Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WHAT WOULD A MICROBE TELL HUMANS IF WE COULD HEAR IT SPEAK? Would it be good to know HOW MICROBES CAN HELP YOU TO SURVIVE AND THRIVE today and in the future? What if microbes BRIEFLY AND EASILY could explain to you how they see the world and UNCOVER SECRETS OF LIFE? Archaeon AMi and bacterium BaMi are talking to Joe, a human. They are not only talking but HELPING HIM SURVIVE. SURVIVE coronavirus and three other infectious diseases that come his way. They are so severe that Joe comes very close to death. Is he fortunate enough to survive? Is the knowledge and EXPERIENCE OF DOCTORS and the 'magic' of his wife Linda's microbiome enough to save him? KNOWLEDGE IS POWER! This book will help you to better understand the world of microbes. It will help you to learn about the natural processes of life. The book will allow you to make timely and informed decisions about your health and the health of those you love. Bacteria have survived on our planet for billions of years. They live on Earth 64 million times longer than the Author of this book. There is a reason to listen to their survival experience! But how to do that? As an infectious diseases' specialist, working in academia for many years, the Author have looked deeper in the history! Back to the origins of life on our planet. Scientific achievements provide us this 3,5 billion year "look back" opportunity. So how do we communicate with microbes? Easy - using molecular signal language! The molecular communication between single cell organisms started even more than 3.5 billion years ago. This inter-cellular communication is present also in today's world. Molecular biologists and other scientists decrypt this oldest language using powerful research methods and tools. Many molecular methods are not invented by humans but taken from microbes. Two great examples are antibiotics and CRIPR-Cas9 gene editing technology. Latter is also known as Crispr, Crisper or "genetic scissors". These methods provide great possibilities to understand life much better. We can imagine how life looks from microbe's perspective or "through the eyes of a microbe". Not only imagine but also "talk to microbes" using molecular signal language! Reading this story, YOU WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE THE HUMAN WORLD FROM MICROBES' VIEWPOINT. Also, you will find out what a COVID-19 patient experiences, WITHOUT NEEDING TO RISK YOUR OWN HEALTH. It's time TO HELP OUR FRIENDLY MICROBES so they can do the job and improve our health and environment. All people should be better educated about microbes, viruses and health. This will enable us all to GAIN GREATER CONTROL OVER OUR HEALTH by making informed health decisions. Through their story AMi and BaMi are EMPOWERING suffering Joe. They are actually EMPOWERING HEALTH of all humans involved, including me and you. PREVENTION of diseases and their symptoms is so much CHEAPER THAN A CURE! Making wrong health decisions now may cost your health and even life in future! There are many prevention tools available now. The main one being RELIABLE AND TRUSTFULL INFORMATION. INVEST IN YOUR HEALTH NOW AND READ THIS BOOK! After reading this story you will understand viruses and microbes much better. Moreover, YOU WILL SEE CLEARLY WHICH HEALTH-RELATED TOPICS YOU NEED TO STUDY MORE. NOW IS THE TIME TO AVOID IMPENDING INFECTIONS. Microbes have the potential TO MAKE THIS WORLD A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE if WE HELP THEM.

Book excerpt: A fascinating exploration of symbiosis at the microscopic level and its radical extension of Darwinism Microbes have long been considered dangerous and disgusting-in short, "scum." But by forming mutually beneficial relationships with nearly every creature, be it alga with animals or zooplankton with zebrafish, microbes have in fact been innovative players in the evolutionary process. Now biologist and award-winning science writer Tom Wakeford shows us this extraordinary process at work. He takes us to such far-flung locales as underwater volcanoes, African termite mounds, the belly of a cow and even the gaps between our teeth, and there introduces us to a microscopic world at turns bizarre, seductive, and frightening, but ever responsible for advancing life in our macroscopic world. In doing so he also justifies the courage and vision of a series of scientists-from a young Beatrix Potter to Lynn Margulis-who were persecuted for believing evolution is as much a matter of interdependence and cooperation as it is great too-little-told tales of evolutionary science.

Book excerpt: Now in paperback, evolutionary biologist and science writer Alanna Collen’s stunning alarm call concerning the widely-ignored role our gut microbes play in our health and well-being. “Fascinating…. Everything you wanted to know about microbes but were afraid to ask.”— Kirkus Reviews (starred review) You are just 10% human. For every one of the cells that make up the vessel that you call your body, there are nine impostor cells hitching a ride. You are not just flesh and blood, muscle and bone, brain and skin, but also bacteria and fungi. Over your lifetime, you will carry the equivalent weight of five African elephants in microbes. You are not an individual but a colony. Until recently, we had thought our microbes hardly mattered, but science is revealing a different story, one in which microbes run our bodies and becoming a healthy human is impossible without them. In this riveting, shocking, and beautifully written book, biologist Alanna Collen draws on the latest scientific research to show how our personal colony of microbes influences our weight, our immune system, our mental health, and even our choice of partner. She argues that so many of our modern diseases—obesity, autism, mental illness, digestive disorders, allergies, autoimmunity afflictions, and even cancer—have their root in our failure to cherish our most fundamental and enduring relationship: that with our personal colony of microbes. The good news is that unlike our human cells, we can change our microbes for the better. Collen’s book is a revelatory and indispensable guide. Life—and your body—will never seem the same again.

Book excerpt: New York Times Bestseller New York Times Notable Book of 2016 • NPR Great Read of 2016 • Named a Best Book of 2016 by The Economist, Smithsonian, NPR's Science Friday, MPR, Minnesota Star Tribune, Kirkus Reviews, Publishers Weekly, The Guardian, Times (London) From Pulitzer Prize winner Ed Yong, a groundbreaking, wondrously informative, and vastly entertaining examination of the most significant revolution in biology since Darwin—a “microbe’s-eye view” of the world that reveals a marvelous, radically reconceived picture of life on earth. Every animal, whether human, squid, or wasp, is home to millions of bacteria and other microbes. Pulitzer Prize-winning author Ed Yong, whose humor is as evident as his erudition, prompts us to look at ourselves and our animal companions in a new light—less as individuals and more as the interconnected, interdependent multitudes we assuredly are. The microbes in our bodies are part of our immune systems and protect us from disease. In the deep oceans, mysterious creatures without mouths or guts depend on microbes for all their energy. Bacteria provide squid with invisibility cloaks, help beetles to bring down forests, and allow worms to cause diseases that afflict millions of people. Many people think of microbes as germs to be eradicated, but those that live with us—the microbiome—build our bodies, protect our health, shape our identities, and grant us incredible abilities. In this astonishing book, Ed Yong takes us on a grand tour through our microbial partners, and introduces us to the scientists on the front lines of discovery. It will change both our view of nature and our sense of where we belong in it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As we continue to live through a pandemic, all eyes are on microbes: an imperceptible and pervasive threat that hangs heavy on the air and clings to surfaces. But the reality of micro-organisms is far more diverse and life-sustaining than such a notion would have us believe (hence the title of this book). Not only are they omnipresent, but we are highly attuned to their workings – both in the world at large and right here within our own bodies. Meanwhile, cutting-edge microbiome research is changing our understanding of reality, challenging fundamental concepts of free will and individuality. Threaded through everything are microbes: the very glue that holds ecosystems together. This topical, engaging and original book counters the prevailing narrative of microbes as the bane of society, along the way providing much-needed clarity on the overwhelmingly beneficial role they play. We discover how the microbiome is highly relevant to environmental and social equity issues, while there’s also discussion about how microbes may influence our decisions: even the way we think about how we think may need to be revisited. Invisible Friends introduces the reader to a vast, pullulating cohort of minute life – friends you never knew you had.

Book excerpt: Explore the everyday miracle of the microscopic world With spectacular macro photography and microscope images, this ebook reveals a hidden, living world full of intricate structures beyond the naked eye. Included are the tiniest insects and spiders; but looking deeper, you will discover truly microscopic creatures--even bacteria and viruses. Earth is home to more microbes, and more different types of microbes, than any other living organism. Bacteria on Earth outweigh humans by 1,100 to 1; and without them, all world ecosystems would collapse. This ebook reveals this vital, unseen realm, but it includes large life-forms too, in extreme close-up, so that you can wonder at the beauty of a pollen grain, a butterfly egg, the spore of a fungus, and the nerve cell of a human. The spectacular imagery in Micro Life exploits cutting-edge technology, such as focus-stacked macro photographs, as well as micrographs (microscope images) including scanning electron micrographs. Illustrations nearby explain the science--from the workings of an insect's eye to how a plant "breathes" through its leaves. The biology builds into a reference on how life works--and how all organisms, however small, solve the basic problems of movement, reproduction, energy, communication, and defense. Micro Life is a beautiful and surprising look at the natural world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in a time of unprecedented scientific knowledge about the origins of life on Earth. But if we want to grasp the big picture, we have to start small—very small. That’s because the real heroes of the story of life on Earth are microbes, the tiny living organisms we cannot see with the naked eye. Microbes were Earth’s first lifeforms, early anaerobic inhabitants that created the air we breathe. Today they live, invisible and seemingly invincible, in every corner of the planet, from Yellowstone’s scalding hot springs to Antarctic mountaintops to inside our very bodies—more than a hundred trillion of them. Don’t be alarmed though: many microbes are allies in achieving our—to say nothing of our planet’s—health. In Planet of Microbes, Ted Anton takes readers through the most recent discoveries about microbes, revealing their unexpected potential to reshape the future of the planet. For years, we knew little about these invisible invaders, considering them as little more than our enemies in our fight against infectious disease. But the more we learn about microbes, the more it’s become clear that our very lives depend on them. They may also hold the answers to some of science’s most pressing problems, including how to combat a warming planet, clean up the environment, and help the body fight off a wide variety of diseases. Anton has spent years interviewing and working with the determined scientists who hope to harness the work of microbes, and he breaks down the science while also sharing incredible behind-the-scenes stories of the research taking place everywhere from microbreweries to Mars. The world’s tiniest organisms were here more than three billion years before us. We live in their world, and Planet of Microbes at last gives these unsung heroes the recognition they deserve.

Book excerpt: A natural history of the wilderness in our homes, from the microbes in our showers to the crickets in our basements Even when the floors are sparkling clean and the house seems silent, our domestic domain is wild beyond imagination. In Never Home Alone, biologist Rob Dunn introduces us to the nearly 200,000 species living with us in our own homes, from the Egyptian meal moths in our cupboards and camel crickets in our basements to the lactobacillus lounging on our kitchen counters. You are not alone. Yet, as we obsess over sterilizing our homes and separating our spaces from nature, we are unwittingly cultivating an entirely new playground for evolution. These changes are reshaping the organisms that live with us -- prompting some to become more dangerous, while undermining those species that benefit our bodies or help us keep more threatening organisms at bay. No one who reads this engrossing, revelatory book will look at their homes in the same way again.

Book excerpt: Council Oak introduced Dr. Shinya's work to the English-speaking world with its translation of The Enzyme Factor. Now, Council Oak is publishing Dr. Shinya's first original English-language book, The Microbe Factor in paperback after its success in cloth. In this follow-up to his bestseller Enzyme Factor, Dr. Shinya shows how bacteria work to produce enzymes and are thus key to keeping you healthy. He questions the currently popular approach of fighting disease with more and more pharmaceuticals and explains why his "Shinya Biozyme" programme for natural health works inside cells to cleanse and energize the body. Hiromi Shinya, MD, is one of the world's leading gastroenterologists whose book The Enzyme Factor has sold millions of copies in the United States, Japan and other countries. He pioneered the "Shinya Technique," the now-standard procedure for the removal of polyps from the colon without invasive surgery. Over a career of 40 years Dr. Shinya has treated thousands of patients. It has been his routine to get diet and nutrition histories from his patients and, by comparing this with the evidence of their colonoscopies, has developed a set of lifestyle and diet suggestions that will enable us to live a vital, healthy life into a good old age.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A scientific overview of the association of microbes with cheese, through the lens of select cheese varieties that result due to surface mold ripening, internal mold ripening, rind washing, cave aging, or surface smear rind development. Over the past decade, there has been explosive growth in the U.S. artisan cheese industry. The editor, Ms. Donnelly, was involved in developing a comprehensive education curriculum for those new to cheese making, which focused on the science of cheese, principally to promote cheese quality and safety. Many of the chapters in this book focus on aspects of that requisite knowledge. • Explains the process of transformation of milk to cheese and how sensory attributes of cheese are evaluated. • Provides an overview of cheese safety and regulations governing cheese making, both in the US and abroad, to ensure safety. • Explores how the tools of molecular biology provide new insights into the complexity of the microbial biodiversity of cheeses. • Examines the biodiversity of traditional cheeses as a result of traditional practices, and overviews research on the stability of the microbial consortium of select traditional cheese varieties. • Key text for cheese makers, scientists, students, and cheese enthusiasts who wish to expand their knowledge of cheeses and traditional foods.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This advanced textbook provides a unique overview of the microbial communities (normal indigenous microbiota) inhabiting those regions of the human body that are exposed to the external environment, including the skin, eyes, oral cavity and the respiratory, urinary, reproductive and gastrointestinal tracts. In order to understand why particular organisms are able to colonise an anatomical region and why the resulting microbial community has a particular composition, an ecological approach is essential. Consequently, the key anatomical and physiological characteristics of each body site are described throughout the book. The crucial roles of the indigenous microbiota in protecting against exogenous pathogens, regulating the development of our immune system and mucosae, and providing nutrients are also discussed. The involvement of these organisms in infections of healthy and debilitated individuals are discussed throughout and methods of manipulating the composition of the indigenous microbiota for the benefit of human health are also described.

Book excerpt: Allergies, asthma, obesity, acne: these are just a few of the conditions that may be caused—and someday cured—by the microscopic life inside us. The key is to understand how this groundbreaking science influences your health, mood, and more. In just the last few years, scientists have shown how the microscopic life within our bodies— particularly within our intestines—has an astonishing impact on our lives. Your health, mood, sleep patterns, eating preferences—even your likelihood of getting bitten by mosquitoes—can be traced in part to the tiny creatures that live on and inside of us. In Follow Your Gut, pioneering scientist Rob Knight pairs with award-winning science journalist Brendan Buhler to explain—with good humor and easy-to-grasp examples—why these new findings matter to everyone. They lead a detailed tour of the previously unseen world inside our bodies, calling out the diseases and conditions believed to be most directly impacted by them. With a practical eye toward deeper knowledge and better decisions, they also explore the known effects of antibiotics, probiotics, diet choice and even birth method on our children’s lifelong health. Ultimately, this pioneering book explains how to learn about your own microbiome and take steps toward understanding and improving your health, using the latest research as a guide.
