It's 2042 and a foreign power controls Australia. Mind reading robotic security guards monitor every move and thought. They patrol the streets, the farms and the university halls, and people who step out of line are eliminated or cut up for body parts. On the surface everything runs like clockwork and plenty of people have benefitted from the foreign power, raking in the money from their business and criminal activities. But the people are suffering. Factory workers are low paid and over worked, fed drugs to keep them passive, people on the land are evicted for foreign take overs and individual thought or spiritual belief is prohibited. But there is an underground resistance. It comes from the bush. A group of disparate people who are used to being resourceful to survive, who can evade the pervasive technology, cross paths and start to fight back. Harry, an acutely sensitive young autistic boy, who can read minds himself, is horrified when the 'Wasps' try to recruit him. Tanja, beautiful, abused and alone, who must try to build a life for herself and her unborn daughter. Jodie, a gun toting girl from a cattle station, who joined a revolution in Africa before returning to Australia. Johnno and Moe, gifted students who meet Harry at a Sydney university. As their stories evolve and their lives cross paths, they must join forces to outwit the far reaching tentacles of technology and the ruthless police state to survive.

'I am unaware of any textbook which provides such comprehensive coverage of the field and doubt that this work will be surpassed in the foreseeable future, if ever!' From the foreword by Robert C. Moellering, Jr., M.D, Shields Warren-Mallinckrodt Professor of Medical Research, Harvard Medical School, USA Kucers' The Use of Antibiotics is the leading major reference work in this vast and rapidly developing field. More than doubled in length compared to the fifth edition, the sixth edition comprises 3000 pages over 2-volumes in order to cover all new and existing therapies, and emerging drugs not yet fully licensed. Concentrating on the treatment of infectious diseases, the content is divided into 4 sections: antibiotics, anti-fungal drugs, anti-parasitic drugs and anti-viral drugs, and is highly structured for ease of reference.Within each section, each chapter is structured to cover susceptibility, formulations and dosing (adult and paediatric), pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, toxicity and drug distribution, detailed discussion regarding clinical uses, a feature unique to this title. Compiled by an expanded team of internationally renowned and respected editors, with a vast number of contributors spanning Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, South America, the US and Canada, the sixth edition adopts a truly global approach. It will remain invaluable for anyone using antimicrobial agents in their clinical practice and provides in a systematic and concise manner all the information required when treating infections requiring antimicrobial therapy.

The plant species that humans rely upon have an extended family of wild counterparts that are an important source of genetic diversity used to breed productive crops. These wild and weedy cousins are valuable as a resource for adapting our food, forage, industrial and other crops to climate change. Many wild plant species are also directly used, especially for revegetation, and as medicinal and ornamental plants. North America is rich in these wild plant genetic resources. This book is a valuable reference that describes the important crop wild relatives and wild utilized species found in Canada, the United States and Mexico. The book highlights efforts taken by these countries to conserve and use wild resources and provides essential information on best practices for collecting and conserving them. Numerous maps using up-to-date information and methods illustrate the distribution of important species, and supplement detailed description on the potential value these resources have to agriculture, as well as their conservation statuses and needs. There is broad recognition of the urgent need to conserve plant diversity; however, a small fraction of wild species is distinguished by their potential to support agricultural production. Many of these species are common, even weedy, and are easily overshadowed by rare or endangered plants. Nevertheless, because of their genetic proximity to agriculturally important crops or direct use, they deserve to be recognized, celebrated, conserved, and made available to support food and agricultural security. This comprehensive two-volume reference will be valuable for students and scientists interested in economic botany, and for practitioners at all levels tasked with conserving plant biodiversity.
