January 2020Streptococcus (Group A), Third Edition
by Brian R. Shmaefsky, Ph.D. and Tara C. Smith, Ph.D.
Group A streptococci (Streptococcus pyogenes) are probably best known for causing streptococcal pharyngitis, or strep throat. But they also cause more kinds of disease than any other species of bacteria. Group A streptococci are responsible for diseases that range from mild skin conditions to scarlet fever to rheumatic fever to the devastating and sometimes deadly necrotizing fasciitis, commonly known as "flesh-eating bacteria." This revision of Streptococcus (Group A) examines the history, epidemiology, and future prospects for the ongoing battle against group A streptococci, and provides up-to-date information on research breakthroughs and the latest outbreaks of group A diseases. Updates include information on antibiotic resistance, current research on scarlet fever, and the progress on a vaccine. Chapters include: One Bacterium, Many Different Diseases Diagnosis and Treatment of the Group A Streptococcus Superficial Infections: Streptococcal Pharyngitis and Impetigo Scarlet Fever Resurgence of an Old Pathogen: Invasive Streptococcal Diseases Post-Streptococcal Complications Virulence Factors of Group A Streptococci Vaccine Prospects and the Future of the Group A Streptococcus.

January 2002Tante Julia und der Kunstschreiber
Roman
by Heidrun Adler, Mario Vargas Llosa
Mario Vargas Llosa, geboren 1936 in Arequipa/Peru, studierte Geistes- und Rechtswissenschaften in Lima und Madrid. Bereits während seines Studiums schrieb er für verschiedene Zeitschriften und Zeitungen und veröffentlichte erste Erzählungen, ehe 1963 sein erster Roman Die Stadt und die Hunde erschien. Der peruanische Romanautor und Essayist ist stets als politischer Autor aufgetreten und ist damit auch weit über die Grenzen Perus hinaus sehr erfolgreich. Zu seinen wichtigsten Werken zählen Das grüne Haus, Das Fest des Ziegenbocks, Tante Julia und der Schreibkünstler und Das böse Mädchen. Vargas Llosa ist Ehrendoktor verschiedener amerikanischer und europäischer Universitäten und hielt Gastprofessuren unter anderem in Harvard, Princeton und Oxford. 1990 bewarb er sich als Kandidat der oppositionellen Frente Democrático (FREDEMO) bei den peruanischen Präsidentschaftswahlen und unterlag in der Stichwahl. Daraufhin zog er sich aus der aktiven Politik zurück. Neben zahlreichen anderen Auszeichnungen erhielt er 1996 den Friedenspreis des Deutschen Buchhandels und 2010 den Nobelpreis für Literatur. Heute lebt Mario Vargas Llosa in Madrid und Lima.
