The Microbiology Laboratory: An Introduction to Clinical Microbiology Concepts AND Techniques
by Margaret WareThe goal of this text is to instill a basic curiosity about and respect for microorganisms as students prepare for their future health care professions. The Microbiology Laboratory: An Introduction to Clinical Microbiology Concepts and Techniques promotes the understanding of how microorganisms live and spread, as well as how to deter their presence when needed. This text stresses the importance of constant vigilance in both quality control and infection control practices. Using simulated patient cases, the text introduces identification techniques as well as the importance of effective communication in quality patient care. Experiments utilize demonstration, critical thinking, and discovery to clarify and solidify important concepts regarding microbial life while remaining directly applicable to challenges encountered daily. In addition to the more traditional activities, several exercises draw directly from student discussion of current events to utilize hands on exploration of relevant questions. The introduction to each lab exercise provides background information to help solidify the “why” behind the many details found in best practices required of health care professionals. The knowledge and experiences gained through these lab activities contribute to an early development of vigilant microbial control practices as a lifelong habit. This text requires little previous science background and assumes only basic math skills. Exercises do not require a large investment in equipment, utilizing hands-on experiences over automated alternatives, making it suitable for a wide variety of instructional situations.
Precognitive Dreamwork and the Long Self: Interpreting Messages from Your Future
by Eric Wargo• Outlines a set of clear principles to help guide dreamworkers, illustrated through real precognitive dream experiences • Shows how to detect precognitive dreams through their characteristic features, explaining how dreams relate to memory and why dreams about future experiences are often symbolic or distorted • Explores the mind-blowing implications of precognition for our lives, including how our present thoughts actually shape--or shaped--our past Once only the stuff of science fiction, evidence has grown that precognition--glimpses of your future in dreams and visions and being influenced subtly in waking life by what is to come--is real. Your future thoughts and feelings shape who you are now. And your present thoughts and feelings shape--or shaped--your past. In this accessible exploration of precognition, precognitive dreamwork, and a radically new biographical sensibility, the Long Self, that precognition awakens us to, Eric Wargo shows how dreamworkers can play the role of citizen scientists, adding to our understanding of this fascinating, almost unexplored dimension of human life. Wargo outlines a set of clear principles to guide dreamworkers, each illustrated through real dreamers&’ experiences. Drawing on psychoanalysis and contemporary sleep science, he explores how precognition relates to memory, explaining why dreams of future experiences are often distorted and what those distortions probably mean. He discusses never-before-described dream features, including &“time gimmicks&” (symbols hinting at time distortion) and &“calendrical resonance&” (the tendency of dreams to foretell experiences exactly a year or years later). He describes why an understanding of precognition augments Jung&’s theory of synchronicity by highlighting our own role in producing meaningful coincidences in our waking lives. He also shows how precognition manifests in other states of consciousness like lucid dreams, out-of-body experiences, trance states, sleep paralysis, meditation, and hypnagogia. We are at a major turning point in science&’s understanding of time, causality, and the self. We are more than who we think we are from moment to moment--we are our past, present, and future simultaneously. When we understand this, a dream journal becomes a personal time machine, with mind-blowing discoveries in store for the traveler.
Green Intelligence: Creating Environments That Protect Human Health
by John WargoWe live in a world awash in manmade chemicals, from the pesticides on our front lawns to the diesel exhaust in the air we breathe. Although experts are beginning to understand the potential dangers of these substances, there are still more than 80,000 synthetic compounds that have not been sufficiently tested to interpret their effects on human health. Yale University professor John Wargo has spent much of his career researching the impact of chemical exposures on women and children. In this book, he explains the origins of society's profound misunderstanding of everyday chemical hazards and offers a practical path toward developing greater "green intelligence. " Despite the rising trend in environmental awareness, information about synthetic substances is often unavailable, distorted, kept secret, or presented in a way that prevents citizens from acting to reduce threats to their health and the environment. By examining the histories of five hazardous technologies and practices, Wargo finds remarkable patterns in the delayed discovery of dangers and explains the governments' failures to manage them effectively. Sobering yet eminently readable, Wargo's book ultimately offers a clear vision for a safer future through prevention, transparency, and awareness.
