      Close Encounters of the Microbial Kind

      Everything You Need to Know About Common Infections

      Microbes - can't live with them, can't live without them. Increasingly, we're finding out that our microbiota (the microbes that live on us) are essential for our wellbeing - they provide us with nutrients and vitamins and play a key role in developing our immune system. On the other hand, they are responsible for a great deal of misery, as they are major causes of death and debility around the world. As well as our own microbiota turning against us, there are lots of other microbes out in the wider world that can seriously damage, or even kill, those they infect. The current pandemic of COVID-19 shows the devastating effect that an infectious disease can have - our lives have been turned upside down.If you live in a developed country, you're not likely to get killer diseases such as ebola and cholera, but you do have a high chance of catching other infections that can have a significant impact on your wellbeing. This book focuses on those infections you're most likely to go down with, and supplies the answers to the following questions about them: - Which infectious diseases are we likely to come across?- How common are they? - What microbes cause them? - What happens to our bodies during an infection? - How are the resulting illnesses treated?- How can we avoid getting them? This book covers nearly 60 infectious diseases that people living in developed countries are likely to experience at some point during their life. It also has an introductory chapter that describes, in everyday language, the basic principles of microbiology and infectious diseases. Each chapter is lavishly illustrated, has interesting, relevant inserts, and provides a list of web-accessible suggestions for further reading

      Kniha přináší působivý a nově pojatý přehled děl současných výtvarných umělců, jehož prostřednictvím autor zkoumá proměnlivý a často zarážející svět umění jednadvacátého století. Tvorba dnešních umělců je provokativní, složitá a nezřídka vyvolává rozpačité reakce. Jak číst současné umění může čtenářům posloužit jako vodítko, pokud chtějí porozumět a umět si vychutnat ohromné množství rozmanitých děl vystavených v muzeích a galeriích po celém světě. Soubor v abecedním řazení podle příjmení autorů představuje více než dvě stovky děl – fotografií, instalací, soch, maleb, videí a performancí – vytvořených žijícími umělci v průběhu posledních dvou desetiletí. Michael Wilson se zde zabývá tvorbou široké škály současných nejvýznamnějších umělců, mezi jinými Francise Alÿse, dvojice Allora & Calzadilla, Luca Tuymanse a Mariny Abramovićové. Jedná se nejen o umělce, kteří „v současné době patří k nejoslavovanějším, ale také o ty, jimž se dostává uznání jiných umělců a mají významný vliv, aniž se sami stali celebritami.“
