Prevention Diaries offers a reintroduction to the simple principles of prevention and an illustration of how its applications can benefit health and welfare in individuals and populations. Written for a general audience, it outlines unexpected (but empirically predictable) factors that shape our health and happiness, all of which can be situated through prevention: How do trees help reduce violence? What do roads have to do with chronic disease? Through the novelty of connecting seemingly disparate societal factors, Cohen makes a case for the reinstitution of simple upstream measures that reap downstream benefits.

The New York Times–bestselling inside look at one of the world’s most powerful and mysterious institutions For more than twenty-five years, John Thavis held one of the most remarkable journalistic assignments in the world: reporting on the inner workings of the Vatican. In The Vatican Diaries, Thavis reveals Vatican City as a place struggling to define itself in the face of internal and external threats, where Curia cardinals fight private wars and sexual abuse scandals threaten to undermine papal authority. Thavis (author of The Vatican Prophecies: Investigating Supernatural Signs, Apparitions, and Miracles in the Modern Age) also takes readers through the politicking behind the election of Pope Francis and what we might expect from his papacy. The Vatican Diaries is a perceptive, compelling, and provocative account of this singular institution and will be of interest to anyone intrigued by the challenges faced by religion in an increasingly secularized world.
