She lives in Los Angeles with her husband Kevin and their two sons. \nAbout Biological War: A Scenrio \nA lab accident\, a bio-attack\, a global pandemic\, and the collapse of human society. In this essential new book\, based on dozens of new interviews with experts with high-level political\, governmental\, medical\, and military responsibility\, Annie Jacobsen examines this very scenario. It would be only a matter of days from such a global infection before the infrastructure built to handle this gravest of situations would be in a battle for human existence. \nThe fallout: mass death\, total societal breakdown\, widespread insurrection\, anarchy\, and a plague-ravaged wasteland that no longer resembles modern civilization. In other words: dystopia. \nFollowing the gripping narrative style that launched Nuclear War to the New York Times bestseller list\, Jacobsen looks deeply at a situation that is in some ways the opposite of a nuclear bomb: There is no mushroom cloud\, no shock wave or blast. Instead\, the scenario that could end the world as we know it begins with something so small\, and something so malicious\, that when used for evil\, only evil can result. \nThis is what could happen; a ticking-clock roadmap to the hours\, days\, and weeks following the release of a biological agent\, that serves as the most essential\, forward-looking journalism in preparation for urgent societal upheaval.

SUMMARY:Best of the Best Book Club: "The Story of a Heart" by Rachel Clarke
DESCRIPTION:The Coronado Public Library’s Best of the Best Book Club meets regularly on the fourth Wednesday of each month to discuss books that have won major awards. \nFor our August meeting\, we will read and discuss the winner of the 2025 Women’s Prize for Non-Fiction winner The Story of a Heart by Rachel Clarke\, an unforgettable and inspiring true story of how one family’s grief transformed into a lifesaving gift. \n \nAbout The Story of a Heart \nThe first of our organs to form and the last to die\, the heart is both a simple pump and the symbol of what makes us human; as long as it continues to beat\, there is hope. In The Story of a Heart\, Dr. Rachel Clarke blends the history of medical innovations behind transplant surgery with the story of two children — one of whom desperately needs a new heart. \nOne summer day\, nine-year-old Keira Ball was in a terrible car accident and suffered catastrophic brain injuries. As the rest of her body began to shut down\, her heart continued to beat. In an act of extraordinary generosity\, Keira’s parents and siblings immediately agreed that she would have wanted to be an organ donor. Meanwhile nine-year-old Max Johnson had been in a hospital for nearly a year\, valiantly fighting the virus that was causing his young heart to fail. When Max’s parents received the call they had been hoping for\, they knew it came at a terrible cost to another family — in what Clarke calls “the brutal arithmetic of transplant surgery.” \nThe act of Keira’s heart resuming its rhythm inside Max’s body was a medical miracle. But this was only part of the story. While waiting on the transplant list\, Max had become the hopeful face of a campaign to change the UK’s laws around organ donation. Following his successful surgery\, Keira’s mother saw the little boy beaming on the front page of the newspaper and knew it was the same boy whose parents had recently sent her an anonymous letter overflowing with gratitude for her daughter’s heart. The two mothers began to exchange messages and eventually decided to meet. \nIn this “profoundly moving…[and] beautiful\, humane book” (Rob Delaney) Clarke relates the urgent journey of Keira’s heart and explores the history of the remarkable surgery that made it possible\, stretching back over a century and involving the knowledge and dedication of surgeons\, nurses and technicians\, immunologists and paramedics. A powerful tale of two families linked by one heart\, The Story of a Heart is a testament to compassion for the dying\, the many ways we honor our loved ones\, and the tenacity of love.
