Not so long ago, antibiotics were considered miracle cures. The introduction of penicillin turned once fatal infections into minor problems. Tuberculosis, a fatal disease of the early twentieth century, seemed to disappear, but the appearance of microbes that are highly resistant to antibiotics in the late twentieth century meant that minor health problems were major again, and tuberculosis re-entered the scene. Author Nancy Day explains the history of antibiotics and how bacteria and protozoas have become resistant to antibiotic treatment. Day also discusses the fight against the overuse and abuse that have made antibiotics less effective.

Main description: There is an increasing awareness in linguistics that linguistic patterns can be explained with recourse to general cognitive processes.

This open access book explores a special species of trouble afflicting modern societies: creeping crises. These crises evolve over time, reveal themselves in different ways, and resist comprehensive responses despite periodic public attention. As a result, these crises continue to creep in front of our eyes. This book begins by defining the concept of a creeping crisis, showing how existing literature fails to properly define and explore this phenomenon and outlining the challenges such crises pose to practitioners. Drawing on ongoing research, this book presents a diverse set of case studies on: antimicrobial resistance, climate change-induced migration, energy extraction, big data, Covid-19, migration, foreign fighters, and cyberattacks. Each chapter explores how creeping crises come into existence, why they can develop unimpeded, and the consequences they bring in terms of damage and legitimacy loss. The book provides a proof-of-concept to help launch the systematic study of creeping crises. Our analysis helps academics understand a new species of threat and practitioners recognize and prepare for creeping crises.

Recent scandals in the biosciences have highlighted the perils of communicating science leading many observers to ask questions about the pressures on scientists and the media to hype-up claims of scientific breakthroughs. Journalists, science writers and scientists themselves have to report complex and rapidly-developing scientific issues to society, yet work within conceptual and temporal constraints that shape their communication. To date, there has been little reflection on the ethical implications of science writing and science communication in an era of rapid change. Communicating Biological Sciences discusses the 'ethics' of science communication in light of recent developments in biotechnology and biomedicine. It focuses on the role of metaphors in the creation of visions and the framing of scientific advances, as well as their impact on patterns of public acceptance and rejection, trust and scepticism. Its rigorous investigation will appeal not only to science writers and scientists, but also to scholars of sociology, science and technology studies, media and journalism.

Mention "national parks," and most people think of majestic mountains, bears, forest fires, and spouting geysers. But the national park system includes much more -- the Statue of Liberty, the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln, and the Grand Canyon. The parks were established to keep areas of natural and cultural significance "unimpaired for future generations." In National Parks in Crisis: Debating the Issues, Wendy Hart Beckman explores historical issues, from the building of dams to the control of wildlife. And she outlines the questions facing the parks today: How can pollution be controlled? What are the interests of different cultural groups? How can people enjoy the parks without spoiling the experience -- for today's visitors and for the visitors of tomorrow? Book jacket.
