Elizabeth Pisani Boeken

Kritische beschouwing van de wijze waarop de aidsbestrijding momenteel op wereldschaal wordt gevoerd.

One in 30 of the people on this planet is Indonesian. The 13,000 islands of their homeland, scattered along the equator, stretch the distance from London to Tehran, and the residents of the capital, Jakarta, tweet more than those of any other city on the planet. By any standard, Indonesia is a global hub, one of the most dynamic and diverse countries of the 21st century. But you don't have to look far from metropolitan Jakarta to find poverty, superstition, ancient rituals and black magic. Travelling from volcanoes and jungles to reefs and snowy peaks, investigative reporter Elizabeth Pisani sets out to capture the real Indonesia.

With wit and fierce honesty, an epidemiologist talks about sex, drugs, and the mistakes surrounding international AIDS prevention. Pisani reveals how easy it is to draw wrong conclusions from "objective" data and how much money is spent so very badly.

Exploring the intersection of sex, drugs, and public health, Elizabeth Pisani presents a pragmatic approach to combating HIV. With a blend of honesty and humor, she argues that effective solutions are within reach and could be implemented at a lower cost than current expenditures. Unlike typical narratives on AIDS, the book offers an engaging and accessible perspective, steering clear of academic jargon and doomsday scenarios, making it a refreshing read on a critical global issue.

Our world is changing at a dizzying our physical environment, our communities and our cultures, how we communicate and the speed with which we adapt to new ways of experiencing and living in the world. Caught in the midst of decline and regeneration, what are we losing and what are we gaining? And how do we decide what's worth saving and what should be thrown away? In this issue, we travel to places on the cusp of staggering change, talk to people who have seen and done it all and rescue a few choice items from the recycling bin. From Ireland's Catholic priests - once exported around the world and now under threat even in their own country - to the hitherto obscure music saved from extinction via the vast exchange mart of the Internet, "Granta 105" captures moments of both disappearance and rebirth in all their complexity and strangeness.

Hund zum Abendessen? Tee mit dem Sultan? Bei einem Hochzeitszug mitmachen? Mit einer Nomadenfamilie unter einem Baum nächtigen? Während ihrer Indonesienreise hat Elizabeth Pisani nur eine Regel und die lautet: »Sag einfach Ja.« Sie zieht von Insel zu Insel, lässt sich treiben, schlägt aus Prinzip keine Einladung aus und kommt in Orte, von denen sie nie zuvor gehört hat. Insgesamt ein gutes Jahr und zigtausend Kilometer ist sie allein unterwegs, überwiegend mit Schiffen oder altersschwachen, grellbunten Bussen, in denen Indo-Pop plärrt und Spucktüten von der Decke hängen. In dem Sammelsurium von Tausenden Inseln, mehreren Hundert Ethnien, ebenso vielen Sprachen, verschiedenen Religionen warten viele Herausforderungen und ebenso beglückende Momente auf die Autorin. Hautnah erlebt sie eine Nation zwischen Mythen, Mystik und Moderne
