Foodborne Illnesses explores the significant threat of diseases caused by contaminated food, highlighting how bacteria, viruses, and other biological hazards infiltrate our food supply. Addressing a critical public health issue, the book emphasizes proactive prevention strategies, arguing that these are more effective than reactive measures in curbing outbreaks and long-term health consequences. Readers gain insights into identifying major microbial hazards, understanding their mechanisms, and applying prevention methods across food production stages.

The book systematically builds understanding, starting with the historical context of foodborne pathogens and progressing to specific illnesses categorized by causative agents. It then examines preventive measures, such as proper food handling and storage, before discussing emerging threats and the role of new technologies.

 
A unique aspect is its risk-based approach, empowering readers to assess and manage risks specific to different foods and settings. By adopting a clear, fact-based style, Foodborne Illnesses offers actionable knowledge, making it valuable for students, professionals, and consumers seeking to improve food safety.

Crystal Fire - The Birth of the...

Michael Riordan, Lillian Hoddeson

On December 16, 1947, two physicists at Bell Laboratories, John Bardeen and Walter Brattain, jabbed two electrodes into a sliver of germanium half an inch long. The electrical power coming out of that piece of germanium was 100 times stronger than what went in. In that moment, the transistor was invented and the information age began. 
 Crystal Fire recounts the story of the transistor team at Bell Labs, led by William Shockley, who shared the Nobel Prize with Bardeen and Brattain. While his colleagues went on to other research, Shockley grew increasingly obsessed with the new gadget. He went on to form the first semiconductor company in what would become Silicon Valley. 
Above all, Crystal Fire is a tale of the human factors in technology: the pride and jealousies coupled with scientific and economic aspirations that led to the creation of modern microelectronics and ignited the greatest technological explosion in history.
