Synopsis

Virus Facts explores the intricate world of virology, providing a comprehensive overview of viruses, their mechanisms, and our defenses against them. It explores how these microscopic entities, smaller than bacteria, have shaped human history through outbreaks like the Spanish Flu and COVID-19. The book emphasizes the importance of understanding viral infection mechanisms, the pathogenesis of viral diseases, and the science behind vaccines, highlighting how viruses invade cells, replicate, and spread.

 
The book explains how a detailed knowledge of virology is crucial for developing effective strategies to prevent and treat viral diseases. It begins with the basic structure and classification of viruses, then delves into how viruses attach to host cells and replicate within them. It explores specific viral diseases, examining symptoms, transmission, and pathogenesis.

 
Finally, it examines how vaccines stimulate the immune system, detailing how this knowledge can be applied to antiviral drug development and public health strategies. Virus Facts connects to other fields like immunology and public health, presenting complex concepts in an accessible manner. It is intended for a broad audience, from students to scientifically-minded individuals, offering a valuable resource for understanding how viruses affect our lives and how we can protect ourselves from their harmful effects.

  • Pollution - The Environmental Crisis That Threatens Our Health - cover

    Pollution - The Environmental...

    Pollution is a pervasive and urgent global issue that affects every corner of the planet, from the air we breathe to the water we drink and the land we depend on for survival. Over the past century, the rapid pace of industrialization, urbanization, and population growth has contributed significantly to environmental degradation. What was once seen as the price of progress has now become a formidable challenge that threatens the health of humans, animals, and ecosystems alike.  
      
    The scope of pollution is vast and multifaceted. It encompasses a wide range of pollutants, including chemicals, plastics, heavy metals, and greenhouse gases, which infiltrate the air, water, and soil. While air pollution from vehicle emissions and industrial activities poses immediate health risks, water pollution contaminates vital freshwater resources, threatening marine ecosystems and human livelihoods. Land pollution, driven by improper waste disposal and deforestation, further exacerbates the crisis by depleting soil fertility and destroying habitats. Together, these forms of pollution create a complex web of environmental and health hazards that demand immediate attention.  
      
    Human health is intricately tied to the environment, making pollution a direct and indirect cause of numerous diseases and conditions. Respiratory ailments, cardiovascular issues, and neurological disorders are increasingly linked to exposure to polluted air and toxic chemicals. Vulnerable populations, such as children and low-income communities, bear a disproportionate burden of these impacts, amplifying social inequalities. Beyond physical health, the psychological toll of living in a degraded environment adds another layer of complexity to the crisis.

    You are a Scrum Master and you have a challenge: 
    You have been hired to "fix" a poorly performing software development team.  When you join the group you find that it is dominated by a very capable by a strong willed woman that the team calls "Bossy Bobbie".  She makes every decision and assigns tasks to all of the other developers.  She follows them up and takes over their tasks if they fall behind.  No one is happy about the situation, but no one seems willing to do anything about it.   
    Now the problem has fallen into your lap.  What do you do about it? 
    This case and the others in the series come from the real-world experiences of a group of Scrum professionals who meet regularly to discuss the Scrum Framework and how to apply it to actual situations they have encountered.  These discussions have been led since 2015 by Frederik Mark Fowler, A Doctor of Scrum and Holder of the Professional Scrum Master level III certification awarded by Scrum.org.  Fred has worked with the Scrum Framework for almost 20 years and has trained more then 300 people to become Scrum Masters and Product Owners.

    A New Science of Life

    **The fully revised edition of Rupert Sheldrake's controversial science classic, from the author of the bestselling Dogs That Know When Their Owners are Coming Home, celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2021!**
    
    After chemists crystallised a new chemical for the first time, it became easier and easier to crystallise in laboratories all over the world. After rats at Harvard first escaped from a new kind of water maze, successive generations learned quicker and quicker. Then rats in Melbourne, Australia learned yet faster. Rats with no trained ancestors shared in this improvement.
    
    Rupert Sheldrake sees these processes as examples of morphic resonance. Past forms and activities of organisms, he argues, influence organisms in the present through direct connections across time and space.Individual plants and animals both draw upon and contribute to the collective memory of their species.
    
    Sheldrake, now Director of the Perrott-Warwick Project supported by Trinity College, Cambridge, reinterprets the regularities of nature as being more like habits than immutable laws. Described as 'the best candidate for burning there has been for many years' by Nature on first publication, this updated edition will raise hackles and inspire curiosity in equal measure.
