Microbes ΓÇô canΓÇÖt live with them, canΓÇÖt live without them. Increasingly, weΓÇÖre finding out that our microbiota (the microbes that live on us) are essential for our wellbeing ΓÇô they provide us with nutrients and vitamins and play a key role in developing our immune system.  On the other hand, they are responsible for a great deal of misery, as they are major causes of death and debility around the world. As well as our own microbiota turning against us, there are lots of other microbes out in the wider world that can seriously damage, or even kill, those they infect. The current pandemic of COVID-19 shows the devastating effect that an infectious disease can have ΓÇô our lives have been turned upside down.If you live in a developed country, youΓÇÖre not likely to get killer diseases such as ebola and cholera, but you do have a high chance of catching other infections that can have a significant impact on your wellbeing. This book focuses on those infections youΓÇÖre most likely to go down with, and supplies the answers to the following questions about them:Which infectious diseases are we likely to come across?How common are they?  What microbes cause them?  What happens to our bodies during an infection? How are the resulting illnesses treated?How can we avoid getting them? This book covers nearly 60 infectious diseases that people living in developed countries are likely to experience at some point during their life.

Each chapter is lavishly illustrated, has interesting, relevant inserts, and provides a list of web-accessible suggestions for further reading.

Daidalos was a polymath who foreshadowed Leonardo da Vinci by 3,000 years and was famed as an artist, inventor, scientist and engineer. Despite his many talents and his contributions to the advancement of humanity, his interactions with those he knew resulted in mayhem, and this is what makes his life so fascinating. First of all, he was responsible for the death of three close relatives - his son, his sister and his nephew. Secondly, his actions resulted in the death of King Minos who was a son of Zeus. Thirdly, he was involved in both the creation and destruction of the monstrous bull-human hybrid known as the minotaur. Finally, the lives of two of the most important women of Crete, Queen Pasiphae (the daughter of the sun god, Helios) and her daughter, Ariadne, were devastated by his interventions. It could be argued that his actions contributed to the downfall of the Minoan civilization and its subjugation by the Mycenaeans. This book is the story of his fascinating life, the times in which he lived and the legacy he has left us.

Poetry. Michael's poetic account of his journey through the effects of drug use and mental illness moves through stages of psychosis, wellness, care in the community and catharsis. There is a probing of the dark places with humour, grace and wisdom whilst reaching for the light. Poetically free and fearless, it follows its own inner rhythms--shaping text and space, to produce something quite remarkable. Humbling, compassionate, bold, this account reveals what it is to find a true moral compass through the darkest of times.

Donald Trump is nothing short of remarkable. He has redefined politics for a generation and completely upended the image of a politician. Lies, a history of making unwanted sexual advances, complete lack of integrity and intelligence Ð these are traits that would immediately disqualify anyone else from working in a factory.

Donald Trump, the 45th President of the United States, will be forever recorded in our history books. He Made America Great Again: The Complete Case for Donald TrumpÕs Presidency is our small contribution to that history. Read on as we break down, in great detail, all the ""reasons"" Trump has made America great again and ""deserves"" to be President of the United States.
