Healthcare training programs that require coursework in microbiology and immunology typically focus on diseases and maladies affecting the adult population, but many such issues can be traced to events in the critical window of development, the period from conception to puberty. Yet, nutrition is less often adequately discussed, even though it is a cornerstone of health during the critical window. This text fills these coverage gaps with an emphasis on nutrition, genetics, immunology, and the microbiome. The text also highlights events in the critical window, the importance of the interdependence of lifeforms, and major concepts that link the medical disciplines and basic biology. The initial six chapters focus on events within the critical window, including fetal and neonatal development, nutrition, and the role of the microbiome in health. It also discusses the impact of antibodies, regulatory factors, pathogens, pharmaceuticals, and environmental contaminants that are transferred to the fetus in utero or the infant through breast feeding. Special attention is given to internal protection provided by the innate and adaptive immune systems. An additional chapter is devoted to evaluating medical evidence (including drug and vaccine trials) and a concluding chapter discusses the myths, misconceptions, and controversies in healthcare. Appendix I is included for the student seeking more in-depth coverage of the underlying basic science such as molecular genetics, the role of meiosis and horizontal gene transfer in creating genetic diversity, and the genetics of adaptive immunity. Appendix I also describes the tools of biotechnology, while discussing bioengineering and modern vaccine development. Appendix II describes mammalian diversity and the value of animal models. Reflecting recent medical events, another appendix reviews the immuno-virology of COVID-19. Numerous figures and tables illustrate and extend the text, and a glossary helps the student navigate the thicket of common acronyms in these fields. Nutrition, Immunology, and Microbiology: The Critical Window of Development is an ideal textbook for professional healthcare training programs. J. E.

In Boysie's Horn, social historian, radio host, producer, journalist, and novelist Steven Leech highlights the influence of one of America's greatest jazz educators, Boysie Lowrie, in making African American Wilmington, Delaware a launchpad for national performers like vibraphonist Lem Winchester, trumpeter Clifford Brown, and vocalist Betty Roch . Reaching back to the turn of the twentieth century, Leech traces the social foundation and dynamic personalities who made Wilmington, like New Orleans and Kansas City, a place where Jazz came from. We meet bandleader Sam Wooding, who abandoned his career in pre-World War II Europe for one as a music teacher at Wilmington's Howard High when Clifford Brown was a student there. Leech also traces the systematic racism and economic forces that undermined Wilmington's cultural vibrance and led to the demise of the numerous jazz venues that had kept Wilmington jumpin' for eight decades. Jazz fans and researchers will delight in all the artists Leech name checks in this well-indexed record of bands, clubs, musicians, and social movers. This is a story that has needed to be told for a long time.

Go inside the making of the 2018 Clemson Tigers football team, the one that vaulted to the top and became the biggest thing in college football. From the beginning of the season, head coach Dabo Swinney's rallying cry was joy. Each week for opponents, though, was another joyless occasion against a big orange machine that found its high gear midseason. The results shook the foundation of college football. In 2015 and 2016, the Tigers needed to bring their own guts to achieve great things. In Swinney's 10th season, they brought their own sledgehammers. Author Larry Williams, who has covered Clemson and Swinney since 2004, unearths revealing anecdotes from Dabo's tenure like you've never seen before and shares how a season dominated by Alabama hype ended up overwhelmed by a Clemson tide and a new college football dynasty.

The 2015-16 season marked a significant moment in Clemson football history. Not only did the team play in its first national championship in thirty-four years, but the nation also finally took note of the burgeoning renaissance. When Dabo Swinney told a national television audience about his team's willingness to "bring your own guts" after an emotional win over Notre Dame, it was a spontaneous line to a television reporter in the delirious, rain-soaked aftermath of a landmark victory. But Swinney's comment also underscored the identity and drive that would fuel a truly special season. Larry Williams relays the intimate details of Swinney's life, his impact on Tiger Town and his mission to create an elite program on and off the field.
