Synopsis

Hospital Infection Connection explores the surprising link between antibacterial detergents in hospitals and the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, or "superbugs". It questions whether the prevalent use of these detergents, intended to combat infection, may inadvertently be fueling the problem. The book provides a comprehensive overview of how bacteria develop resistance, examining the impact of detergent use in hospitals and discussing potential, more effective strategies. The book reveals how antibacterial detergents exert selective pressure on bacterial populations, potentially driving the emergence of resistant strains, and challenges the assumption that "cleaner is always better." It argues for a more nuanced, evidence-based approach to hospital hygiene, integrating insights from infectious diseases, public health, and evolutionary biology. Beginning with the history of antibacterial use and the development of resistance, the book progresses across three sections: detailing the mechanisms of antibacterial agents, analyzing healthcare studies linking detergent use to resistant infections, and exploring alternative infection control strategies. It provides a balanced review of current practices to improve public health and offer pragmatic alternatives, making it a valuable resource for healthcare professionals and policymakers.

    THE FUTURE OF TRUTH (AND HOW TO GET THERE) 
    Lindley's groundbreaking book explains misinformation, disinformation, why we've fallen so hard for them both, and how every one of us can fight back. 
    We need to talk about 'the truth'. We receive huge amounts of information packed into the stories that we see, hear and read. They change our minds. They cast doubt, divide us and have got us into so much trouble. But there really is hope. 
    The Future of Truth (and How to Get There) unmasks the tell-tale signs that manipulation has left behind, building up an essential toolkit to help us all to stop, step back from and sidestep false information and fake news wherever we find it.

    How farmer's markets and organic produce became synonymous with "good food" and why they shouldn't be.
       
    How did farmer's markets, nose-to-tail, locavorism, organic eating, CSAs, whole foods, and Whole Foods become synonymous with “good food”? And are these practices really producing food that is morally, environmentally, or economically sustainable? Rebecca Tucker's compelling, reported argument shows that we must work to undo the moral coding that we use to interpret how we come by what we put on our plates. She investigates not only the danger of the accepted rhetoric, but the innovative work happening on farms and university campuses to create a future where nutritious food is climate-change resilient, hardy enough to grow season after season, and, most importantly, available to all—not just those willing or able to fork over the small fortune required for a perfect heirloom tomato.
       
    Tucker argues that arriving at that future will require a broad cognitive shift away from the idea that farmer's markets, community gardens, and organic food production is the only sustainable way forward; more than that, it will require the commitment of research firms, governments, corporations, and post-secondary institutions to develop and implement agri­science innovations that do more than improve the bottom line. A Matter of Taste asks us to rethink what good food really is.
