        Darin Dance started his own publishing and photography business in 2014: The Bach Doctor Press after researching and taking photographs for many book projects while working collaboratively with fellow Ngāi Tahu writers.  He firmly believes that with the retrenchment of the main publishing houses back to Australia, America and Europe, our remarkable “Kiwi” voices and stories will be lost and unheard unless new publishing ventures are prepared to fill this void.  This has become his mission to promote our unique kōrero and pakiwaitara (stories and legends).

        Meningitis, Third Edition

        by Brian R. Shmaefsky, Ph.D.

        Meningitis is an inflammation of the meninges, the protective covering that surrounds the brain and spinal cord. Most commonly caused by a viral infection, it may also result from infection with bacteria or fungus. Bacterial meningitis is usually more severe than viral meningitis and can lead to hearing loss, learning disabilities, and brain damage. If not treated promptly, it can be deadly. Meningitis, Third Edition contains the most current information on the causes, spread, treatment, and prevention of the disease, as well as illustrations and case studies.  Chapters include: Meningitis: A Silent Disease Bacterial Meningitis Viral Meningitis  Other Types of Meningitis Epidemiology Diagnosis, Treatment, and Prevention.

        Staphylococcus aureus infections, Second Edition

        by Donald Emmeluth, Ed.D.

        Staphylococcus aureus is a common bacterium found on the skin and in the nose of up to 25 percent of healthy people and animals, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. S. aureus causes a wide variety of infections, most of which are localized to the skin and are nonfatal in nature. The bacterium produces superficial skin lesions, but can also cause serious internal infections, including hospital-acquired pneumonia, meningitis, septic arthritis, osteomyelitis, endocarditis, and bacteremia. Some strains of S. aureus are resistant to antibiotics, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), making treatment challenging. Staphylococcus aureus Infections, Second Edition describes the symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of S. aureus infections, the newest related research, and future prospects for controlling the bacteria. Chapters and topics include: Bacteria Staphylococcus aureus Staphylococcus aureus, the Immune System,and Bacterial Virulence Factors Fighting Staphylococcus aureus Infections Staphylococcus aureus and Mechanisms of Resistance Methicillin- and Vancoymcin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Staphylococcus aureus and Prevention of Antibiotic Resistance The Future of Staphylococcus aureus Treatment.

        Feline Reproduction

        by Aime Johnson, Michelle Kutzler

        Cats are one of the most popular pets in the world, and as homes become smaller, and single-person households become more common, it is predicted that the numbers being bred and kept will only grow. In Feline Reproduction, the global author team cover all aspects of reproduction in the queen and the tom. Beginning with basic anatomy and normal reproduction, it goes on to cover practical knowledge about pregnancy, neonatal care, breeding soundness exams, and semen cryopreservation. It also includes an overview of factors, diseases, and abnormal conditions affecting reproduction, such as infertility, causes of abortion and contraception. Covering both pet patients and nondomestic species, this book provides a thorough grounding in feline reproduction for the general veterinary practitioner, veterinary student, animal scientist, and experienced cat breeder.

        Bacteriophages in Health and Disease

        by Edited by Paul Hyman, Stephen T Abedon.

        Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria. As such, they have many potential uses for promoting health and combating disease. This book covers the many facets of phage-bacterial-human interaction in three sections: the role and impact of phages on natural bacterial communities, the potential to develop phage-based therapeutics and other aspects in which phages can be used to combat disease, including bacterial detection, bacterial epidemiology, the tracing of fecal contamination of water and decontamination of foods.

        Stress Response in Pathogenic Bacteria

        by Edited by Stephen Kidd.

        The ability of pathogenic bacteria to adapt to various chemical, biochemical and physical conditions within the human host and their ability to respond to stresses generated in these environments is a central feature of infectious diseases and the outcome of bacterial infection. This book covers the key aspects of this rapidly developing field, including the generation of stresses by the host immune system, bacterial response to reactive chemicals, and adaptation to environmental conditions of anatomical niches such as the gut, mouth and urogenital tract. It also addresses the increasing importance of different metal ions in the pathogenesis and survival of specific bacteria. With chapters by active research experts in the field, the book provides a comprehensive outline of the current understanding of this field, the latest developments and where future research is likely to be directed.
