    Treat Chronic Pain Yourself-Anytime, Anywhere 
If you suffer from chronic, debilitating pain, surgery and other invasive measures aren't your only options. What many people don't know is that pain is often referred from other areas of the body, sometimes far away from the place where the discomfort is actually felt. Trigger point therapy is often used by physical and massage therapists to relieve this hard-to-treat pain. Now, you can begin using this powerful method on your own to start feeling better right away. 
This workbook will help you identify the source of your pain by addressing the problem of myofascial trigger points-tiny contraction knots that develop in a muscle when it is injured or overworked, resulting in chronic pain. Trigger point massage increases circulation at the site of the problem and can provide lasting relief.

 Dozens of new illustrations for self-treatment

    In recent decades we have come to realize that the microbial world is hugely diverse, and can be found in the most extreme environments. Fungi, single-celled protists, bacteria, archaea, and the vast array of viruses and sub-viral particles far outnumber plants and animals. Microbes, we now know, play a critical role in ecosystems, in the chemistry of atmosphere and oceans, and within our bodies. The field of microbiology, armed with new techniques from molecular biology, is now one of the most vibrant in the life sciences. 
 
In this Very Short Introduction Nicholas P. Money explores not only the traditional methods of microscopy and laboratory culture but also the modern techniques of genetic detection and DNA sequencing, genomic analysis, and genetic manipulation. In turn he demonstrates how advances in microbiology have had a tremendous impact on the areas of medicine, agriculture, and biotechnology.
