Antibiotic Resistance Rise

Ursula Brightonstar

Sinopsis

"Antibiotic Resistance Rise" tackles one of modern medicine's most critical challenges: the growing ineffectiveness of antibiotics against bacterial infections. The book expertly weaves together three fundamental themes: the biological mechanisms of bacterial resistance, human behaviors accelerating this crisis, and the urgent need for global collaboration to combat this threat.

 
Through a careful examination of WHO surveillance data and clinical studies, it reveals alarming patterns of resistance development across different bacterial species and geographical regions. The narrative begins with a historical perspective on antibiotics, from the discovery of penicillin to our current predicament, before delving into the complex interplay between healthcare practices, agricultural use, and policy decisions that have contributed to this crisis.

 
Drawing from extensive peer-reviewed research and epidemiological studies, the book presents compelling evidence of how antimicrobial resistance threatens to undermine decades of medical progress. Case studies from various healthcare settings worldwide provide concrete examples of both successful and failed resistance management strategies.

 
What sets this work apart is its comprehensive approach to addressing solutions, combining technical insights with practical applications for healthcare providers, policymakers, and the public. The book progresses logically from understanding resistance mechanisms at the cellular level to exploring broader societal impacts and proposing actionable solutions. It serves as both a warning about the consequences of inaction and a roadmap for addressing this global health challenge through improved antibiotic stewardship and coordinated international efforts.

The Shortest History of AI - The...

Toby Walsh

Since Alan Turing first posed the question "Can machines think?" artificial intelligence has evolved from a speculative idea to a transformative force. The Shortest History of AI traces this evolution, from Ada Lovelace's visionary work to IBM's groundbreaking defeat of the chess world champion and the revolutionary emergence of ChatGPT. It also explores AI's cultural journey, touching on classics such as Frankenstein, A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and 2001: A Space Odyssey. 
 
Revealing how many "overnight" successes were decades in the making, this accessible and illuminating book helps us to understand how AI functions by explaining the six key ideas that animate it: it searches for answers using predetermined symbols and means-end analysis; it bases its answers on what sort of response it thinks it will get; it follows a set of rules in order to simulate human expertise; it copies the human brain by learning from experience; it uses reinforcement learning, rewarding its own successes and punishing itself for its failures; and it uses Bayes' theorem to calculate the probability of a cause based on its effect. 
 
Fast-paced and rich with facts, The Shortest History of AI equips listeners to understand where we've been—and where we're headed.

Dark and Magical Places - The...

Christopher Kemp

Inside our heads we carry around an infinite and endlessly unfolding map of the world. Navigation is one of the most ancient neural abilities we have—older than language. In Dark and Magical Places, Christopher Kemp embarks on a journey to discover the remarkable extent of what our minds can do. 
 
 
 
Fueled by his own spatial shortcomings, Kemp describes the brain regions that orient us in space and the specialized neurons that do it. Place cells. Grid cells. He examines how the brain plans routes, recognizes landmarks, and makes sure we leave a room through a door instead of trying to leave through a painting. From the secrets of supernavigators like the indigenous hunters of the Bolivian rainforest to the confusing environments inhabited by people with place blindness, Kemp charts the myriad ways in which we find our way and explains the cutting-edge neuroscience behind them. 
 
 
 
How did Neanderthals navigate? Why do even seasoned hikers stray from the trail? What spatial skills do we inherit from our parents? How can smartphones and our reliance on GPS devices impact our brains? In engaging, engrossing language, Kemp unravels the mysteries of navigating and links the brain's complex functions to the effects that diseases like Alzheimer's, types of amnesia, and traumatic brain injuries have on our perception of the world around us.

Mysterious Ball Lightning - Also...

Martin K. Ettington

Ball Lightning — one of nature’s most astonishing enigmas is a phenomena which definitely exists. One European study counted over 5,000 sightings that ignite both wonder and scientific curiosity of these weird balls. 
It also seems to be similar to old tales of the “Will O the Wisp” and World War Two Foo Fighters. 
St. Elmos Fire also has similar observations so data on this phenomenon that dazzles scientists, baffled yet intrigued and mystics alike are included too. 
There are many potential explanations but none are confirmed. Although most seem to appear around thunderstorms this is not always the case. 
My own belief is that these objects are controlled by some type of intelligence and we will discuss reasons for this later in the book. 
In this book you will read a lot of background information and sightings that ignite both wonder and scientific curiosity stories by persons for the last hundreds of years. 
This is just another mystery in our strange world which cries out for more investigation.
