"Spitting blood" is a vivid portrait of one of our oldest and deadliest foes. Tuberculosis was virtually eradicated in the west in the late twentieth century, but continued to decimate the developing world, and is making a frightening drug-resistant, HIV related comeback in cities worldwide. Helen Bynum begins with the distant past of the causative bacillus, traces the smouldering epidemic through the industrial revolution, and charts its recent deadly return. She relates the vital medical discoveries of René Laennec, Robert Koch, Selman Waksman, and others, and perceptions of TB in wider culture through the lives of George Orwell and John Keats. The story of tuberculosis it seems, is far from over.

The use of silver as an antibacterial agent has been known for thousands of years. This effect can be amplified by simply reducing the size of silver particles to the nanoscale, with an added advantage of reduction in cost and toxicity. Application of silver nanoparticles to textiles can bring considerable advantages, especially for materials that cannot be washed daily or medical support materials. This book describes a novel synthesis method that the author calls "in situ," in which these nanoparticles are obtained directly on materials. The method is simple and easy to apply and can also be considered green because the reducing agent involved is ascorbic acid, commonly known as vitamin C. It neither requires special modifications in the industrial equipment nor special pressure or temperature conditions. It can be used to grow other metals or metal oxides on a material. The book showcases studies carried out on silver nanoparticles by the author over several years, not only in terms of the synthesis but also the morphological characterization of the substrate to which they were applied. It exhibits SEM images displaying the homogeneity of the silver coating, highlighting that sometimes the simplest way is the best way.

""What is antibiotic resistance and why should I be concerned with it?" Media coverage and political and scientific discussions about "suberbugs" that defy our current treatments, genetically-modified foods in our fields and grocery stores, the threat of bioterrorism, and the use of antibiotics in agriculture have increased citizen awareness and fears regarding issues surrounding antibiotic resistance"--

"This book presents a thorough and authoritative overview of the multifaceted field of antibiotic science. In order to address the significant challenge of resistance to antibiotic drugs, the book divides coverage into several broad sections: current antibiotics and their mechanism of action, mechanism of antibiotic resistance, socio-economic perspective, therapeutic strategies, prevention strategies, and public policy"--Provided by publisher.
