Ezekial Murphy, a West Indian immigrant, takes up a new job as an attendant at a large London lavatory. The supervisor, Josiah Reynolds, and Jason, a third West Indian, explain that their main problem is the casual sex which takes place in the cubicles.Under pressure from the council authorities to reduce such behaviour, they expect Ez to help them in 'cleaning out the swamp'.Each of the protagonists brings his own moral assumptions to the question. Ez, a devout Adventist, is shocked by such revelations. Jason, a Rastafarian, believes that this kind of sex occurs because 'Whitey' is inherently corrupt. Reynolds, who takes more pragmatic view, is concerned to prevent further illicit encounters in case the council attempts to close the establishment down. Subtly influenced by the women in their lives, Ez, Reynolds and Jason – their future employment prospects in jeopardy – must take a fresh look at their work and at themselves.

"Vaata lapse silmadesse – midagi sugavamat pole olemas. Lapse silmad on nagu pohjatu sugavik. /Osho/Lastele on omane ehe vabadus. Nad on roomsameelsed, mangulised ja loomu poolest loovad. Kuid kasvatamise kaigus surutakse neid omadusi maha, et lapsed oleksid sonakuulelikud ning sobituksid voimalikult hasti uhiskonda. Ja kuigi iga vanemate polvkond kinnitab, et nemad ei tee oma lastega samu vigu, mis tehti nendega, sunnivad nad paratamatult lastele peale puudusi ja piiranguid, mille nad ise parisid oma vanematelt.See raamat kutsub ules „laste vabastusliikumisele”, et purustada vanad kaitumismustrid ja panna lastega suhtlemisele uus alus. See on teejuht taiskasvanutele, et nad teadvustaksid, kui palju nende kaitumine lapsi mojutab. Me opime, millal laste eest hoolitseda ja neid kaitsta ning millal lasta neil omaette tegutseda, et nad oskaksid elust roomu tunda ja saavutaksid oma korgeima potentsiaali.Osho (1931–1990) on uks tuntumaid ja provokatiivsemaid tanapaeva mustikuid. Londoni Sunday Times nimetas Oshot uheks „20. sajandi tegijaks”; kirjanik Tom Robbins aga „koige ohtlikumaks inimeseks parast Jeesus Kristust”. Tema opetuste moju on uha kasvanud ning jouab vaimsete otsijateni koikjal maailmas."

Emerging Infectious Diseases. A Guide to Diseases, Causative Agents, and Surveillance Emerging Infectious Diseases. A Guide to Diseases, Causative Agents, and Surveillance

Автор: Lisa Beltz A.

Год издания: 

Emerging Infectious Diseases offers an introduction to emerging and reemerging infectious disease, focusing on significant illnesses found in various regions of the world. Many of these diseases strike tropical regions or developing countries with particular virulence, others are found in temperate or developed areas, and still other microbes and infections are more indiscriminate. This volume includes information on the underlying mechanisms of microbial emergence, the technology used to detect them, and the strategies available to contain them. The author describes the diseases and their causative agents that are major factors in the health of populations the world over. The book contains up-to-date selections from infectious disease journals as well as information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization, MedLine Plus, and the American Society for Microbiology. Perfect for students or those new to the field, the book contains Summary Overviews (thumbnail sketches of the basic information about the microbe and the associated disease under examination), Review Questions (testing students' knowledge of the material), and Topics for Further Discussion (encouraging a wider conversation on the implications of the disease and challenging students to think creatively to develop new solutions). This important volume provides broad coverage of a variety of emerging infectious diseases, of which most are directly important to health practitioners in the United States.
