Antibiotics in Food

Summary

Antibiotics in Food investigates the widespread use of antibiotics in agriculture and its impact on public health, focusing on how this practice fuels antibiotic resistance. The book explores the drivers behind antibiotic use in food production, the rise of resistant bacteria, and potential mitigation strategies. A key insight is how agricultural antibiotic use, initially adopted post-World War II to boost livestock growth, directly diminishes the effectiveness of antibiotics in treating human infections, threatening our ability to combat diseases.

The book argues that routine, non-therapeutic antibiotic use in agriculture significantly contributes to the global antibiotic resistance crisis, necessitating urgent interventions. It thoroughly examines the economic and social factors incentivizing antibiotic use, the scientific evidence linking agricultural practices to the spread of resistant bacteria to humans, and the effects of resistant infections on human health, such as increased healthcare costs. It then proposes solutions like policy changes and alternative farming practices.

Structured to guide readers through the issue's complexities, the book begins with fundamental concepts of antibiotic resistance and its mechanisms. It then examines the role of agriculture, covering areas such as livestock farming and aquaculture. The book concludes by presenting potential solutions and discussing practical implications for consumers, policymakers, and the agricultural industry.

ADHD - Understanding the...

Valerie Vogue

In this special deal, you get 2 books about ADHD, which are: 
ADHD and Impulsivity - For individuals with ADHD, impulsivity is not merely a matter of poor decision-making—it is deeply rooted in the neurological underpinnings of the condition. The brain’s inability to regulate certain executive functions, such as impulse control, makes it harder for individuals to pause and think before acting. This can result in a range of consequences, from minor mishaps to more significant interpersonal or professional challenges. However, understanding the science behind impulsivity is only part of the equation. Recognizing how these impulses affect daily life and learning how to manage them is crucial for building a healthier, more balanced existence. 
ADHD in School - In the classroom setting, ADHD can present a variety of challenges for both students and educators. Children with ADHD often struggle to stay focused on tasks, follow instructions, and maintain organizational systems. Their difficulty with impulse control can lead to frequent interruptions, inappropriate behaviors, and challenges in completing assignments. These behaviors are often misinterpreted as laziness, defiance, or a lack of intelligence, leading to frustration and misunderstanding for both the student and teacher.
