Resistance is a modern-day Common Sense , opening a new window on what it means to be American at a time of uncertainty Biggers makes cultural history come alive, and demonstrates its relevance to readers' lives today; its celebratory roots-based history and story-telling at its best In the current political climate, it is easy for activists to feel overwhelmed or alone. How do we fight a battle on so many fronts: anti-immigration legislation, climate change denial, LGB/transgender discrimination, racism and white supremacy, women's rights, and corporate greed are just a few of the issues facing the United States in 2018. Biggers' Resistance is both an intimate history and a buoying reminder that activism has a powerful history in the country, and that each issue for which we fight has historical precedent and example from which to learn and draw hope Jeff Biggers has made a conscientious effort to be truly inclusive in his history: from the Black Lives Matter movement to LGBTQ activism, from pro-choice advocates to immigration champions, the resistance movements chronicled here are as varied as the population of the US itself Biggers is a wonderful public speaker and storyteller, and his reputation among independent booksellers is a positive one; he is known for his engaging and well-attended events; and a recent media survey by London-based Onalytica selected Biggers as one of the top 100 global influencers on climate action in cities. The UNITED STATES OF APPALACHIA: How Southern Mountaineers Brought Independence, Culture, and Enlightenment to America (9781593761516) is now in its eighth printing, and remains a perennial backlist title Jeff Biggers has chronicled the history of social justice movements in the South and Appalachia, the Midwest, and the American Southwest in several award-winning books of memoir, history and investigative journalism. The market for this new title is as much the general nonfiction reader with an interest in political/US history as it is a first or second-year college student (or even senior in high school)

Since the publication of her landmark book In a Different Voice, Carol Gilligan has transformed the way we think about women and men and the relations between them. It was ‘the little book that started a revolution’, and with more than 800,000 copies in print it has become one of the most widely read and influential books ever written on gender and human development. In her new book Joining the Resistance Carol Gilligan reflects on the evolution of her thinking and shows how her key ideas were interwoven with her own life experiences. Her work began with the question of voice: who is speaking to whom, in what body, telling what stories about which relationships? By listening carefully she heard a voice that had been held in silence, and in the process realized the extent to which we – both women and men – had been telling false stories about ourselves. In her subsequent work Gilligan found that adolescent girls resisted pressures to disengage themselves from their honest voices, and by joining their resistance she opened the way for the development of a more humane way of thinking about personal and political relationships. For the central conviction of her work today – and the central thesis of this book – is that the requisites for love and the requisites for citizenship in a democratic society are one and the same. Both voice and the desire to live in relationships inherent in our human nature, together with the capacity to resist false authority. Combining autobiographical reflection with an analysis of key questions about gender and human development, this timely and highly readable book by one of America’s greatest contemporary thinkers will appeal to a wide readership.

This book is about the global crisis and the right to resistance, about neoliberal biopolitics and direct democracy, about the responsibility of intellectuals and the poetry of the multitude. Using Greece as an example, Douzinas argues that the persistent sequence of protests, uprisings and revolutions has radically changed the political landscape. This new politics is the latest example of the drive to resist, a persevering characteristic of the human spirit. The EU and the IMF used Greece as a guinea pig to test the conditions of social reconstruction in times of crisis. But the manifold resistances turned the object of experimentation into a political subject and overturned the plans of elites. The idea and limits of democracy are redefined in the place of their birth.

Annual Plant Reviews, Volume 34 Molecular Aspects of Plant Disease Resistance Edited by Jane Parker In recent years, our understanding of the mechanisms involved in plant resistance to disease has seen major advances. This important new volume in Wiley-Blackwell’s Annual Plant Reviews provides cutting edge reviews on major aspects of plant immunity from many of the world's leading researchers in the area. Coverage includes: • Establishment of disease by microbial pathogens • Genomic approaches to understanding host-pathogen interactions • Local and systemic resistance signalling • Activities of small bioactive molecules • Plant-insect ecology This exciting volume is essential reading for all those studying plant-pathogen interactions including plant and agricultural scientists, molecular biologists, geneticists and microbiologists. Libraries in all universities and research establishments where biological and agricultural sciences are studied and taught should have copies of this important volume on their shelves.

This book, which is the translated version of a Swedish book, combines a general introduction of a variety of antibiotics with a more in-depth discussion of resistance. The focus on resistance in learning about antibiotics will help future scientists recognize the problem antibiotics resistance poses for medicinal and drug-related fields, and perhaps trigger more research and discoveries to fight antibiotic resistant strains. Current overviews of the topic are included, along with specific discussions on the individual mechanisms (betalactams, glycopeptides, aminoglycosides, etc) used in various antibacterial agents and explanations of how resistances to those develop. Methods for counteracting resistance development in bacteria are discussed as well.
