Antibiotics in Water

Tradutor A AI

Sinopse

Antibiotics in Water investigates the alarming presence of antibiotics in aquatic environments and their role in accelerating antibiotic resistance. The book sheds light on how seemingly low concentrations of these substances in water sources, stemming from agricultural runoff or sewage discharge, can drive microbial evolution, leading to resistant bacteria. It highlights the interconnectedness of environmental science, microbiology, and public health, emphasizing that this pollution isn't just about direct toxicity; it's about the long-term evolutionary pressure on microbial communities. This book uniquely focuses on the evolutionary consequences of antibiotic contamination, moving beyond simple documentation to explore the subtle, often overlooked impacts of low-level exposure.

 
Did you know that resistant strains can transfer resistance genes to other bacteria, including those causing human disease? Or that these resistance genes have been found to spread in water, documenting links to human health outcomes?

 
The book progresses by first introducing basic concepts of antibiotic resistance, then presenting evidence from diverse sources, and finally discussing potential solutions like improved wastewater treatment. Ultimately, Antibiotics in Water serves as a call to action, urging individuals and policymakers to address the environmental dimensions of antibiotic resistance. By connecting the dots between water pollution and public health, it advocates for strategies to reduce antibiotic pollution and safeguard our water resources.

Shareware Heroes - The renegades...

Richard Moss

Shareware Heroes is a comprehensive, meticulously researched exploration of an important and too-long overlooked chapter in video game history 
 
 
 
Shareware Heroes: The renegades who redefined gaming at the dawn of the internet takes listeners on a journey, from the beginnings of the shareware model in the early 1980s, the origins of the concept, even the name itself, and the rise of shareware's major players—the likes of id Software, Apogee, and Epic MegaGames—through to the significance of shareware for the "forgotten" systems—the Mac, Atari ST, Amiga—when commercial game publishers turned away from them. 
 
 
 
This book also charts the emergence of commercial shareware distributors like Educorp and the BBS/newsgroup sharing culture. And it explores how shareware developers plugged gaps in the video gaming market by creating games in niche and neglected genres like vertically-scrolling shoot-'em-ups (e.g. Raptor and Tyrian), or racing games (e.g. Wacky Wheels and Skunny Kart), or RPGs (God of Thunder and Realmz), until finally, as the video game market again grew and shifted, and major publishers took control, how the shareware system faded into the background and fell from memory.

Straight Flush - The True Story...

Anônimo

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Accidental Billionaires and Bringing Down the House—the sources for the films The Social Network and 21— comes the larger-than-life true tale of a group of American college buddies who brilliantly built a billion-dollar online poker colossus based out of the hedonistic paradise of Costa Rica.
One problem: the U.S. Department of Justice was gunning for them. . . .
Based on extensive insider interviews and participation, acclaimed author Ben Mezrich's Straight Flush tells the captivating rags-to-riches tale of a group of University of Montana frat brothers who turned a weekly poker game in the basement of a local dive bar into AbsolutePoker.com, one of the largest online companies in the world, on par with some of the behemoths of the Internet. At its height, Absolute Poker was an online empire earning more than a million dollars a day, following savvy business strategy and even better luck. Its founders set up their operations in the exotic jungle paradise of Costa Rica, embracing an outrageous lifestyle of girls, parties, and money.
Meanwhile, the gray area of U.S. and international law in which the company operated was becoming a lot more risky, and soon the U.S. Department of Justice had placed a bull's-eye on Absolute Poker. Should they fold—or double down and ride their hot hand? Impossible to put down, Straight Flush is an exclusive, never-before-seen look behind the headlines of one of the wildest business stories of the past decade.
