This unique volume provides a comprehensive overview of all the major aspects of modern drinking water systems in the western European context. It not only covers the theoretical principles, but also the historical background and practical aspects o design and operation, legislation, planning and finance o drinking water supply in its social and economic context. he principles and practices are illustrated using e periences rom he etherlands. he utch drinking water suppl is well known or its multiple barrier s stems and high technical standards. The Dutch drinking water is of high quality and does not contain chlorine, and the Dutch therefore readily drink tap water and do not see the need to bu bo led water or in house filters, with their drawbacks on national economics, public health and the environment. his illustrative overview can be used as a reference for other countries and regions.

320 Single Best Answer Questions for Final Year Medical Students 2nd Edition Adam Ioannou

Royal Free Hospital, UK

Endorsements “I thought this was a fantastic book that challenged me into thinking through two- and three-step questions. Dr Ioannou’s style of questioning is similar to what I experienced in my final exams, and it encouraged me to look into the complexities of different topics. I particularly liked the fact that there was feedback provided not only on why an answer was right, but also why the other answers were incorrect.”

Lucy Tiffen UCL Final year medical student “I found this book extremely instructive and aimed particularly at working out how to answer complex, two or three-step questions. The explanations were concise and easy to understand. I learned a lot from this book and would recommend it to medical students revising for their finals.”

Viruses: More Friends Than Foes Revised Edition Karin Moelling

University of Zurich, Switzerland & Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics, Berlin, Germany

Endorsement “Her style is chatty, and just when you want to break into the conversation and ask a question, she’s thrown in an aside about a spat at a scientific meeting or discussed how we should dispose of our tissues when we have a cold. If this sort of mental gymnastics on top of some heavyweight science doesn’t put you off, you’ll like her book and learn much from it.”

Times Higher Education “Moëlling uses her successful career in the discipline to structure much of the book and includes numerous interesting personal anecdotes to underscore her points.

The writing style is conversational and will be accessible to non-scientists. “ CHOICE connect

Description Coronavirus, AIDS, and Ebola: Viruses are normally defined as pathogens. Most viruses are, however, not enemies or killers. Well-known virologist and cancer researcher Karin Moelling describes surprising insights about a completely new and unexpected world of viruses. Viruses are ubiquitous, in the oceans, our environment, in animals, plants, bacteria, in our body, even in our genomes. They in uence our weather, can contribute to control obesit , and can surprisingl be applied against threatening multi resistant bacteria. he success stor o the viruses started more than 3.5 billion years ago in the dawn of life when even cells did not exist. They are the superpower of life. There are more viruses on earth than stars in the sky. Viruses are everywhere. Some of them are incredibly ancient.

Many viruses are hundredfold smaller than bacteria, but others are tenfold bigger and they were discovered only recently — the giant viruses, even deep within the perma rost where the were reactivated a er 30,000 ears.

The author talks about a completely new world of viruses, which are based on the most recent, in part her own research results. Could viruses have been our oldest ancestors? Have viruses even “invented” social behavior, do they lead to geniuses such as o art or Einstein or alternativel to cancer he can help to cure cancer. n this book, the author made a clear distinction between what is act and what is her vision. his book is wri en or a general audience and not ust or the e perts. ts aim is to stimulate thinking, and perhaps to a ract more oung scientists to enter this field o research.

Science Research Writing for native and non-native speakers of English 2nd Edition Hilary Glasman-Deal

Imperial College London, UK

Endorsement “This book should be on every STEMM academic’s bookshelf. In an academic world concerned with the quantity and quality of scientific publishing, this new edition of Science Research Writing is essential and timely. Writing enthusiastically and clearly, Glasman-Deal forensically deconstructs published texts to generate a series of robust, flexible models that help make writing less daunting. The content, tone, and language choice required to guide the reader through the main building blocks of STEMM writing (i.e. Abstract, Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusions) are clearly outlined; this helps the author communicate the intended meaning of every sentence, paragraph and section, clearly and unambiguously.

This book is essential reading for academics at all experience levels; it will not only benefit students taking their first steps into scientific writing but also publishing ‘veterans’ who are still looking for ways to improve their skills.”

Christopher Jackson Imperial College London

Description This book enables STEMM researchers to write effective papers for publication as well as other research-related texts such as a doctoral thesis, technical report, or conference abstract.

Science Research Writing uses a reverse engineering approach to writing developed rom e tensive work with S E researchers at mperial College London. his approach unpacks current models o S E research writing and helps writers to generate the writing tools needed to operate those models e ectivel in their own field. he reverse engineering approach also ensures that writers develop uture proo strategies that will evolve alongside the coming changes in research communication pla orms. he Second Edition has been e tensivel revised and updated to represent current practice and ocuses on the writing needs o both earl stage doctoral S E researchers and e perienced pro essional researchers at the highest level, whether or not the are native speakers o English. he book retains the practical, user riendl ormat o the irst Edition, and now contains seven units that deal separatel with the components o wri en S E research communication ntroduction, ethods, esults, iscussion, Conclusion, bstract and itle, as well as e tensive responses and a new Checklist and ips section. Each unit anal ses e tracts rom recent published S E ournal papers to enable researchers to discover not onl what to write, but, cruciall , how to write it. he global nature o science research re uires ast, accurate communication o highl comple in ormation that can be understood b all participants. Like the irst Edition, the Second Edition is intended as a ast, do it oursel guide to make both the process and the product o S E research writing more e ective.

Author Hilary Glasman-Deal teaches academic S E communication at mperial College London.
