The Other End of the Microscope by Elmer W. Koneman
Call Number: QR74.8 .K664 2002
ISBN: 9781555812270
Publication Date: 2002
This entertaining book offers a unique and fascinating look at the relationship between bacteria and humans, told from the bacteria's perspective. Gathered at an imaginary assembly, the microbes compare notes on their history and current coexistence with humans, from their own view of pathogenesis to the often derogatory manner in which humans assign their names. The Other End of the Microscope provides readers with clever sketches of a variety of microbes. Their internal structure, niches and habitats, physiology, modes of survival, association with human diseases, and mechanisms of antibiotic resistance are covered, all from the bacterial point of view. Readers will be delighted by the antics of these bacteria and will gain new insights into the activities of this hidden world, where microbes can ultimately protect themselves against virtually any natural or human-invented adversity. The fantasy culminates in a session at which the bacteria have a contest to rename Homo sapiens in an attempt to sensitize humans to be more prudent in the naming of future species of bacteria, accentuating their positive, rather than negative, qualities. In turning the tables Dr. Koneman offers a unique way to see the world from a different perspective. Scientists, students and teachers, and the science-interested lay public will all be captivated, entertained, and educated by this extraordinary tale.
