Malaria is spread by mosquitos?

Ulick Stafford

We all know that malaria is an infectious disease spread by mosquitos. Female Anopheles mosquitos spread the infection, a microorganism called a plasmodium, when taking a blood meal. But as the quotation often attributed to Mark Twain says “What gets us into trouble is not what we don’t know. It’s what we know for sure that just ain’t so”. 
Malaria remains a serious illness in many parts of the world, blamed for 600,000 deaths per year. In this book Ulick Stafford investigates evidence about the mosquito-plasmodium hypothesis for its transmission and other potential causes or contributory factors. He looks at the early history of the illness. He reports on the early research of Laveran, Ross and Grassi who developed the accepted transmission story. The potential collateral damage caused by current treatment and prevention programmes are discussed. The contributory  effects of other factors, in particular malnutrition are introduced.

Vusimzi Ishmael Faku

How Did I Become a Liar? is a raw, honest, and deeply emotional memoir of a man who learned to hide behind lies long before he learned to speak with confidence. 
Vusimzi Ishmael Faku takes you on a powerful journey through childhood shame, rejection, stuttering, insecurity, and the silent battles no one ever saw. Each lie became a survival tool, a shield, and a mask — until the mask began to crack. 
This book exposes how lies can shape identity, relationships, destiny, and even how we see God. But it is not just a confession — it is a testimony of healing, transformation, forgiveness, and becoming the man truth was always calling him to be. 
If you've ever struggled with fear, acceptance, identity, or the shame of your past, this book will speak to your soul. It will challenge you, comfort you, and remind you that truth still sets us free — even after years of hiding.
