Beschreibung

Fighting Resistant Bacteria addresses the urgent global challenge of antibiotic resistance, where common infections are becoming increasingly difficult to treat. The book explores the scientific basis of resistance, global efforts to control its spread, and innovative therapeutic approaches.

 
Did you know that the overuse of antibiotics in human medicine and agriculture significantly contributes to this problem, accelerating the evolution of resistant bacteria through mechanisms like horizontal gene transfer? This book emphasizes a multi-pronged, globally coordinated approach involving surveillance, stewardship, and infection prevention.

 
The book is structured into three parts: understanding the science of resistance, examining intervention strategies, and exploring novel solutions. It details global action plans from organizations like the WHO and CDC.

 
What makes this book unique is its integrated perspective, combining the scientific underpinnings of resistance with practical intervention strategies and forward-looking solutions, bridging bacteriology, public health, and policy. With its clear and accessible style, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding and combating this critical public health threat.

Cull of the Wild - Killing in...

Hugh Warwick

Across the world, invasive species pose a danger to ecosystems. The UN Convention on Biological Diversity ranks them as a major threat to biodiversity on par with habitat loss, climate change, and pollution. Tackling this isn't easy, and no one knows this better than Hugh Warwick, a conservationist who loathes the idea of killing, harming, or even eating animals. Yet as an ecologist, he is acutely aware of the need, at times, to kill invasive species whose presence harms the wider environment. 
 
 
 
Hugh explores the complex history of species control, revealing the global movement of species and the impacts of their presence. Combining scientific theory with gentle humor in his signature style, he explains the issues conservationists face to control non-native animals and protect native species—including grey and red squirrels on Anglesey, ravens and tortoises in the Mojave Desert, cane toads in Australia, and the smooth-billed ani on the Galapagos—and describes cases like Pablo Escobar's cocaine hippos and the Burmese python pet trade. 
 
 
 
Taking a balanced and open approach to this emotive subject, Hugh speaks to experts on all sides of the debate. How do we protect endangered native species? Which species do we prioritize? And how do we reckon with the ethics of killing anything in the name of conservation?

Ain't No Place for a Hero:...

Kaitlin Tremblay

A deep dive into the groundbreaking and bestselling video game series The critically acclaimed first-person shooter franchise Borderlands knows it’s ridiculous. It’s a badge of pride. After all, Borderlands 2 was promoted with the tagline “87 bazillion guns just got bazillionder.” These space-western games encourage you to shoot a lot of enemies and monsters, loot their corpses, and have a few chuckles while chasing down those bazillion guns.  
 
As Kaitlin Tremblay explores in Ain’t No Place for a Hero, the Borderlands video game series satirizes its own genre, exposing and addressing the ways first-person shooter video games have tended to exclude women, queer people, and people of colour, as well as contribute to a hostile playing environment. Tremblay also digs in to the way the Borderlands game franchise ― which has sold more than 26 million copies ― disrupts traditional notions of heroism, creating nuanced and compelling storytelling that highlights the strengths and possibilities of this relatively new narrative medium.  
 
The latest entry in the acclaimed Pop Classics series, Ain’t No Place for a Hero is a fascinating read for Borderlands devotees as well as the uninitiated.

Agile Transformation with an Agile Coaching Mindset: Moving to agile software development.
Coaching, Agile Coaching, Transformation, Agile Transformation, Agile Coach, Transformation Coach…. Lots of combinations we hear in everyday life. We are discussing agile transformation here. The approach we follow in this training is “Agile Transformation with an Agile Coaching Mindset”.
The dictionary meaning for agile is "able to move quickly and easily". Also, a much talked about attribute of agile is flexibility, ability to respond to changes.
How agile can an “agile transformation be"? In our approach, we believe the transformation itself must be agile. It must be an empirical process with an adaptive plan, which is flexible enough to accommodate new learnings accrued during the transformation journey. We keep improving every moment, and the agility evolves as we progress through this journey.
We believe in “Agile Transformation with an Agile Coaching Mindset”.
Let’s try to list down various phases a typical transformation journey goes through. These steps are negotiable. Based on the organization, team, and environment, these steps may change, be replaced, or be removed. The team may go through phases like…
Understand the Organisation, Culture, and Practices; Understand the drivers and set goals; Define Road map; Make Agile visible; Establish Agile training; Align Organisation structure and high-level processes; Start with Agile Practices; Team level transformation; Inspect and Adapt.
There is not any specific order for executing many of these steps in our journey. These may even go in parallel or in a different order based on the situation. This book discusses each phase in detail.

The Little Book of Data -...

Justin Evans

Read by the author.  
Data is not about number crunching. It’s about ideas. And when used properly (read: ethically), it is the problem solver of our time. 
Yet many savvy people seem to be in data denial: they don’t think they need to understand data, or it’s too complicated, or worse, using it is somehow unethical. Yet as data and AI (just an accelerated way to put data to work) move to the center of professional and civic life, every professional and citizen needs to harness this power. 
In The Little Book of Data, each chapter illustrates one of the core principles of solving problems with data by featuring an expert who has solved a big problem with data—from the entrepreneur creating a “loneliness score” to the epidemiologist trying to save lives by finding disease “hotspots.” 
The stories are told in a fast-moving, vivid, sometimes comic style, and cover a wide frame of reference from adtech to climate tech, the bubonic plague, tiny submarines, genomics, railroads, bond ratings, and meat grading. (That’s right. Meat.) 
Along the way Evans injects lessons from his own career journey and offers practical thought-starters for readers to apply to their own organizations. 
By reading The Little Book of Data, you will achieve the fluency to apply your data superpowers to your own mission and challenges—and you will have fun along the way. 
You will be, in other words, a data person.
