Yet after every outbreak, the systems put in place to coordinate emergency responses are generally dismantled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne of America's top biomedical researchers, Dr. Pardis Sabeti, and her Pulitzer Prize–winning collaborator, Lara Salahi, argue that these problems are built into the ecosystem of our emergency responses. With an understanding of the path of disease and insight into political psychology, they show how secrecy, competition, and poor coordination plague nearly every major public health crisis and reveal how much more could be done to safeguard the well-being of caregivers, patients, and vulnerable communities. A work of fearless integrity and unassailable authority, \u003cem\u003eOutbreak Culture\u003c\/em\u003e seeks to ensure that we make some urgently needed changes before the next pandemic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47431790657772,"sku":"9780674260474","price":42.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780674260474.jpg?v=1774557153"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/pardis-sabeti.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
