Summary

Antibiotic resistance is a growing global health crisis threatening our ability to treat common infections. Antibiotic Resistance Threat explores the origins, mechanisms, and impact of resistant bacteria, highlighting the urgent need for action. A key insight is how bacteria develop resistance through genetic mutations, enabling them to evade the effects of antibiotics. Factors such as antibiotic overuse in both human medicine and agriculture significantly accelerate the spread of these resistant strains, leading to increased healthcare costs and potentially untreatable infections.

 
The book adopts a comprehensive approach, beginning with the history of antibiotics and basic microbiology. It then delves into the mechanisms of resistance and the epidemiology of resistant infections, examining their prevalence in different regions. A significant portion is dedicated to analyzing potential solutions, like antibiotic stewardship programs, and the development of novel therapies.

 
This evidence-based analysis, drawing from medical research and public health data, separates facts from speculation, providing actionable recommendations for healthcare professionals, policymakers, and concerned citizens.

    Eating disorders are serious conditions that can be hard to treat; however, the chances of overcoming an eating disorder increase when exposure therapy is used as part of the overall treatment strategy. Exposure therapy involves confronting (rather than avoiding) challenging scenarios that evoke distress, and though this technique has typically been used mainly by psychotherapists, people struggling with eating disorders can use it on their own to reduce troubling eating behaviors. Eat Without Fear provides practical, accessible information about this innovative, scientifically-supported approach, as well as guidance on how to apply it effectively to beat an eating disorder using a "team approach" that involves family members, friends, and other loved ones. Listeners will benefit from the use of easy-to-understand language describing the key concepts of eating disorders and how exposure therapy can help treat them. Additionally, the book guides listeners through therapeutic activities that enable them to effectively practice exposure therapy techniques on their own. Given the value of involving family members and other supportive people in the eating disorder recovery process, this book encourages collaboration between listeners and their loved ones and offers practical suggestions for how they can work together to achieve their desired goals.

    Mobilised by the rousing words and protests of Greta Thunberg, young people all over the globe are calling for more action to combat climate change and better protect their futures. Yet they cannot do this alone. They are reliant on people in positions of power to set the necessary changes in motion - and these people include their own school leaders operating within their own local communities.This book is a rallying cry for all schools to unleash their potential to deliver a brighter future for both their pupils and society at large.David Dixon draws on both his doctoral research and his 20 years' experience as a head teacher to set out how school leaders can embed eco-friendly practices in the day-to-day running of their schools that will also contribute to overall school improvement, including that recognised by inspectors.David weaves his guidance around the 'five Cs of sustainability' - captaincy, curriculum, campus, community and connections - to position sustainability as a natural vehicle for developing a type of fully integrated learning ecology and culture for the benefit of all.The book provides a detailed analysis of where we are now in terms of environmental impact, and lays out a road map to help schools move towards more effective eco-friendly provision. It shares practical examples of sustainability in schools and how these contribute to school improvement in the wider, more conventional sense too. Furthermore, each chapter concludes with a series of suggested strategies to encourage further thought and discussions among school stakeholders.Suitable for school leaders, teachers and teacher trainers - in both primary and secondary settings - and for any professionals who work in schools on environmental education or improvement projects.
