LAS Fellow Dr Austin Mardon has published two new health-education volumes in 2026: Understanding Diabetes and Understanding Alzheimer's Disease. The books were issued by Mercury Learning and Information and are presented through De Gruyter Brill's publishing platform.
The two titles address major areas of public-health knowledge. Diabetes affects health systems and families worldwide, while Alzheimer's disease raises complex questions about ageing, care, communication and support. Accessible educational writing can help readers approach these subjects with clearer terminology and a stronger foundation for further learning.
Dr Mardon's wider body of work includes science communication, mental-health advocacy, disability awareness and public education. These new volumes continue that emphasis on making technical and health-related subjects more approachable to students and general readers.
For Liberia, where trusted and understandable health information remains important to prevention, caregiving and community resilience, publications of this kind underline the value of connecting science with the public.LAS congratulates Dr Mardon on the new books and welcomes their contribution to health education and public understanding of science.
