  'Unlike me, the Atlantic wild salmon does not have a voice, so it cannot tell the story of why and how it has been driven to the point of extinction.'
  Once, the River Shannon was teeming with wild salmon swimming upstream. But when the enormous hydro-electric station at Ardnacrusha was built in 1929, what began as the Free State's crowning achievement would have a devastating impact on the environment.
  In this evocative and thought-provoking memoir, Patsy Peril recalls a life deeply entwined with Irish wildlife and embedded in the history of modern Ireland. From a childhood spent on the water to a national conservation campaign, Patsy has a lifetime of knowledge to share about the wild Atlantic salmon – and a plan to save it.

  Infectious diseases have long been a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with their impact felt in both developed and developing countries. These diseases are caused by harmful microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites, which invade the body and disrupt normal functions. The nature of infectious diseases varies widely, from the mild common cold to severe and life-threatening conditions such as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and COVID-19. Understanding the factors that contribute to the spread of infections, the mechanisms through which they affect the body, and the ways to diagnose, treat, and prevent them is vital for public health efforts and individual well-being. 
  The transmission of infectious diseases can occur through various routes, including direct contact with infected individuals, airborne transmission, contaminated food and water, and vector-borne transmission through insects. The ease with which infectious diseases spread makes them a persistent global concern, particularly in areas with limited access to healthcare, sanitation, and clean water. Environmental factors such as climate change, urbanization, and population movement further exacerbate the spread of diseases, often leading to epidemics and pandemics. 
  Advancements in medical science and public health have enabled significant progress in diagnosing and treating infectious diseases. Early detection through diagnostic tools such as laboratory testing and imaging allows for more targeted interventions. In addition to traditional treatments, the development of vaccines has revolutionized disease prevention, providing immunity against some of the most dangerous pathogens. However, challenges such as antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and emerging infectious diseases continue to pose threats to global health, necessitating ongoing research and innovation in both treatment and prevention strategies.
