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.

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: They're everywhere. Silent and invisible to the naked eye, they're on everything we touch, eat, breathe -- on every single inch of our skin. And despite the remarkable advances of science, germs are challenging medicine in ways that were unimaginable just a decade ago. Due to an explosion of infections never before reported in modern history and a new germ horror story surfacing every week, it's no small wonder that we're frightened -- and that antibacterial soaps are a billion-dollar business. Now, renowned microbiologist Philip Tierno cuts through the media hype with the compulsively readable Secret Life Of Germs, revealing exactly where the greatest threats may be hiding. The Secret Life Of Germs provides an inside view of this fascinating and elegantly ordered microscopic world -- from the common cold, E. coli, and Lyme disease to encephalitis, mad cow disease, and anthrax. It takes readers on a historical survey of the culprits of disease and explores the effect that they -- and the scientists who study them -- have had on our world. Rising above the common scare-tactic techniques used by many authors, Dr. Tierno's message is an optimistic one. Recognizing that humans are more often than not the main spreaders of disease, he offers numerous protective response strategies -- health and hygiene tips for inside and outside the home, advice on food safety, and pointers on human contact -- to stop the transmittal. Filled with practical and enlightening information, The Secret Life Of Germs is an engaging book that will keep readers mesmerized while helping them stay healthy.

Book excerpt: One of the key takeaways from this book is the interconnectedness of all life on our planet. From the microbes that drive nutrient cycling in the soil to the microbes that help us digest our food, every organism is part of a larger web of life that is sustained by the countless interactions and relationships between them. Understanding these relationships and how they contribute to the health of our planet and our own bodies is essential for our survival and the survival of all life on Earth. Another important theme that emerges from this book is the need to approach the study and management of microbes with caution and humility. While microbes are often viewed as a nuisance or a threat to human health, they are also integral to the functioning of our planet and are essential for our survival. Misunderstanding or mistreating these organisms can have far-reaching and unpredictable consequences, as we have seen with the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and the destruction of microbial habitats due to human activities. As our understanding of the microbial world continues to deepen, we must prioritize the protection and preservation of these often-overlooked organisms. This means promoting sustainable practices that support healthy microbial communities, investing in research that expands our knowledge of their roles and relationships, and developing policies that prioritize the protection of microbial habitats and the prevention of harmful microbial interactions. Finally, The Hidden World of Microbes serves as a reminder of the incredible beauty and complexity of the natural world, and the importance of continued exploration and discovery. While we have made great strides in understanding the microbial world in recent decades, there is still so much we have yet to discover and learn. By continuing to study and appreciate the hidden world of microbes, we can deepen our understanding of the natural world and work towards a more sustainable and harmonious future for all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The videographer behind the Journey to the Microcosmos YouTube channel (386K subscribers) James Weiss presents a beginner's guide to the extremely small and utterly strange life that surrounds us. James Weiss was feeling lost in life when he first discovered his interest in the microscopic world. With his own microscope and a little homespun ingenuity, he began to capture thousands of hours of stunning footage of the creatures that he found around him: the local pond, at the beach, in a puddle. What he found astounded him, and it became his mission to reveal the beauty of the microcosmos to everyone. In his fun and accessible style, interspersed with otherworldly photographs, James presents this beginner's guide to the invisible life that surrounds us. From the most simple single-celled life, to complex micro-animals, James reveals the secrets of a world that we rarely consider. Navigating the births, feasts, tragedies, idiosyncracies and deaths of a cast of tiny characters, learn how these lifeforms work and what lessons they can teach us about our own existence. Mixing scientific detail with thoughtful musings that betray the fascination at the heart of his topic, James has created a way of looking at microorganisms in an empathetic and engaging style. You'll discover fascinating absurdities: that a cell can be both its own daughter and its own mother. That immortality really does exist, and it comes in the form of a teeny, tentacled medusa. And that seeing the wonder of nature from a new perspective can literally save your life.
