Yet today, with antibiotic-resistant superbugs implicated in as many deaths as HIV\/AIDS and malaria combined, the limits of these miracle drugs have become alarmingly clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt ground zero of the growing crisis is India, one of the world's largest consumers of antibiotics and a powerhouse in pharmaceutical manufacturing. In \u003cem\u003eA World of Resistance\u003c\/em\u003e, Assa Doron and Alex Broom draw on years of fieldwork in hospitals, in pharmacies, and on factory farms to examine the enormous social and environmental costs of overreliance on antibiotics. They show how an overtaxed healthcare system with limited oversight, widespread use of antibiotics in industrial agriculture, and the incessant dumping of pharmaceutical waste into waterways have created the ideal conditions for antibiotic-resistant microbes to grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs resistance spreads across India and beyond, Doron and Broom argue that the solution isn't to restrict access to antibiotics but to embrace culturally relevant forms of health education, indigenous practices, and policies grounded in social solidarity. Only then, the authors contend, is it possible to turn the page on India's precarious relationship with antibiotics and to address resistance globally before it is too late.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47562800660716,"sku":"9780674295612","price":66.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780674295612-a-world-of-resistance.jpg?v=1776987272"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/assa-doron.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
