AMANDINA HAD EVERY TALENT MADE FOR THE STAGE, EXCEPT ONE: Confidence.
She dances, sings, acts, and performs acrobatics, but no one knows because Amandina is terribly shy. Determined to change that, she rents a run-down theater and prepares to give the show of her life. She builds the sets, makes the costumes, and, most importantly, invites everyone in town. When the night of the big performance comes, Amandina nervously opens the curtains…to find all of the chairs empty. Disheartened, she performs anyway, not realizing that she does have an audience member—a very tiny one—who is about to make a big difference in Amandina’s life.

Seller: World of Books (was SecondSale), Montgomery, IL, U.S.A.
Hardback. Condition: Good. In early 2020, the emergence of the COVID-19 shook the globe. Quickly the world began to search history for lessons from past pandemics, and to compare the experience of COVID in different countries. This volume of Contemporary Austrian Studies is a part of these efforts, dedicated to exploring aspects of the history of epidemic disease in Austria, as well as the peculiarities of the Austrian experience of COVID-19. The essays consider earlier pandemics such as smallpox, Spanish flu, polio, typhus, and HIV-AIDS in an Austrian context. They also analyze facets of the Austrian societal response to the SARS-Cov-2 virus. Taken together, the research demonstrates how the study of disease yields important insights into the workings of Austrian society. It also serves as a reminder of the inseparability of nature and human affairs, and of the importance of a robust, global public health system to bolster societal resilience going forward.
