This book - an intellectual and political history of the ecology movement from its beginnings in the late nineteenth century to the present - provides the first thorough study of the origins and background of 'Green' politics which has in recent years carved out a significant political constituency throughout Europe and America. Anna Bramwell locates the roots of the ideas of the modern ecological movement in two distinct strands of the scientific community, the biological and economic, and then traces the intellectual contributions of biological and economic ecologists through movements in Germany and Britain during the twentieth century. She looks at the literary background ofecologism, focusing in particular on the works of Knut Hamsun and Henry Williamson, and describes the work of the most important biological ecologist, the German Ernst Haeckel. Bramwell then explores the German contribution to ecologism in science and literature, its existence as a hidden agenda in the Third Reich, and its cross-fertilization with Britain and America.

The Ecology of Mycobacteria principally emphasizes the ecological characteristics of the environmental mycobacteria. It is now well understood that the incidence and prevalence of potentially pathogenic mycobacteria is increasing in humans and animals. Further, proof that mycobacteria are normal inhabitants of drinking water distribution systems and household water systems, indicates that humans and animals are surrounded by mycobacteria and thus at risk. It is anticipated that the emphasis on ecology and routes of infection will result in a text of widespread use for clinicians and for research scientists in medicine, academia, and industry. In addition to identifying habitats and thereby sources of mycobacteria infecting humans and animals, the text identifies those mycobacterial characteristics that determine its range of habitats. Additionally, the text comments critically on the available methods to identify those protocols with values in mycobacterial research. In that manner, although there are no chapters specifically devoted to methods, superior methods for mycobacteria will be identified.
