Human Health: The Contribution of Microorganisms is the first major work to concentrate on probiotics in humans. It presents both new and established data on the origins and importance of commensal floras, the history and characteristics of probiotics, the use of probiotics in clinical situations, and preclinical and volunteer studies. It also covers commercial issues such as the difficulties involved in the large scale production and formulation of live microorganisms, and the marketing techniques used to sell products containing bacteria. It contains contributions from internationally recognised experts in both science and industry.

Successful adaptation to climate change across scales (2005, background): “Yet the complex causal chain of behavioural feedbacks makes any such estimation of the effectiveness of public health interventions and the effectiveness of individual actions problematic (McMichael and Githeko, 2001; Kahn, 2003).”
American Risk Perceptions: Is Climate Change Dangerous? (2005, background): “…coli infections, giardia), or vector- and rodent-borne disease (e.g., malaria, West Nile Virus, Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome), all of which are potential health consequences of global climate change (McMichael & Githeko, 2001; National Assessment Synthesis Team, 2001; Patz et al., 2000).”
Flooding, vulnerability and coping strategies: local responses to a global threat (2003, background): “Also important to note are the potential mental health impacts of flooding resulting from stress (Durkin et al., 1993; McMichael et al., 2001) and the impact of inadequate nutrition following disruption to incomes and food distribution systems (Blaikie et al., 1994; IPCC, 2001b).”
Adaptation investments: a resource allocation framework (2010, background): “They focus on the physical and sometimes economic implications of climate change as they relate to specific sectors of the economy such as agriculture (Easterling et al. 2007), health (Confalonieri et al. 2007; McMichael et al. 2004) or coastal zones (Nicholls et al. 2007).”
Psychology and Global Climate Change: Addressing a Multi-faceted Phenomenon and Set of Challenges A Report by the American Psychological Association's Task Force on the Interface Between Psychology and Global Climate Change Members (2009, background): “The present report, following the lead of other climate change summaries (e.g., Confalonieri et al., 2007; Gilman, Randall, & Schwartz, 2007) works from the findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate change (IPCC) Working Group II’s conclusions about the high probability (67 to 95 percent…”
Climate change and sustainable development: expanding the options (2003, background): “…resources to respond to disease outbreaks and resources to diagnose and treat disease would promote health in general, regardless of the effects of climate change, and would reduce the population's vulnerability to the health impacts of future climate change (McMichael et al., 2001 ).”
Economy-Wide Estimates of the Implications of Climate Change: Human Health (2006, methodology): “Changes in morbidity and mortality are interpreted as changes in labour productivity and demand for health care, and used to shock the GTAP-E computable general equilibrium model, calibrated for the year 2050.”
Climate change impacts and adaptation in cities: a review of the literature (2011, background): “…such as vector or water borne disease at the city scale, though these are considered potentially important, particularly in developing countries (Confalonieri et al, 2007), where population density is high, current incidence rates are higher, and the scope for disease transmission is…”
Estimates of the Damage Costs of Climate Change, Part II. Dynamic Estimates (2002, background): “For dengue and schistosomiasis, only Martens et al. (1997) report model results. The same procedure was followed as above: the average of the estimated global change in death toll is assumed to hold for the relative, regional mortality taken from Murray and Lopez (1996). Table V shows the estimated ”
Time Perspective and Sustainable Behavior (2014, neutral): “…include more frequent water stress, desertification, heat waves, and flooding, contingent upon the ultimate degree of global temperature increase as well as geographical region (Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change [IPCC-AR4-WG2]; Confalonieri et al., 2007).”
