  From a prominent medical historian, “a fascinating story of the spread of malaria through the USA following its introduction in the seventeenth century” (Nature Medicine). 
   
  Margaret Humphreys presents the first book-length account of the parasitic, insect-borne disease that has infected millions and influenced settlement patterns, economic development, and the quality of life at every level of American society, especially in the south and during its peak in the nineteenth century. 
   
  Humphreys approaches malaria from three perspectives: the parasite’s biological history, the medical response to it, and the patient’s experience of the disease. It addresses numerous questions including how the parasite thrives and eventually becomes vulnerable, how professionals came to know about the parasite and learned how to fight it, and how people view the disease and came to the point where they could understand and support the struggle against it. 
   
  In addition Malaria: Poverty, Race, and Public Health in the United States argues that malaria control was central to the evolution of local and federal intervention in public health, and demonstrates the complex interaction between poverty, race, and geography in determining the fate of malaria.

  All of us come from childhood. All of us came from this magical land and started our adult path from there. And in this land, our nearest and dearest people were giving help to us; these are our parents. Thanks to them, we were learning about the world, learning to understand it and live in it. For better or worse, they are the persons who also gave us first lessons of pain, disappointment, and sometimes - suffering. Childhood grievances against the dearest people often transferred to all other people; they bring the deepest drama, and that’s why the parents are the exact people whom you can hardly forgive sometimes.

  The Biggest Number in the World...

  From cells in our bodies to measuring the universe, big numbers are everywhere 
   
  We all know that numbers go on forever, that you could spend your life counting and never reach the end of the line, so there can’t be such a thing as a ‘biggest number’. Or can there? 
   
  To find out, David Darling and Agnijo Banerjee embark on an epic quest, revealing the answers to questions like: are there more grains of sand on Earth or stars in the universe? Is there enough paper on Earth to write out the digits of a googolplex? And what is a googolplex? 
   
  Then things get serious. 
   
  Enter the strange realm between the finite and the infinite, and float through a universe where the rules we cling to no longer apply. Encounter the highest number computable, infinite kinds of infinity and ask whether one infinity can be greater than another. At every turn, a cast of wild and wonderful characters threatens the status quo with their ideas, and each time the numbers get larger.

  Accepted Science & Paradigms...

  As an engineer and student of science I try to keep up with publications of the latest discoveries and paradigm shifts in science around the world. 
  I believe that there are several big problems with science today. First is that much science is biased which might be because some scientists want to keep their point of view prominent and the others because many focuses of science are supported by biased funding. This will be discussed in this book. 
  The other issue is that many scientists limit their thinking to only support age old paradigms and refuse to accept changes to their theories or throw out evidence because it doesn’t conform their current beliefs. 
  In this book we will cover many issues such as the belief among many cosmologists that the Big Bang never happened. 
  We will also look at ideas we thought settled but which have lots of contrary evidence and anecdotal counter stories such as time travel and dimensional crossings. 
  After you read this book you may question much of what is commonly accepted by scientists in the world today.
