Introduction  In a previous article (The Four Horsemen - Part 2: Pestilence), we discussed the risk of outbreaks of deadly infectious disease, whether natural in origin or the result of biological warfare or terrorism. They could be familiar and treatable strains, naturally occurring mutations, or engineered microbes known to have a high case ...

Introduction We grew up during the Cold War (the long standoff between the US and USSR superpowers and their respective alliances) under the constant background threat of nuclear war. We didn't necessarily understand it very well - even the military, academic, and scientific communities did not - but it was a constant presence in our lives. Since t...

One side recognizes the individual's rights and wants to be left alone adopting a live and let live attitude, the other side recognizes only the group and demands you become part ...

When we started writing on the theme of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, we intended to address only the first three: War, Pestilence, and Famine. What is to be said concerning the fourth: Death?
