Summary:

Infectious disease is a moving target: new diseases emerge every year, old diseases evolve into new forms, and ecological and socioeconomic upheavals change the transmission pathways that spread disease. But where does disease come from? How is it transmitted from one person to another? And why are some individuals more susceptible than others?

In this Very Short Introduction, Marta Wayne and Benjamin Bolker address these questions through the lenses of ecology and evolution. Assessing the management of outbreaks of diseases such as influenza, HIV/AIDS, cholera, and COVID-19, they provide specific examples to illustrate why major diseases still threaten populations all over the world.

Frank's problems grow exponentially with each sunrise. After the storm passes and the water recedes, every flooded house must be reoccupied by its owners, leaving endless opportunities for criminals to sneak in. Squatters appear everywhere. Chaos builds upon chaos. And, guess what? There are no police cars, fire trucks, or FEMA trailers coming to the rescue . . . The prize called survival will go to whatever subdivision can pull itself together first.

It won't be easy. Borders between groups of residents are forming. To the south, where most of the people live, gun battles echo on the wind, and roadblocks are already going up to keep them away. To the north, the shady town of North Pointe has been making new friends in the adjacent subdivisions. And to the west, on the coast, the storm has brought in a new and unpredictable neighbor. A beached container ship with a mysterious cargo . . . To the east, however, there might be hope. A crashed plane in the forest deposits a resource that might help get the lights back on for Clownfish Cove.

All Frank has to do is gather his people, drive into the unmapped forest, deal with armed strangers and criminal teenagers, and then get the resource back home to Clownfish Cove . . . He's living the retirement dream. The day-by-day saga continues on day six after the EMP.

Summary:

Lida was their last chance for an uncolonized planet. But a world-spanning fungus had colonized it first.

Agetha and her husband have spent their whole lives in the fleet's zero-G. Now all is turmoil as the fleet lands, discovering they are surrounded by a single fungal biomass spanning the entire planet. To build a new home, the fleet must confront a dangerous organism, and Agetha must decide if she can raise a family in this inhospitable landscape.

Jane Brighton holds tenuous command over the colony and its administrators. She and the other gene-modded leaders emerged from their four-hundred-year suspended animation to find a crew much different from the one that departed Old Earth. Jane must direct the colony's fragile growth and defend it against being overrun by the fast-growing biomass.

But there is something none of the colonists know. The massive organism that spans the planet is not simply a fungal mass, nor even a chimerical combination of species that once roamed the planet. The biomass has desires and goals, and one is to know these strange beings carving out a home in its midst.

Summary:

A World On the Precipice . . .

Will Grayson knew he would probably live to see the end of the world, with the way things have been going-he just didn't think he'd live through it, let alone with an insufferable git by his side.

A System Glitch . . .

Hiking in the Peak District at the moment Earth is-accidentally-infused with magic and thrown into an indifferent and muddled system, Will returns to his Derbyshire village to find a ghost town.

No bodies. No blood.

Only a verdant, pervasive green that has overtaken his home as if it's had a hundred years to grow. But this new magic is alive, and it's not alone.

Neither is Will. Accompanied only by the person he'd vote Least Likely to Team Up With in an Apocalypse and a literal baby dragon, Will searches for traces of his family and instead finds only dangling threads of clues. Tugging on those threads might lead to answers . . . or they might unravel what's left of Earth.

Summary:

Susannah Fletcher has everything a young lady could desire: wealth, the attentions of well-to-do duke, and a reputation as spotless as an angel's petticoats. Yet, she would throw it all away for one opportunity to perform her music on stage-scandalous as that may be. Which is precisely when the rich and menacing 'Wolf of Mayfair' makes her an offer she couldn't possibly refuse . . .

Born on the streets of London, Rafe Winters knows only ruthless ambition. But he's missing one thing: respectability. It's within reach . . . if he can draw the polished aristocrats to his establishment with a classically trained musician, and just a soupçon of mystery-like the flame-haired Susannah. Of course, he'll have to make it worth her while. After all, he's not a complete beast.

Now Susannah performs in a red cloak as the enigmatic 'Red Duchess,' and all of London is entranced-along with Rafe. He promised her he'd do everything to protect her reputation on stage. But off-stage, the wolf is waiting for Susannah to stray from the path and into his arms. No matter the risk . . .
