This screenplay of the controversial 1954 "film of persuasion" about a strike in a New Mexico zinc mine is extraordinary in its effort to deal with the struggles of workers and women, as they strive for dignity and equality. The film was the unique product of a collaboration between the mining families and blacklisted Hollywood people. The film's narrator and protagonist is a Mexican-American woman who grows in consciousness and effectiveness through her participation in the community struggle. Rosenfelt’s analysis of the background, history, and significance of both the strike and the film includes a discussion of the change in status of the women who took part in this strike.

Although much has been written about submarine action in World War II, practically nothing is known of the early submarines and their crews during World War I. Because of the limitations of these early vessels, submarine activity was largely confined to the Mediterranean sea. The authors have produced an extremely details record of early submarine action, compiled from official sources and encompassing the countries involved in the conflict. Their account is supported by a wealth of photographs never before published.

The opening of the Sainsbury Wing marks a dual achievement: a building of world-class quality and a new home for one of the finest holdings of Early Renaissance paintings. In both respects Robert Venturi's building represents a milestone in architecture. In his guide to the new Sainsbury Wing at the National Gallery, Michael Wilson describes the building, its elegant galleries, the great paintings they house, and the many other facilities, such as the temporary exhibition rooms, lecture theatre and computerized information room. He tells how the gift of the Sainsbury brothers made possible an entire new building for the Gallery, and how Robert Venturi was selected as architect. He describes how the new galleries were specifically designed for the Early Renaissance collection, and the care that has been taken to provide the best possible environment for the pictures in terms of climate and lighting. The collection is rich in outstanding works, and Michael Wilson here tells the story of how many were acquired and how it has been decided to present them in the new galleries - taking the reader on a tour of the rooms. This illustrated souvenir provides a fitting momento of a remarkable building and the treasures it contains.

1st Prize, 'New Authored Books' category, Royal Society of Medicine and Society of Authors Medical Book Awards 2008 “Overall, I am impressed by the up-to date information content and structure provided in Bacteriology of Humans. It is truly an ecological perspective helpful for undergraduate/graduate majors in microbiology and immunology.” –American Society for Microbiology, June 2009 "Wilson provides the reader with an up-to-date, comprehensive census of the indigenous microorganisms that inhabit the human body and in so doing contributes significantly to this rapidly advancing area of study. The narrative is clearly written; the index is excellent; there are numerous bibliographic citations. Each chapter is rich with tables, diagrams, color micrographs, and charts … Highly recommended." –Choice Reviews "This comprehensive, yet accessible text... is an excellent and informative reference book… it should be on the shelf of every major science and medical library. The content, organization, and presentation make this book a unique resource." –Doody's Book Reviews Until recently, the indigenous microbiota of humans has been a relatively neglected area of microbiology with most attention being focused on those microbes that cause disease in humans, rather than on those that co-exist with us in the disease-free state. However, in the past decade research has shown that not only is the indigenous microbiota involved in protecting humans from exogenous pathogens but it is also involved in our development and nutrition. Consequently, interest has grown substantially among health professionals and scientists in analyzing and understanding these microbial (largely bacterial) communities. This comprehensive, yet accessible text provides an up-to-date guide to the development, composition and distribution of indigenous microbial communities of humans. With the aid of abundant colour figures, diagrams, tables and maps, it establishes links between the physicochemical factors prevailing at an anatomical site and the types of microbes to be found there. The book includes an introduction to the human-microbe symbiosis as well as an in-depth look at the main systems and organs of the human body that have an indigenous microbiota. Each chapter includes a list of references for further study. This is an excellent and informative reference book that is useful to anyone with an interest in microbiology, medical microbiology, microbial ecology, infectious diseases, immunology, human biology, medicine, dentistry, nursing, health sciences, biomedical sciences or pharmacy – it should be on the shelf of every major science and medical library.
