Summary

Microbial Resistance is a comprehensive exploration of the escalating crisis of antibiotic resistance, often resulting in "superbugs." It investigates how bacteria evolve to withstand our most powerful drugs, a phenomenon driven by factors like antibiotic overuse and horizontal gene transfer, where resistance genes spread rapidly among bacterial populations. This resistance poses a significant threat to public health, impacting routine medical procedures and the treatment of severe infections. The book delves into the genetic mechanisms that enable bacteria to resist antibiotics, such as enzymatic inactivation and target modification. It also highlights the increasing role of genomics in understanding and tracking the spread of resistance. The book examines the history of antibiotic use and the social and economic factors that contribute to the problem, advocating for a multifaceted approach that integrates insights from microbiology, public health, and policy.

 
The structure of the book progresses logically, beginning with fundamental principles of bacterial genetics and antibiotic action. It systematically explores resistance mechanisms, the spread of resistance genes, and the factors driving the selection of resistant bacteria. Finally, it discusses current strategies for combating resistance, including antibiotic stewardship and novel therapies, while addressing controversies like antibiotic use in agriculture.

River of Lakes - A Journey on...

Bill Belleville

First explored by naturalist William Bartram in the 1760s, the St. Johns River stretches 310 miles along Florida's east coast, making it the longest river in the state. The first "highway" through the once wild interior of Florida, the St. Johns may appear ordinary, but within its banks are some of the most fascinating natural phenomena and historic mysteries in the state. The river, no longer the commercial resource it once was, is now largely ignored by Florida's residents and visitors alike. 
 
 
 
In the first contemporary book about this American Heritage River, Bill Belleville describes his journey down the length of the St. Johns, kayaking, boating, hiking its riverbanks, diving its springs, and exploring its underwater caves. He rediscovers the natural Florida and establishes his connection with a place once loved for its untamed beauty. Belleville involves scientists, environmentalists, fishermen, cave divers, and folk historians in his journey, soliciting their companionship and their expertise. River of Lakes weaves together the biological, cultural, anthropological, archaeological, and ecological aspects of the St. Johns, capturing the essence of its remarkable history and intrinsic value as a natural wonder.
