Summary

Antimicrobial Filter Coatings addresses the pressing issue of microbial contamination in filters across various sectors, from water purification to medical devices. It delves into the application and effectiveness of silver, copper, and enzymatic coatings to combat microbial colonization. Intriguingly, traditional filters, while removing particles, often fail to prevent microbial growth, leading to biofilm formation. Furthermore, the book considers the potential toxicity of silver-based coatings alongside their broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties, and examines how copper treatments can target specific pathogens. 

 
The book presents a comprehensive overview, starting with the fundamentals of microbial adhesion and the action mechanisms of the antimicrobial agents. It then dedicates individual chapters to analyzing each coating type, including synthesis and application. Case studies highlight real-world applications. This approach bridges microbiology with materials science and chemical engineering, offering a holistic perspective on microbial contamination. It is particularly valuable as it offers a comparative analysis of silver, copper, and enzymatic treatments, guiding the reader through the selection and implementation of these coatings for specific needs.

    An immersive history of our coasts and the people who have shaped them 
    The coast means something different to everyone. 
    It’s a place of pleasure and reckless pursuits, of fishing, fearless endeavours and a crashing, rugged beauty. The coast is, and always has been, our first line of defence and our springboard to other cultures. 
    Through the lens of 100 carefully selected objects, this treasure chest of a book delves into the myriad ways our coastlines have shaped, and been shaped by, our history, culture, and identity. From Roman lighthouses to rosary beads, knitted jumpers to Viking slave shackles, each object serves as a portal to a unique story. 
    Sally Coulthard’s engaging narrative goes far beyond the traditional seaside holiday to illuminate the coast’s role as a first line of defence, a site of trade, and a catalyst for cultural exchange. Readers will discover how the coast has influenced our beliefs, economy, and even our domestic lives. And, looking out to sea, this book will show how Britain’s story is anchored to those of our European neighbours and of faraway lands. 
    From one of Britain’s finest historians of material culture, this book vividly captures the enduring magic and significance of our shores. Whether it’s smugglers’ underpants or sailor’s hoaxes, whale vomit or pickled puffin – it all washes up on the British coast…

    The Paris Accords, widely accepted as the key to solving today's climate crisis, set a goal of zero net carbon emissions by 2050. But that's not good enough. The only way to guarantee a livable future is climate restoration, which can reduce greenhouse gases to historic levels. Scientist and entrepreneur Peter Fiekowsky explains the technology and maps a practical path that will let humankind survive and thrive. 
     
     
     
    As Fiekowsky explains in Climate Restoration, this will require removing a trillion tons of excess CO2 from the atmosphere. The good news is that this task, while enormous and technically challenging, is eminently feasible. Scientists and engineers have developed four major technologies for greenhouse gas removal and storage: ocean iron fertilization; synthetic limestone manufacture; seaweed permaculture; and methane oxidation. 
     
     
     
    Fiekowsky shows that these technologies are safe and practical—and, even more remarkable, that they require little if any government funding, since they can be financed largely through existing markets. For these reasons, they have enormous promise as vehicles for achieving climate restoration. With the global climate crisis continuing to spiral out of control, the time for tough conversations about what it will really take to create a healthy future for humanity is here.

    Do you suffer from back, knee, or neck pain, migraines arthritis, fibromyalgia, or any other condition that causes chronic discomfort? Have you searched far and wide for answers only to find yourself disappointed and in pain again? This discouraging cycle can be as damaging to your quality of life as the pain itself.

It's time to leverage the natural power and flexibility of your brain, so you can finally free yourself from chronic pain and take charge of your life. 
     
     
     
    At the heart of this groundbreaking workbook is pain reprocessing therapy (PRT)—the most effective current treatment for chronic pain. PRT is a highly streamlined, evidence-based method that actually retrains the brain to accurately interpret sensory signals from the body, interrupting the perpetual pain cycle so you can find some relief. You'll begin by exploring the ins and outs of how pain works, with special emphasis on understanding the critical relationship between pain and fear. 
     
     
     
    If your quest for relief has led to nothing but frustration, shame, stigmatization, and endless agony, the answers found in this friendly guide will illuminate a path away from pain and toward lasting comfort and peace of mind. Go ahead, take the first step.
