editorial Dear readers, Here we go again with a new issue full of amazing contents. This month we start with our contributor Alakananda Mookerjee and a topic that is generating huge discussion: should the Internet be free? What would the pros and cons be? A conversation is now starting to bubble over novel modes of extending connectivity to those parts of the world where almost 4.5 million citizens remain unconnected, by beaming it down from space. Medicine is facing one of the most challenging problems of the century and the message of the World Health Organization could not be more clear: antibiotic resistance will kill 300 million people by 2050 if we do not find and develop new antibiotics. Ellie Pownall has been taking the pulse of the situation to bring some light; what future is awaiting us? Joe Baylis comes with a new energy concept that has been gaining a great deal of attention in the engineering community over the past year. Known as a “solar road”, it would essentially turn our transport infrastructure system into one huge renewable power station. Find out more in his article. Anthroposophic Medicine is a holistic therapy that treats the individual from an integral approach. Anette Bopp, one of the main experts in this field, has written the article we bring you in this issue. Finally, Olga Antczak, from the University of Lodz, has kindly shared with our readers her latest research about the extreme habitats of dragonfly development, a valuable scientific paper. Thanks for reading. And remember: comment, share and spread the word! 2 Mado Martinez Editorial Director Ispectrum magazine Published Bimonthly ISSN 2053-1869 Editorial Director Mado Martinez, [email protected] Art Director Rayna Petrova [email protected] Contributing Editors Matt Loveday [email protected] Ravinder Dhindsa Bradley Terblanche Jonathan Masters Jennifer James Contributing Writers Alakananda Mookerjee Ellie Pownall Joe Baylis Anette Bopp Olga Antczak Images Cover:OneWeb.net commons.wikimeadia.org morguefile.com freeimages.com www.ispectrummagazine.com [email protected] +44 7517 864 167 (UK) Follow Us
