Microbial Resistance

Translator A AI

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.

The Planet You Inherit - Letters...

Larry L. Rasmussen

For the first time ever, love letters consciously written by elders of one geologic epoch to the young of another. 
 
 
 
Our children's and grandchildren's generation will face a different world, one affected by climate instability, mass uncertainty, and breathtaking extinction. In fact, the next generation will face the reality that human activity is changing the planet from one geological epoch to another. 
 
 
 
From this vantage point—two generations across two geological epochs facing a fundamentally changing planet—Larry Rasmussen writes to his grandchildren. As a grandfather invested in a green earth and climate justice as well as a scholar of faith-based earth ethics, Rasmussen bridges this gap between generations to write to the future about climate change, global citizenship, democracy, and legacy. In topics ranging from "A Viable Way of Life" and "Democracy" to "Where We've Come From" and "Who We Are Now," Rasmussen explores the large questions of justice, meaning, and faith, encouraging us to speak to and look to the future generation and their future world.

Weather Science - How...

Brian Clegg

Everyone has an interest in the weather, whether it's to check the prospects for a day out or to know when best to harvest a crop. The Earth's weather systems also provide some of the most dramatic forces of nature, from the vast release of energy in a lightning flash to the devastating impact of tornadoes and hurricanes. 
 
For centuries, our only real guide to future weather was folklore, but with the introduction of the first weather forecasts and maps in Victorian times, attempts were made to give some warning of the weather to come. Until relatively recently, these forecasts could be wildly inaccurate - think of Michael Fish's denial that there was a storm on the way the night before the UK's great storm of 1987. This was due to the mathematically chaotic nature of weather systems, first discovered in the 1960s, the understanding of which would transform forecasting from the 1990s and mean that meteorologists became some of the foremost users of supercomputers. 
 
From the crystalline perfection of the snowflake to the transfer of energy from the Sun, science lies at the heart of the weather and our understanding of it. In recent years, weather science has moved to the leading edge with advanced modelling, versatile use of satellite data and a better understanding of mathematical chaos. This is a true example of hot science at work.
