An unforgettable portrait of individuals who hope, struggle, and grow along a single street cutting through the heart of Shanghai, from one of the most acclaimed broadcast journalists reporting on China. Modern Shanghai: a global city in the midst of a renaissance, where dreamers arrive each day to partake in a mad torrent of capital, ideas, and opportunity. Marketplace’s Rob Schmitz is one of them. He immerses himself in his neighborhood, forging deep relationships with ordinary people who see in the city’s sleek skyline a brighter future, and a chance to rewrite their destinies. There’s Zhao, whose path from factory floor to shopkeeper is sidetracked by her desperate measures to ensure a better future for her sons. Down the street lives Auntie Fu, a fervent capitalist forever trying to improve herself with religion and get-rich-quick schemes while keeping her skeptical husband at bay. Up a flight of stairs, musician and café owner CK sets up shop to attract young dreamers like himself, but learns he’s searching for something more. As Schmitz becomes more involved in their lives, he makes surprising discoveries which untangle the complexities of modern China: A mysterious box of letters that serve as a portal to a family’s—and country’s—dark past, and an abandoned neighborhood where fates have been violently altered by unchecked power and greed. A tale of 21st-century China, Street of Eternal Happiness profiles China’s distinct generations through multifaceted characters who illuminate an enlightening, humorous, and at times heartrending journey along the winding road to the Chinese Dream. Each story adds another layer of humanity and texture to modern China, a tapestry also woven with Schmitz’s insight as a foreign correspondent. The result is an intimate and surprising portrait that dispenses with the tired stereotypes of a country we think we know, immersing us instead in the vivid stories of the people who make up one of the world’s most captivating cities.

When health officials in San Francisco discovered bubonic plague in their city’s Chinatown in 1900, they responded with intrusive, controlling, and arbitrary measures that touched off a sociocultural conflict still relevant today. Guenter B. Risse’s history of an epidemic is the first to incorporate the voices of those living in Chinatown at the time, including the desperately ill Wong Chut King, believed to be the first person infected. Lasting until 1904, the plague in San Francisco's Chinatown reignited racial prejudices, renewed efforts to remove the Chinese from their district, and created new tensions among local, state, and federal public health officials quarreling over the presence of the deadly disease. Risse's rich, nuanced narrative of the event draws from a variety of sources, including Chinese-language reports and accounts. He addresses the ecology of Chinatown, the approaches taken by Chinese and Western medical practitioners, and the effects of quarantine plans on Chinatown and its residents. Risse explains how plague threatened California’s agricultural economy and San Francisco’s leading commercial role with Asia, discusses why it brought on a wave of fear mongering that drove perceptions and intervention efforts, and describes how Chinese residents organized and successfully opposed government quarantines and evacuation plans in federal court. By probing public health interventions in the setting of one of the most visible ethnic communities in United States history, Plague, Fear, and Politics in San Francisco’s Chinatown offers insight into the clash of Eastern and Western cultures in a time of medical emergency.

Now available as a paperback (8.5"x10"), Ruben V. Nepales' "Through a Writer's Lens" was originally released as a limited hardbound edition. Those coffee table book (12"x14") copies quickly sold out. Acclaimed by media, "Through a Writer's Lens" is a 254-page compilation of award-winning photojournalist Nepales' often candid snapshots of the Hollywood stars he has interviewed. This is a must-have book of more than 1,000 photos of stars that he took in almost two decades. The book is published by Bessie Badilla, also the art designer and layout artist. Based in Los Angeles, Nepales won honors from the National Entertainment Journalism Awards and the Southern California Journalism Awards, both presented by the Los Angeles Press Club. Each of the 200-plus top talents, from Angelina Jolie, Oprah Winfrey, Jennifer Lopez, Kristen Stewart, Darren Criss to Robert Pattinson, included in the tome has a memorable quote culled from Nepales' columns of these stars. Also a passionate advocate of the Filipino and Filipino-American talent, Nepales spotlighted in the book Lea Salonga, Hailee Steinfeld, Jon Jon Briones, Vanessa Hudgens, Nico Santos, Reggie Lee and Vincent Rodriguez III; filmmakers Lav Diaz, Brillante Mendoza and Ramona Diaz; cinematographer Matthew Libatique; songwriter Robert Lopez; animators Ronnie del Carmen and Paul Abadilla; and more. "Through a Writer's Lens" is Nepales' second book, following his 2012 book, "My Filipino Connection: The Philippines in Hollywood," which won in the print journalism - book category of the Migration Advocacy and Media Awards presented by the Office of the President of the Philippines' Commission on Filipinos Overseas. In August 2020, Rappler, the Philippines' leading news website, became the new home of Nepales' beloved column, "Only IN Hollywood." Media praise for "Through a Writer's Lens": "This book is a great showcase for the photography and reporting talents of Ruben Nepales. With both, he finds the perfect moment to showcase these individuals, and Hollywood in general." Tim Gray, Variety "A stunning collection of works, both photographic and textual." Nestor Cuartero, Manila Bulletin "Behind these celebrity revelations in pictures and words, this book spotlights what is obvious - Ruben is a superb interviewer with that most sought after skill: the ability to make his subjects feel relaxed and safe in his presence, the better to draw out their real selves." Gemma Nemenzo, Positively Filipino "Beautiful...The photos themselves offer a different, more casual side of the stars." Momar Visaya, Asian Journal "Unwitting snapshots, cinematic quotes..." Emmie Velarde, Rappler "Gorgeous...It is this homegrown sensitivity and time-honed artistic impulse that have enabled Ruben to catch Meryl Streep in a seldom-seen playful mood, visually immortalize the delightful raconteurs concealed by Ian McKellen and Judi Dench's much-revered screen personas, and bring out the natural charisma that makes George Clooney, Michael Fassbender and Oscar Isaac tick."

Every day thousands of people are killed and injured on our roads.

Current efforts to address road safety are minimal in comparison to this growing human suffering. This report presents a comprehensive overview of what is known about the magnitude, risk factors and impact of road traffic injuries, and about ways to prevent and lessen the impact of road crashes. Over 100 experts, from all continents and different sectors -- including transport, engineering, health, police, education and civil society -- have worked to produce the report. Charts and tables.
