Five startling discoveries about how bacteria grow were recently made -- about 100 yr after they should have been made. Scientists back then misled themselves by not vetting out a new method for growing bacteria developed by a New Jersey woman while working in the Berlin lab of a soon-to-be Nobel Laureate. Oddly, he never used it. But everyone else did, and a faulty paradigm emerged from its use and is still in vogue today. The missed discoveries and faulty paradigm had little impact on the achievements of Science during the 20th Century but not so regarding those required in the 21st. The imbedded paradigm must be corrected if we are to effectively combat epidemics and bioterrorism. This is a true story told first hand of the discoveries and frustrations to correct this faulty paradigm.

Ten Bears to Destiny is about two young couples that find love and friendship during the early days of the 1800s. A young boy named Josh Johnson, traveling with his parents to a new frontier in the west meets and falls in love with a young beautiful Indian girl, Golden Swan. But another young girl, Mary Lee McKenzie, traveling in the same wagon train with young Josh, falls in love with him. To this mixture, there is added a mythical Great Bear whom is regarded by the Indians, living near the place where the wagon train sojourned for a short period, as a protector of the forest. In this story the young Indian maiden, Golden Swan, seeks love and is drawn towards young Josh Johnson, but when a young brave from the tribe learns of her interest in him, he interferes and a contest ensues between the two boys, which is used to decide the fate of the four youths who are involved. As the story unfolds, the two girls, rival, fight, and become friends while the Indian village is attacked and destroyed by the Great Bear. This is the story of how the destiny of not just one person, but of many generations to come are changed by the bravery and strength of a single person. Then, as our story moves forward, we are lead into a modern day situation where another group of young people are set into a challenge of their own by their peer pressures. They too have the opportunity to change their futures, . and to learn a story of their past. This is a story of how two religions that are set next to each other, indirectly examined and ultimately leads the group of young people to follow the truth which is in Jesus Christ, and how a young Indian boy grows to become a mighty preacher among his people, leading many of them to Christianity. It is a story of destinies. The destiny that leads to the one true destiny of all who come to worship the one true God. Are you ready to Fulfill Your Destiny?

AIDS. Ebola. "Killer microbes." All around us the alarms are going off, warning of the danger of new, deadly diseases. And yet, as Nancy Tomes reminds us in her absorbing book, this is really nothing new. A remarkable work of medical and cultural history, The Gospel of Germs takes us back to the first great "germ panic" in American history, which peaked in the early 1900s, to explore the origins of our modern disease consciousness. Little more than a hundred years ago, ordinary Americans had no idea that many deadly ailments were the work of microorganisms, let alone that their own behavior spread such diseases. The Gospel of Germs shows how the revolutionary findings of late nineteenth-century bacteriology made their way from the laboratory to the lavatory and kitchen, with public health reformers spreading the word and women taking up the battle on the domestic front. Drawing on a wealth of advice books, patent applications, advertisements, and oral histories, Tomes traces the new awareness of the microbe as it radiated outward from middle-class homes into the world of American business and crossed the lines of class, gender, ethnicity, and race. Just as we take some of the weapons in this germ war for granted--fixtures as familiar as the white porcelain toilet, the window screen, the refrigerator, and the vacuum cleaner--so we rarely think of the drastic measures deployed against disease in the dangerous old days before antibiotics. But, as Tomes notes, many of the hygiene rules first popularized in those days remain the foundation of infectious disease control today. Her work offers a timely look into the history of our long-standing obsession with germs, its impact on twentieth-century culture and society, and its troubling new relevance to our own lives.

Excerpt from Microbes and Men, to-Morrow's Topics Series The books aim at a large interpretation of the meaning of life. They call before the footlights, in front of the curtain, that playwright of all our affairs, - the microbe. Biology teaches that the determining factors in all lives belong to heredity and environment, but overlooks the fact brought out in these notes, that heredity and environment are dominated by the microbe. We became conscious of a step in progress when we were instructed not to look at men directly, but through the lenses of heredity and environment. These notes compound the microscope. They oblige us to focus through the lens of the microbe, when adjusting heredity and environment for purposes of obtaining a clear view of mankind. We are not far enough along with our knowledge of the chemistry of metabolism to describe concretely the influence of microbic toxins in our every-day affairs. Men who know most about the subject are the ones who are most afraid to speak at this' moment of rapidly changing knowledge. Such commendable caution belongs to the accurately scientific mind, but it is time right now for some sort of an angel to fly in where prudent men fear to tread. This idea gives me as large a charter as the wind. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This is the only book that tells both sides of the story of germs: that they are critically important for our health and that the dangers of emerging pathogens continue to wreak havoc in our bodies and around the world. With straight-forward and engaging writing, infectious diseases physician Phillip Peterson surveys how our understanding of viruses has changed throughout history, from early plagues and pandemics to more recent outbreaks like HIV/AIDS, Ebola, Zika, and Coronavirus. Microbes also takes on contemporary issues like the importance of vaccinations in the face of the growing anti-vaxxer movement, as well as the rise of cutting-edge health treatments like fecal transplants. Peterson relays his first-hand experience dealing with an unprecedented emergence of new microbial threats. Yet at the same time he has witnessed the astounding recent discoveries of the crucial role of the microbes that colonize our body surfaces in human health. Microbes explains for general readers where these germs came from, what they do to and for us, and what can be done to stop the bad actors and foster the benefactors.

Our bodies contain ten times more bacteria than cells and their activity is essential for our organisms. A true symbiosis exists between humans and microbes, the complex mechanisms of which can only be decoded using molecular genetics. However these bacteria can also cause infectious and parasitic diseases which kill over 15 million people a year throughout the world. To develop effective treatments and vaccines for such diseases, scientists need to know how bacteria outmanoeuvre the body’s defence mechanisms and how to decipher the rules of war and peace between microbes and humans.

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.
