DESCRIPTION:
. David Wooster is a scientist and writer. in biochemistry from Montana State University in 2002 and has published research on cystic fibrosis and childhood meningitis. He earned his Ph.D
"History and Science by stealth" according to Tony Wilson. I was never a fan of history at school but if it had been taught this way maybe Wooster spanned centuries and continents in rhis account of how the good and bad microbes influenced history. He has a sort of mad-professorial style in keeping with the main character. The story does jump around a lot and contains many amusing spelling and grammar glitches [1] but for the most part flows easily.I particularly enjoyed the hundreds of endnotes, which make up about a quarter of the volume and make an interesting side-journey on their own. By linking the endnotes in both directio. Five Stars Kathy's Gardens Very informational.
. From the AuthorIF you have ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes in a medical research laboratory at a small university -- the kinds of problems that can crop up, various personalities working together in confined spaces, funding that threatens to dry up and derail dreams -- then reading this book could be time well spent
"Cystic Fibrosis & the Brewer's Yeast: A Microbiology Tale" is the full-length novel and contains within it "Secret Life of the Brewer's Yeast: A Microbiology Tale" and "The Secret Life of Water: A Microbiology Tale".. The story of how microbes and the diseases they cause have come to influence our modern everyday world, sometimes over thousands of years, a guide to ancient history, and the personal memoir of one microbiologist's attempts to gain tenure at his small college in Montana all woven into one book as told by the scientist. By the time you finish reading the fourth and final part, you'll know not only the history of brewing, wine making, and baking bread, but also how the 3-atom molecule called "water" is necessary for all biological systems on Earth from the simplest bacteria to trees & human beings, what proteins are and why they are the most important molecules in your body, the connection between cholera & cystic fibrosis, and how all living cells obtain energy from their environmentthis and much much more
