Biofilms are implicated in many common medical problems including
urinary tract infections, catheter infections, middle-ear
infections, dental plaque, gingivitis, and some less common but
more lethal processes such as endocarditis and infections in cystic
fibrosis. However, the true importance of biofilms in the overall
process of disease pathogenesis has only recently been recognized.
Bacterial biofilms are one of the fundamental reasons for incipient
wound healing failure in that they may impair natural cutaneous
wound healing and reduce topical antimicrobial efficiency in
infected skin wounds. Their existence explains many of the enigmas
of microbial infection and a better grasp of the process may well
serve to establish a different approach to infection control and
management. Biofilms and their associated complications have been
found to be involved in up to 80% of all infections. A large number
of studies targeted at the bacterial biofilms have been conducted,
and many of them are referred to in this book, which is the first
of its kind. These clinical observations emphasize the importance
of biofilm formation to both superficial and systemic infections,
and the inability of current antimicrobial therapies to 'cure' the
resulting diseases even when the in vitro tests suggest that they
should be fully effective. In veterinary medicine the concept of
biofilms and their role in the pathogenesis of disease has lagged
seriously behind that in human medicine. This is all the more
extraordinary when one considers that much of the research has been
carried out using veterinary species in experimental situations.
The clinical features of biofilms in human medicine is certainly
mimicked in the veterinary species but there is an inherent and
highly regrettable indifference to the failure of antimicrobial
therapy in many veterinary disease situations, and this is probably
at its most retrograde in veterinary wound management. Biofilms and
Veterinary Medicine is specifically focused on discussing the
concerns of biofilms to health and disease in animals and provides
a definitive text for veterinary practitioners, medical and
veterinary students, and researchers.
This volume is a synthesis of the NASA funded work under the
Land-Cover and Land-Use Change Program. Hundreds of scientists have
worked for the past eight years to understand one of the most
important forces that is changing our planet-human impacts on land
cover, that is land use. Its contributions span the natural and the
social sciences, and apply state-of-the-art techniques for
understanding the earth: satellite remote sensing, geographic
information systems, modeling, and advanced computing. It brings
together detailed case studies, regional analyses, and globally
scaled mapping efforts. This is the most organized effort made to
understand the dominant force that has been responsible for
changing the Earth's biosphere. Audience: This publication will be
of interest to students, scientists, and policy makers. This volume
includes a CD-ROM containing full color images of a selection of
illustrations which are printed in black-and-white in the book.

Tropical Deforestation introduces readers to the important concepts
for understanding the environmental challenges and consequences of
the deforestation. Contributions from scientists and academics in
the social sciences and humanities provide readers with an initial
'tool kit' for understanding the concepts central to their
disciplinary perspective and the multi-dimensional aspects of
deforestation.
