Antimicrobial Resistance in the 21st Century: Understanding and Combating the Rising Threat addresses one of the greatest public health challenges of our time, antibiotic resistance. This book explores the science, history, and global impact of this crisis, providing readers with the knowledge they need to understand the problem and take necessary action. It meticulously unpacks the genetic, biochemical, and evolutionary mechanisms behind antibiotic resistance, while examining how human behaviors-from healthcare practices to agricultural methods-fuel its spread. It highlights the critical roles of environmental factors, misuse of antibiotics, and gaps in diagnosis and stewardship that exacerbate resistance across both clinical and community settings. It also examines innovative solutions, including next-generation antibiotics, alternative therapies, vaccines, and advances in infection control, alongside the global policy strategies necessary to combat this threat. By addressing the scientific, medical, economic, and sociocultural dimensions of antimicrobial resistance, this book provides a roadmap for coordinated, multidisciplinary efforts to preserve antibiotic efficacy and safeguard public health for future generations. It is written by global experts for researchers and scientists in microbiology, infectious diseases, public health, and pharmacology. It is also of interest to healthcare professionals such as clinicians, pharmacists, and nurses, as well as policymakers, public health officials, students, and industry professionals.Explains how bacteria develop resistance, the role of overuse and misuse, and why new antibiotics are difficult to developCovers infection control measures, responsible antibiotic prescribing, and global initiativesDiscusses cutting-edge research on alternatives to antibiotics, such as bacteriophage therapy and artificial intelligence--driven drug discovery

The Himalayas, also known as the Roof of the World, is a vital biodiversity hotspot, encompassing steep slopes, snow-capped peaks, and glaciers. Despite its richness in montane flora, it ranks fourth among the world's most threatened biodiversity hotspots due to urbanization, industrialization, and climate change. This book addresses the urgent need for effective biodiversity conservation strategies in this unique region.Edited by a team of leading experts, this comprehensive volume synthesizes research findings on the current state of Himalayan biodiversity, examining factors driving its decline and proposing actionable conservation strategies. Contributions from experienced researchers, provide in-depth insights into the impacts of habitat loss, illegal wildlife trade, forest fires, and global warming on the delicate ecosystem.Key topics covered include:The present status of Himalayan flora and faunaVarious threats to the Himalayan hotspotConservation and management policiesRecent taxonomic and ecological approaches in biodiversity conservationEvolutionary patterns and diversity of Himalayan floraModes and consequences of biodiversity destructionSustainable eco-tourism in Himalayan forestsSpanning the regions of India, Nepal, Bhutan, and Pakistan, this work offers an extensive overview of the entire Himalayan biodiversity and its conservation efforts. It aims to represent a collective summary of the severe impacts of anthropogenic activities on the Himalayan ecosystem and to propose both local and global efforts needed for biodiversity conservation. It will serve as an essential resource for government and NGO planners, researchers, plant biologists, taxonomists, and academicians involved in environmental and conservation studies, eco-tourism, and disaster management.
