Breakthrough bioscience and its implications: 3 extraordinary boks take you to the cutting edge of biology, genetics, evolution, and human health Three remarkable books take you to the cutting edge of biology, genetics, evolution, and human health — explaining the newest science, and revealing its incredible implications! Germs, Genes, & Civilization: How Epidemics Shaped Who We Are Today reveals how microbes have shaped our health, genetics, history, culture, politics, religion and ethics… and how they’re shaping our future right now. Allies and Enemies: How the World Depends on Bacteria offers an even closer look at humans’ intimate partnership with bacteria… how they keep you alive, how they can kill you, and how we can all live together happily in peace. Finally, in It Takes a Genome: How a Clash Between Our Genes and Modern Life Is Making Us Sick, Greg Gibson explains today’s explosion in chronic disease through a revolutionary new hypothesis: our genome is out of equilibrium with itself, its environment, and modern culture.

Is the five-second rule legitimate? Are electric hand dryers really bacteria blowers? Am I spraying germs everywhere when I blow on my birthday cake? How gross is backwash? When it comes to food safety and germs, there are as many common questions as there are misconceptions. And yet there has never been a book that clearly examines the science behind these important issues—until now. In Did You Just Eat That? food scientists Paul Dawson and Brian Sheldon take readers into the lab to show, for example, how they determine the amount of bacteria that gets transferred by sharing utensils or how many microbes live on restaurant menus. The authors list their materials and methods (in case you want to replicate the experiments), guide us through their results, and offer in-depth explanations of good hygiene and microbiology. Written with candid humor and richly illustrated, this fascinating book will reveal surprising answers to the most frequently debated—and also the weirdest—questions about food and germs, sure to satisfy anyone who has ever wondered: should I really eat that?

Bacteria are invisible, mysterious, deadly, self-sufficient…and absolutely essential for all life, including yours. No other living things combine their elegant simplicity with their incredibly complex role: Bacteria keep us alive, supply our food, and regulate our biosphere. We can’t live a day without them, and no chemical, antibiotic, or irradiation has ever successfully eradicated them. They’re our partners, like it or not--even though some of them will happily kill us. Allies and Enemies tells the story of this amazing, intimate partnership. Authored by Anne Maczulak, a microbiologist who’s hunted and worked with an extraordinary array of bacteria, this book offers a powerful new perspective on Earth’s oldest creatures. You’ll discover how bacteria work, how they evolve, their surprising contributions and uses, the roles they’ve played in human history, and why you can't survive without them. No form of life is more important, and in Maczulak’s hands, none is more fascinating. Outlasted, outnumbered, outsmarted They’ve been here four billion years--and they even outnumber you in your own body How bacteria keep you alive… …and how to keep them from killing you “Humans Defeat Germs!” But not for long… The Invisible Universe The stunning hidden relationships between bacteria and the rest of nature

Should educators pay students? Should they make them wear sunglasses, regulate their clothing, allow them to bring animals into classrooms, discourage them from playing videogames, or transform their schools into gymnasiums? These are some of the suggestions that Cockeyed Education examines. This book enables readers to differentiate substantive from cockeyed suggestionsfor improving schools.. It directs them to the suggestions that scholastic experts, politicians, and members of the public have made. Additionally, it introduces them to the case method. It helps them apply this analytical technique to events that range from early Chicago schooling to the 2009 economic stimulus package.

3 remarkable books reveal the latest scientific discoveries about addiction, antibiotic-resistant disease, bacteria — and you These three remarkable books take you to the cutting edge of health science, revealing today’s most powerful scientific discoveries about addiction, antibiotic-resistant disease, and bacteria. In The Addicted Brain, leading neuroscientist Michael Kuhar, Ph.D. explains how and why addiction destroys lives, and presents the latest advances in treatment and prevention. Using breathtaking brain imagery and other research, Kuhar reveals the powerful, long-term brain changes that drugs can cause, explaining why it can be so difficult for addicts to escape them. He describes why some people are unusually susceptible to addiction; illuminates striking neural similarities between drugs and pleasures ranging from alcohol and gambling to sex and caffeine; and outlines the 12 characteristics most often associated with successful treatment. Next, in Antibiotic Resistance: Understanding and Responding to an Emerging Crisis, Karl S. Drlica and David S. Perlin presents a thorough and authoritative overview of the growing resistance of pathogenic bacteria to antibiotics, and what this means to our ability to control and treat infectious diseases. The authors answer crucial questions such as: What is resistance? How does it emerge? How do common human activities contribute to resistance? What can we do about it? Are there better ways to discover new antibiotics? How can we strengthen our defenses against resistance, minimize public health risks and extend the effectiveness of the antibiotics we have? Finally, in Allies and Enemies, Anne Maczulak tells the story of the amazing, intimate partnership between humans and bacteria. Offering a powerful new perspective on Earth’s oldest creatures, Maczulak explains how bacteria work, how they evolve, their surprising contributions and uses, the roles they’ve played in human history – and why you can't survive without them.

細菌，一種微小到看不見也摸不著的生物。但你知道嗎？我們的生活中幾乎遍佈著細菌，從居家用品到食物中，甚至飲用水，都存在著為數眾多的細菌。 有些細菌的生命週期相當短暫，僅僅20分鐘就能從一隻細菌分裂成為2隻細菌，展開全新的生命旅程。有的細菌則是被深埋在土壤裡長達數千年，直到適合的時間再恢復生機，伺機活躍。 在人類史前洞穴的遺跡上，並沒有任何細菌的線索，直到約一萬年前的某天，某個人類部落決定就地建立起一個永久居住的基地。從那時起，便有一種名為「細菌」的生物開始困擾著人類。從瘟神、瘴氣、無害的小動物到必須要除去的有害生物，它們每個時代都在變換著新的稱呼。 起初，人類對細菌視而不見，直到後來，人類越來越難以忽視細菌所帶來的困擾，於是不得不處理。從樂觀地以為可以戰勝細菌，到腹背受敵岌岌可危，這個過程千迴百轉。 現在，就讓我們一起進入這段漫長的抗菌之路。 前言 第一章：瘟神？病魔？那些遠古傳說 01 走出非洲，擺脫蚊蟲 02 城市就是細菌的溫床 03 從自然療法到求救於科學 第二章：嗨～初次見面的細菌 04 可怕的黑死病！ 05 為顯微鏡癡狂的雷文霍克 06 牙垢裡的「小動物們」 第三章：消毒，如此重要！ 07 醫院不是個乾淨衛生的地方 08 醫生的手是絕對乾淨的！ 09 造成感染的真兇 10 因釀酒而揭開的真相 11 英俊醫生樹立的醫療規矩 第四章：都給我好好清潔環境！ 12 清潔近乎美德 13 公共衛生觀念的興起 第五章：尋找對抗細菌的神奇子彈 14 細菌不是個壞東西 15 人類對細菌的宣戰 16 我們需要「神奇子彈」！ 第六章：抗生素的誕生 17 抗生素的開端 18 青黴素的問世 第七章：抗生素的商業化之路 19 使用青黴素來救治病患 20 青黴素的量產 21 第一個成功商業化的抗生素 第八章：突如其來的抗藥性 22 突然失效的抗生素 23 金黃色葡萄球菌的逆襲 24 暫時的抗菌武器 第九章：首位被封為「超級細菌」的MRSA 25 超級細菌登場 26 當感染失去控制 27 束手無策的人類 第十章：逮到千萬分之一機率就進化的超級細菌 28 當抗生素被濫用 29 細菌翻身的機會 30 細菌的性生活 31 噬菌體的考驗 第十一章：超級細菌有多「超級」？ 32 是誰帶壞了細菌？ 33 細菌基因的自由交流 第十二章：無害的細菌也變超級細菌 34 好菌變壞菌 35 不斷擴充技能的超級細菌 36 快速進化的抗藥性 第十三章：細菌的古老宿敵噬菌體 37 寄生在細菌體內的病毒 38 噬菌體的完美感染技能 39 以毒攻毒，以噬菌體攻細菌 40 抵禦抗藥性的重重困難 第十四章：溶解超級細菌的抗菌肽 41 抗菌肽登場 42 青蛙皮膚上的殺菌好東西 43 抓到細菌的要害了！ 44 抗藥性的問題解決了嗎？ 45 開發新藥物的風險 第十五章：催眠超級細菌的訊號肽 46 擅於躲藏的金黃色葡萄球菌 47 是誰在背後指使細菌？ 48 試圖干擾細菌 第十六章：占地盤先搶先贏的益生菌 49 難以定居在腸胃的益生菌 50 從便便中找出一線希望 51 益生菌比抗生素有效 52 益生菌上線啦！ 53 醫療用益生菌需要付出的代價 第十七章：農場裡的超級細菌 54 讓動物快速生長的抗生素 55 降低成本才是最重要的 56 在動物身上濫用抗生素 第十八章：用益生菌取代抗生素的艱難旅程 57 抗藥性再次逆襲 58 益生菌與抗生素的拉鋸戰 59 益生菌的商業之路 60 結語 第十九章：附錄 61 附錄1：抗生素如何發揮功效？ 62 附錄2：滅菌、消毒、殺菌、抗菌和靜菌 63 附錄3：滅菌與消毒的實際應用 64 參考資料

也許你試過許多減重計畫，可能是大幅度減少攝取的熱量，可能是要忍受挨餓，或是要做長期、高強度的運動。而這些，都不是本書要討論的方式。 本書提倡的方法是「練菌瘦身法」。 根據數十年來人體微生物組計畫中「腸道細菌」的研究結果，用重新建立腸道生態循環的方式，引導腸道細菌放棄儲存不必要的能量，進而幫助你瘦身。 「練好菌瘦身法」在一開始對於飲食就有截然不同的認知，把目標從「吃下的熱量」轉移到「食物的消化」和「熱量的吸收」，以及最重要的：藉由身體的滿足感來阻斷源源不絕的食慾。 我們將帶你重新認識身體中的30兆個人體細胞，以及寄宿在身體裡的40兆個腸道細菌。 當你成為一個好領主，管理好你的領地，帶領它們過著豐盛而且富足的生活，那麼他們就不會再焦慮地驅動你進食；當你吃飽喝足之後，它們也不會再拼命呼籲你儲存脂肪。它們將放心地把能量用在繁殖，並以排便的方式離開你，到大自然中去進行它們下一段的冒險旅程。 這樣你就可以放心地正常飲食、享受美味，你吃進去的熱量它們會帶走，而你的體重也可以減少。 總之，傳統的低卡熱量減肥法會餓死你，高強度的運動減肥法會讓你吃更多，暴飲暴食會拖垮你的內分泌系統。只有確實了解身體內部的生態，依照生命的規則投其所好，正常飲食就能減少熱量吸收。 希望在接下來的章節中，你可以了解伴隨你一生的細胞與腸道菌，並在減重的同時，兼顧飲食的美味。 我有信心「練好菌瘦身法」可以幫助你達成減重的目標，並且享受健康的生活。 【PART 1】前言 01 破除減重迷思 02 關於減重的全新思考 【PART 2】肥胖的起源—食慾 03 人體內的生態王國 04 認識與進食有直接關係的細胞 05 腸道與大腦同等地位 06 人體細胞與腸道細胞的共生契約 【PART 3】食物的消化之旅 07 口腔 08 吞嚥 09 胃 10 小腸 11 大腸 12 糞便 13 細菌與腸道互動的重要性 【PART 4】食慾受到腸道細菌控制 14 開啟探索腸道之路 15 細菌與腸道細胞的「溝通」 16 拒絕好好溝通的細菌 17 腸道細菌讓你吃個不停 【PART 5】抗生素的肥胖風暴 18 讓農場動物增胖的魔法藥品 19 被大量使用的抗生素 20 當抗生素被濫用 21 抗生素讓動物變胖的真相 【PART 6】腸道裡的生態系 22 體內的小生命驅使我們進食 23 吃或不吃，都會胖 24 沒有極限的腸道菌 25 讓我們準備開始「練菌飲食法」 【PART 7】練菌飲食提案 26 練好菌核心觀念（1）：找回味覺 27 練好菌核心觀念（2）：認識飲食法 28 通用的健康瘦身方案 29 練菌飲食並不是極端飲食 【PART 8】練菌飲食實踐 30減重20公斤的練好菌瘦身流程 31 重新確認味覺 32 觀察既有飲食習慣 33 漸進式練菌飲食，一次只改變一種食材 34 練菌飲食，執行單一食材餐點 35 達到減重目標後，進行健康檢查 36 針對不同情境的調整方式 37 練菌食材組合 【PART 9】結語 38 人生最後一次減重計畫 重點回顧 運動會讓我們食慾大增，消耗的熱量容易迅速回補；節食會讓我們飢餓，在短暫瘦下來後容易迅速復胖。 食物的熱量並不會全部吸收，而食物的消化、熱量的吸收、飢餓感的形成，才是我們發胖的真正原因。 我們的大腦根本無法抵抗食慾的原因，因為，腸道細胞才是身體最原始的主人。無論我們願不願意接受這些熱量，腸道菌們都會忠實地依照古老的契約給我們更多的熱量。 我們吃進去的食物其中有20～30%的熱量是這些細菌消化後提供的！ 在餵食老鼠多形擬桿菌後的第14天，老鼠的平均脂肪儲存量提升了60%！無論是減少老鼠30%進食或者增加30%老鼠代謝率，結果都是變胖。這代表多形擬桿菌能夠讓老鼠從有限的食物中取得更多的熱量。 當外界食物匱乏時，多形擬桿菌會向腸道細胞索取食物，幫我們消耗熱量；反之，當外界食物充裕時，它們就會努力從食物中榨取熱量，並提供我們更多的熱量。 當菌種分佈不均勻的時候，特定的菌種獨佔腸道疆域，這個菌種就能長期統治我們的腸道，並且經常向我們發出特定食物的訂單，而這個訂單就是促使我們想吃特定食物的食慾。 我們可以用意志力克服一時的食慾，但腸道內的細菌可不會輕易地妥協。 低劑量的抗生素就能讓農場動物的生長速度增加一倍，而這個增胖魔藥的關鍵就是抗生素能夠長期的影響腸道菌。只要練出肥胖菌，就能讓我們發胖。 腸道菌的菌種越多樣，針對不同食物的消化和吸收形式越複雜，能從食物榨取出最多營養的細菌也越無法獲得繁衍的優勢。各種腸道菌們針對自己擅長的食物各取所需，和平共處。 當從食物榨取出最多養分的菌種獲得優勢，它們會快速繁殖，然後回饋到我們身上的養分就會更多。於是，只要我們的意志力無法戰勝這些細菌傳遞給你的食慾，體重就會增加了。 高效率把食物轉化成熱量的腸道菌，也就是導致我們發胖的菌種們，是「肥胖菌」；不會硬從食物中榨取過多熱量的菌種們，是「瘦身菌」。肥胖菌讓我們持續肥胖，瘦身菌讓我們維持體重。 我們的身體是一個獨立的生態系，這個生態系需要我們花心思去認識和溝通。當我們理解到這是體內的小生命為了生存而做出的自動調節，我們就可以明白單純的卡路里計算、節食計畫和運動計畫，都是徒勞無功的。 當我們吃的食物差異性越大，腸道菌適應時間就越長，而我們就可以在短時間內減少腸道菌反饋給我們的熱量。 當我們餐餐均衡飲食，我們的腸道菌就能抓到最有效率的方法，從食物中榨取能量。只要它們提高10%的吸收效果，我們就得少吃10%的食物，否則就會發胖。 採取「練菌飲食法」，餐餐更換食材，體內的腸道菌就會專注地去適應不同類型的食物，減少反饋熱量給我們。一整天下來，就能兼顧到均衡營養，並且達到瘦身的效果。
