Secret Life of Germs: What They Are, Why We Need Them, and How We Can Protect Ourselves Against Them
ISBN: 9780743421881 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. They're on everything we touch, eat, and breathe in -- on every inch of skin. And despite the advances of science, germs are challenging medicine in ways that were unimaginable ten years ago. No wonder the world is up in arms -- and using antibacterial soaps.
From the common cold, E. coli, and Lyme disease to encephalitis, mad cow disease, and flesh-eating bacteria, Tierno takes readers on a historical survey of the microscopic world. Rebuffing scare tactics behind recent "germ events" Tierno explains how the recycling of matter is the key to life. Yes, he'll tell you why it's a good...

An Epidemic of Absence: A New Way of Understanding Allergies and Autoimmune Diseases
ISBN: 9781439199398 / Angielski / Miękka / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A brilliant, groundbreaking report on the dramatic rise of allergic and autoimmune disease, and the controversial therapies scientists are developing to correct these disorders. From asthma to Crohn's disease, everyone knows someone who suffers from an allergic or autoimmune disorder. And if it appears that the prevalence of these maladies has increased recently, that's because it has--to levels never before seen in human history. These days no fewer than one in five--and likely more--Americans suffers from one of these ailments. We seem newly, and bafflingly, vulnerable to immune...

Dancing Matrix: How Science Confronts Emerging Viruses
ISBN: 9780679730835 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Even as humanity reels beneath the assault of AIDS, epidemiologists are gearing themselves up for the plague's successor. It might be dengue fever, whose carrier, the Asian tiger mosquito, has recently appeared in the United States, or Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, which has been transmitted by contaminated human growth hormone. The next pandemic might be caused by any of a dozen viruses that were once confined to other species or territories but now place human beings at risk as we increasingly cross their boundaries.
Updated to include the latest research and developments, this fascinating... Even as humanity reels beneath the assault of AIDS, epidemiologists are gearing themselves up for the plague's successor. It might be dengue fever, wh...

Microbic Dissociation: The Instability Of Bacterial Species With Special Reference To Active Dissociation And Transmissible Autolysis
ISBN: 9781477499993 / Angielski / Miękka / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this work Philip Hadley provides a comprehensive discussion of the immense body of prior work on the occurrence of dissociation of bacterial forms, including much accomplished even prior to the start of the Twentieth Century. Hadley's work has apparently, unfortunately, not previously been published independently in book form, which may help explain why this exhaustive treatise has thus far evaded a more-deserved and widespread audience.

Microbic Dissociation II -- Twort-D'Herelle: A Critical Review And New (Homogamic) Conception
ISBN: 9781491233207 / Angielski / Miękka / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The working hypothesis ... is that the bacteriophage is either a definite stage in the cyclogeny of the bacterial species, or a functionally active particle accessory to one of these stages; and by the term "accessory" I mean possessing complementary or reciprocal biologic significance, such, for example, as the relation of sperm cell to ovum. With such a conception there is not any priority of significance in the relation between bacteriophagic corpuscle and the cell which it "attacks." Both elements are necesary components of a definite reproductive mechanism possessed by many, if not all,...

The title paper in this compilation, "Filtrable Bacteria," was published in the Journal of Infectious Diseases in 1931. This was the third in a series dealing with the subject of bacterial variability. The first ("Microbic Dissociation") was published in 1927, and the second ("The Twort-d'Herelle Phenomenon") in 1928. "Filtrable Bacteria" continues the study of dissociative variations among bacteria, and addresses the method of production, the cultural behavior, the morphology and the filterability of what may be termed "the filterable virus stage" of the Shiga dysentery bacillus.

Riddled with Life: Friendly Worms, Ladybug Sex, and the Parasites That Make Us Who We Are
ISBN: 9780156034685 / Angielski / Miękka / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. We treat disease as our enemy. Germs and infections are things we battle. But what if we ve been giving them a bum rap?
From the earliest days of life on earth, disease has evolved alongside us. And its presence isn't justnatural but is also essential to our health. Drawing on the latest research, Zuk answers a fascinating range of questions about disease: Why do men die younger than women? Why are we attracted to our mates? Why does the average male bird not have a penis? Why do we--as well as insects, birds, pigs, cows, goats, and even plants--get STDs? Why do we have sex at all, rather...

Immune Crossover IV - Network Faces - The Lost Environment
ISBN: 9780755204793 / Angielski / Miękka / 174 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. While we have a feeling that our 'thought experiment' could bear fruit, we are far from the idea that equivalent expressions by the brain and the immune function point to an axis of both systems. Al-though major players, they also depend on the regulation of the rest of the body. As we focus here rather on a social context, many more factors are to be accounted for. Shanty-towns, rather than being seen in a dismissive context, may provide clues to historical conditions, a tip off perhaps to update the idea of 'individualistic' immunity. Subjected to all kinds of inward and outward...
