Written primarily for 16-19 year old students, this primer aims to extend students' knowledge and inspire them to take their school-level learning further. It explores topics that are familiar from the curriculum and also introduces new ideas, giving students a first taste of the study ofbiology beyond school-level and demonstrating how concepts frequently encountered at school are relevant to and applied in current research. This is the ideal text to support students who are considering making the transition from studying biology at school to university.This is a concise, stimulating introduction to the fundamental biomolecules in cells and organisms, and the exciting ways biochemistry could be used to solve global problems, both now and in the future.

Science Communication: A Practical Guide for Scientists

Wiley/Blackwell

Science communication is a rapidly expanding area and meaningful engagement between scientists and the public requires effective communication. Designed to help the novice scientist get started with science communication, this unique guide begins with a short history of science communication before discussing the design and delivery of an effective engagement event. Along with numerous case studies written by highly regarded international contributors, the book discusses how to approach face-to-face science communication and engagement activities with the public while providing tips to avoid potential pitfalls. This book has been written for scientists at all stages of their career, including undergraduates and postgraduates wishing to engage with effective science communication for the first time, or looking to develop their science communication portfolio.

Although scientists continue to play a crucial role in the continuing battle against antibiotic resistance, a return to a pre-antibiotic era is a distinct possibility. This book draws much-needed attention to current levels of antibiotic resistance and the lack of new antibiotic drugs coming to market. The fascinating history of antibiotic discovery, how antibiotics are made now, and how bacteria manage to mutate and develop resistance to our medicines are explained in terms non-specialists can follow. The book also describes the alarming ease with which antibiotic resistance spreads within bacterial communities. How have human activities contributed to antibiotic resistance? What will a future where resistance continues to increase look like and how will we cope with the ‘superbugs’? Laura Bowater engages readers with these questions, raising awareness of an important global challenge for humanity.
