会？如何被清政府的监管断了生路？它的种种自救手段因何难以见效？
一个日渐衰颓的庞大帝国，与一个野心勃勃的新兴强权，在世界逐步联为一体的过程中，两者不可避免地碰撞在一起，“天朝上国”的体面在现实的压力面前被彻底击垮。这时，满是烂账的财政状况既是问题之因，也是问题之果。在全面危机下，任何一种激进的改革方案都不可能取得根本性成功，局部的小修小补也不能阻止整体性的财政系统崩溃。
本书讲述了清政府针对外贸、财政、货币、银行、海关、商会这六个部分进行的改良，但财政是庶政之母，在帝国经济风暴之下，种种改革不仅无力回天，甚至引发了一系列复杂的连锁反应，最终导致整个政权的彻底崩溃。
在这个“数千年未有之大变局”的时代，传统与现代、保守与变革、封建与共和，种种思潮前所未有地交织在一起；农业文明与工业文明、中古国家与现代国家、封建社会与工商社会，种种矛盾集中上演。本书透视了晚清的风云变迁，以最通俗的语言揭示了清廷困局的形成原因及其经济改革的发展规律。
从现代化中国的原点，看清时代变迁。

What should we have for dinner? For omnivore's like ourselves, this simple question has always posed a dilemma: When you can eat just about anything nature (or the supermarket) has to offer, deciding what you should eat will inevitably stir anxiety, especially when some of the foods on offer might shorten your life. Today, buffeted by one food fad after another, America is suffering from what can only be described as a national eating disorder. The omnivore's dilemma has returned with a vengeance, as the cornucopia of the modern American supermarket and fast-food outlet confronts us with a bewildering and treacherous food landscape. What's at stake in our eating choices is not only our own and our children's health, but the health of the environment that sustains life on earth.
The Omnivore's Dilemma is a groundbreaking book in which one of America's most fascinating, original, and elegant writers turns his own omnivorous mind to the seemingly straightforward question of what we should have for dinner. The question has confronted us since man discovered fire, but, according to Michael Pollan, the bestselling author of The Botany of Desire, how we answer it today, ath the dawn of the twenty-first century, may well determine our very survival as a species. Should we eat a fast-food hamburger? Something organic> Or perhaps something we hunt, gather or grow ourselves?
To find out, Pollan follows each of the food chains that sustain us--industrial food, organic or alternative food, and food we forage ourselves--from the source to a final meal, and in the process develops a definitive account of the American way of eating. His absorbing narrative takes us from Iowa cornfields to food laboratories, from feedlots and fast-food restaurants to organic farms and hunting grounds, always emphasizing our dynamic coevolutionary relationship with the handful of plant and animal species we depend on. Each time Pollan sits down to a meal, he deploys his unique blend of personal and investigative journalism to trace the origins of everything consumed, revealing what we unwittingly ingest and explaining how our taste for particular foods and flavors reflects our evolutionary inheritance.
The surprising answers Pollan offers to the simple question posed by this book have profound political, economic, psychological, and even mortal implications for all of us. Ultimately, this is a book as much about visionary solutions as it is about problems, and Pollan contends that, when it comes to food, doing the right thing often turns out to be the tastiest thing an eater can do. Beautifully written and thrillingly argued, The Omnivore's Dilemma promises to change the way we think about the politics and pleasure of eating. For anyone who reads it, dinner will never again look, or taste, quite the same.

No matter your goals, Atomic Habits offers a proven framework for improving--every day. James Clear, one of the world's leading experts on habit formation, reveals practical strategies that will teach you exactly how to form good habits, break bad ones, and master the tiny behaviors that lead to remarkable results.
If you're having trouble changing your habits, the problem isn't you. The problem is your system.

Clear is known for his ability to distill complex topics into simple behaviors that can be easily applied to daily life and work. Here, he draws on the most proven ideas from biology, psychology, and neuroscience to create an easy-to-understand guide for making good habits inevitable and bad habits impossible. Along the way, readers will be inspired and entertained with true stories from Olympic gold medalists, award-winning artists, business leaders, life-saving physicians, and star comedians who have used the science of small habits to master their craft and vault to the top of their field.
Learn how to:
* make time for new habits (even when life gets crazy);
* overcome a lack of motivation and willpower;
* design your environment to make success easier;
* get back on track when you fall off course;
...and much more.

深受医生、诗人、战士喜爱的鸦片怎么风靡世界6000年？
奎宁在英国怎么就成了禁用药，后来又怎么再次崛起的？
煤渣中提炼出来的染料如何带来了抗生素，改变整个医药行业？
用不起眼的柳树皮造出来的阿司匹林如何逆袭成为百药之王？
◎你吞下的每一粒药丸，背后都有一段精彩绝伦的传奇故事。
化学制药兴起之前，人们能够享用到的真正有用的药物其实只有罂粟、金鸡纳树皮、柳树皮等寥寥几种，即便到了20世纪初期，大多数医生治疗疾病采用的方法一般是砒霜、水银和泻药，偶尔加上不限量的咖啡和威士忌……真正改变药物历史的是化学家和生物学家，他们带来了抗生素，带来了更有针对性的施医用药的方法，也让我们看见药物、疾病、身体之间的关联。这本书是他们的故事。
◎与众不同的医学史读物，观点很颠覆，很有启发。
药物由前现代到现代的演变，不是传统医学史著作所讲述的英雄人物和伟大发现的历史，是我们用智慧与愚昧艰难抗争的历史。我们会看到，18/19世纪的医生深信自己的神圣和仁慈，怯于承认产褥热导致的大量产妇死亡是因为他们的手上带着细菌，从而大大推迟了消毒水的普及。这样的案例太多。我们在享受药物带来的好处的时候，需要感谢亚里士多德、培根、洛克这样的主张“理论需要用可靠的试验来验证”的哲学家，以及威廉·哈维、托马斯·西德纳姆、奥利弗·温德尔·霍姆斯、弗朗西斯·高尔顿这样的敢于怀疑传统并且不厌其烦进行医学统计分析的医生，他们最终建立了“循证医学”，因为在人类历史上大部分时期，医生害死的病人远比救活的病人多，医生治病太多凭借直觉和传统。
◎讲历史的手法很新奇，层次很丰富。
这是一本用药物串起来的医学历史，有很多有意思的趣味知识，从古巴比伦的鸦片、教皇的奎宁，到强大的德国制药工业、百药之王阿司匹林，每一种经典药物的诞生都有化学、生理学、生物学的厮杀、进步。这也是一本饱含思想的科技社会史，带你思考现代医药是怎么脱离无知，造福人类的，是人们如何用更可靠的统计方法进行试验，与不顾伦理追逐利润的制药工业进行抗争，一步步实现规范的药物监管，让生命的价值更好地被尊重的历史。
◎对我们实际生活中的求医问药大有帮助。
提供了很多关于药物的基本常识：时刻保持怀疑精神，用可靠的理性方法客观检验某种说法，这是我们求医问药的第一步；凡是能够起到药效的药物，都是因为其中包含的某种活性成分，不存在所谓的“偏方”“独家药方”“祖传秘方”；了解了药物的历史，就能正确理解抗生素，是人们依照化学规律制造出来的对疾病造成伤害同时也会对人体产生副作用的药品；放下对医生、医学的神圣迷信，再高明的专家也有骄傲自大的时候，普通人因为总是抱有太高的期待，也会有丧失理性的时刻……
◎《星期日电讯报》《金融时报》《星期日泰晤士报》《新科学家》等主流媒体好评推荐。
“伯奇带领我们走过一段令人惊叹的医药实践之旅。”“每一章都是一则犀利的短小寓言。”作者求学和执教于牛津大学医学院，曾在多家医院工作，医疗经验和教学经验都很丰富，文笔耿直，擅长用机智的方式将医学教科书和现实生活里有关医药的槽点一一拎出，讲清楚每一桩诡异的医学事情背后，都有深厚的错误传统和大众心态在作祟，并把医学史上各种怪诞的典故直言不讳地呈现出来，既让人发笑，又引人深思。
亚历山大大帝临终前说：我死在太多医生的帮助下。享年33岁。
普林尼记录了当时流行的墓志铭：就是那帮医生杀了我。
华盛顿死前最后一句话是：让我安静地去吧。此前他被灌了大量水银，还被放了2.5升血。
乔治·奥威尔去世前两年一直与一种新药链霉素奋战，他躺在病床上说：我觉得使用这种药物，就好像把船凿沉，来驱赶船上的老鼠。这种有效药物的副作用本来是可以避免的。
即便到了20世纪，医学教科书仍然充斥着自相矛盾的教导和未经检验的谬误传统，人类与疾病的抗争，同时也是与谬误的抗争。《药物简史》考察古巴比伦到当代6000年的一系列经典药物，每一种药物的背后，都是一段精彩的传奇故事。
奎宁与英国人——1651年，奎宁正式进入《罗马药典》，是药典中为数不多的有效药，风靡全欧洲，不过英国却是个例外。有人发烧，服用了奎宁之后，死掉了。英国人认为这是“天主教的阴谋”，这种药就成了非法药物。塔尔博特偷偷引进了这种药物，加上玫瑰叶、柠檬汁和混合各种原料的葡萄酒组成一种“神秘药方”。他的推销大为成功，查理二世重金聘请他为医师，并且赐给骑士爵位，并让他透露到底是什么药物这么有效。那医生回答：耶稣会士树皮(英国人对奎宁的称呼)。查理二世大为惊骇：这药早就已经明确禁止使用，为什么以前害人的药物，现在这么有效呢？
那医生回答：这种药的效果只有国王才配消受。
抗生素的革命——19世纪后期，化学家发现把从煤渣中提炼出来的染料涂在植物或动物组织上，染料会将纤维清晰地显现出来，并且顺着组织运动，进入各个器官。埃尔利希凭借这种方法弄清楚了血清的功能，里面具有某种“抗体”，像“魔法子弹”一样对病菌进行打击。细菌表面存在与人体细胞不一样的接收器，如果能让毒素进入这些地方，就能在不杀死正常细胞的情况下杀死细菌。化学家们造出了各种各样的“打靶”药物，这是抗生素时代的开端，这种思维方法也是“化学疗法”的开端。
这才开始了乙酰丙胺(退热冰)、乙酰水杨酸(阿司匹林)、二醋吗啡(海洛因)、百浪多息、盘尼西林、沙利度胺(反应停)等一系列经典药物的传奇故事，以及赫希斯特、默克、法本、拜耳等庞大的制药公司的崛起与药物生产和监管背后药效评估方法的革新和法律、伦理博弈。

本书所说的“崩溃”，是指某一人类社会在相当长一段时间内，人口急剧减少，政治、经济、社会复杂程度骤降，终至瓦解。这在人类历史上并不罕见，许多壮丽的文明遗址引发幽古之思，人们在抚今追昔时，不免产生疑问：为什么有些社会得以繁荣延续，有些社会却走向衰亡，最终湮没在历史长河中？

为了回答这个问题，在本书中，戴蒙德延续其思考框架，聚焦生态环境与人类文明的关系。在比较历史研究的视野下，戴蒙德以自己熟悉的美国蒙大拿州作为引子，纵向比较了复活节岛、玛雅文明、格陵兰岛的维京社会、德川幕府时期的日本等过去社会的兴衰存亡，又横向分析了卢旺达、海地与多米尼加、中国、澳大利亚等现代社会的发展与困境。这些文明社会面临着相似的危机——在污染、瘟疫、战争、饥荒的背后，千疮百孔的生态环境是社会走向败亡的大前奏，而不同社会应对环境问题的选择决定了它们迥异的结局。基于此，生态环境如何影响人类社会的命运这一议题，从一个宏大模糊的背景角色走到前台的聚焦点下，一些从前历史研究所忽略的关键信息被提取出来，重塑了人们对社会发展的认知。

今天，现代社会同样面临危机——前所未有的人口压力、全球性的环境破坏，地区性的崩溃可能会迅速向全世界蔓延。经济发展与环境保护是否不可兼得？戴蒙德为我们敲响警钟：我们对这一问题的理解与抉择将决定当今社会的兴盛或衰落。

We have never had so much information at our fingertips and yet most of us simply don't understand how our world really works. Professor Vaclav Smil is not a pessimist or an optimist, he is a scientist, and this book is a much-needed reality check on topics ranging from food production and nutrition, through energy and the environment, to globalization and the future. For example, the carbon footprint of meat is well known, but did you know that the equivalent of five tablespoons of diesel fuel goes into the production of each greenhouse-grown, medium-size, supermarket-bought tomato? The gap between belief and reality is vast.
Drawing on the latest science, tackling sources of misinformation head on and championing a rational, fact-based approach, in How the World Really Works Smil shows, for example, why the planet isn't 'suffocating' (even burning all the planet's fossil fuels would reduce oxygen levels by just 0.25 per cent) and that globalization isn't 'inevitable' and nor should it be (the stupidity of allowing 70 per cent of the world's rubber gloves to be made in just one factory became glaringly obvious in 2020).
Ultimately, Smil answers the most profound question of our age: are we irrevocably doomed or is a brighter utopia ahead? Compelling, data-rich and revisionist, this wonderfully broad, interdisciplinary masterpiece finds faults with both extremes. Looking at the world through this quantitative lens reveals hidden truths that change the way we see our past, present and uncertain future.

Tony Fadell led the teams that created the iPod, iPhone and Nest Learning Thermostat and learned enough in 30+ years in Silicon Valley about leadership, design, startups, Apple, Google, decision-making, mentorship, devastating failure and unbelievable success to fill an encyclopedia.
So that’s what this book is. An advice encyclopedia. A mentor in a box.
Written for anyone who wants to grow at work—from young grads navigating their first jobs to CEOs deciding whether to sell their company—Build is full of personal stories, practical advice and fascinating insights into some of the most impactful products and people of the 20th century.
Each quick 5-20 page entry builds on the previous one, charting Tony’s personal journey from a product designer to a leader, from a startup founder to an executive to a mentor. Tony uses examples that are instantly captivating, like the process of building the very first iPod and iPhone. Every chapter is designed to help readers with a problem they’re facing right now—how to get funding for their startup, whether to quit their job or not, or just how to deal with the jerk in the next cubicle.
Tony forged his path to success alongside mentors like Steve Jobs and Bill Campbell, icons of Silicon Valley who succeeded time and time again. But Tony doesn’t follow the Silicon Valley credo that you have to reinvent everything from scratch to make something great. His advice is unorthodox because it’s old school. Because Tony’s learned that human nature doesn’t change. You don’t have to reinvent how you lead and manage—just what you make.
And Tony’s ready to help everyone make things worth making.

Many have hailed the widespread use of generic drugs as one of the most important public-health developments of the twenty-first century. Today, almost 90 percent of our pharmaceutical market is comprised of generics, the majority of which are manufactured overseas. We have been reassured by our doctors, our pharmacists and our regulators that generic drugs are identical to their brand-name counterparts, just less expensive. But is this really true?
Katherine Eban’s Bottle of Lies exposes the deceit behind generic-drug manufacturing—and the attendant risks for global health. Drawing on exclusive accounts from whistleblowers and regulators, as well as thousands of pages of confidential FDA documents, Eban reveals an industry where fraud is rampant, companies routinely falsify data, and executives circumvent almost every principle of safe manufacturing to minimize cost and maximize profit, confident in their ability to fool inspectors. Meanwhile, patients unwittingly consume medicine with unpredictable and dangerous effects.
The story of generic drugs is truly global. It connects middle America to China, India, sub-Saharan Africa and Brazil, and represents the ultimate litmus test of globalization: what are the risks of moving drug manufacturing offshore, and are they worth the savings?
A decade-long investigation with international sweep, high-stakes brinkmanship and big money at its core, Bottle of Lies reveals how the world’s greatest public-health innovation has become one of its most astonishing swindles.
