Synopsis Covidians and Covidology by : Yasser Negm

"This is perhaps the most comprehensive book dedicated to the uprising of COVID-19 and the world's future after it fades. There is nothing that a reader will not find or will not understand." Joel's books ______________________________________________________________In these uncertain times engulfed by clouds of doubts, suspicion, panic, lack of scientific and logical thinking, and inability to plan even for the near future, I have opted to decipher some haunting mysteries, de-obscure the overall foggy situation, and disengage the alleged conflict between science and quackery.Although we are still in the "crawling" stage to come at grips with the virus, we have a thousand-year repertoire of common sense, hundreds of years of development in preserving public health, and decades of evidence-based medicine.This book simplifies scientific terminology for the non-specialist reader. It succinctly focuses on straightforward practical information: no profuse introductions, no enigmatic theories, and no boring details that may repel you, unnecessarily prolong the book, or restrict the required diversity to review all aspects of dealing with the pandemic in everyday life.In terms of references and sources, I often refer to verified and credible general media sources rather than specialized references. This is to facilitate cross-reference by the reader and go through the same language and terms the general public understand.As healthcare professionals, we are both debtors and creditors. We owe it to all humankind to guide them in terms of awareness, education, care, treatment, and scientific research during this dreaded pandemic. However, they also owe us to listen to what we say, read what we write, and trust us. They should not surrender their ears, eyes, and minds to the mongers of deceit, addicts to conspiracy theories, idiots of limited intelligence, and advocates of political and commercial agendas that run counter to professionalism, knowledge, honesty, and credibility.___________________________________________________________"Unlike other books that focus more on technical language, this one by Dr. Yasser Negm simplifies all technical and scientific terms, which is appealing to a non-specialist reader. The book focuses on facts, practical information, and simple science.The Egyptian-British author as a researcher and physician decodes some lingering mysteries, clears the vague status of the pandemic, and unlocks the apparent conflict between science and deception. The book starts from Spanish flu memories and then proceeds to COVID-19 as the return of the avenger.It then focuses on the march of the novel virus, the different ways to prevent the infection and how effective they are, the different diagnosis mechanisms available and their efficiency, delayed vaccination, the second wave, herd immunity, impact on the society and the government, and the post-COVID era.Interestingly, these details are presented in a scientific way, meaning they are backed by proper research sources. There is also a special section for kids and masks, each having the details presented in the FAQs format." Joel's books

Synopsis For the Common Good by : Alex John London

Alex John London defends a conception of the common good that grounds a moral imperative with two requirements. The first is to promote research that enables key social institutions to effectively, efficiently and equitably safeguard the basic interests of individuals. The second is to ensure that research is organized as a voluntary scheme of social cooperation that respects its various contributors' moral claim to be treated as free and equal. Connecting research to the goals of a just social order grounds a framework for assessing and managing research risk that reconciles these requirements and justifies key oversight practices in non-paternalistic terms. The result is a new understanding of research ethics that resolves coordination problems that threaten these goals and provides credible assurance that the requirements of this imperative are being met.--

Synopsis Restore Your Dreamland by : Yasser Negm

This book is fiction and non-fiction, mysteries and Science, myths and facts. It asks questions like, why did Michael Jackson's eyes stop dancing 60 days before his demise? It asks you to imagine yourself as Crescendo, the caveman living in a 21st-century luxurious hotel or as part of a jury sentencing a criminal whose lawyer has been drowsy all throughout the trial. In a journey through 17 stories, some fiction while others are real, this book explores the mysteries, wonders and science of sleep. We'll go back to the 17th century to live the story of Titus and Arabella and we'll roam the streets of Victorian London with Charles Dickens. We'll find out some amazing answers to some intriguing questions. Such as: What is the dilemma with generation X ladies? How many youths and children die due to poverty of time? Is Thomas Edison a superman or a hypocritic sleeper? Is it a good idea to start the school day late? You'll be intrigued to read the confessions of night shift doctors, the tale of a 2020 sleeping beauty, and the stories of the slumber murderer and the slumber artist. How have big dreams changed our world? Can dreams empower your productivity and creativity? Finally, in the last story, you'll take a cruise down the river Glymph. As you may have already realized, all 17 stories center on one theme: sleep. As the first in the "RESTORE" series, the end of the book outlines a 10-dimension plan to invest in the one third of your lifetime the sleep comprises to boost the other two thirds, for excellent results.
