Summary

Microbe Facts explores the vast and vital world of microbes, highlighting their profound impact on our planet and human health. This book emphasizes the interconnectedness of microbial diversity, ecological functions, and the microbe-human interface. Microbes are responsible for crucial biogeochemical cycles, like the carbon and nitrogen cycles, and influence everything from our immune systems to our susceptibility to infectious diseases. The book progresses from introducing key themes to exploring microbial roles in biogeochemical cycles, their impact on human health through the human microbiome, and practical applications like bioremediation. It uses a fact-based approach to present complex concepts, such as genomics and metagenomics, making it accessible to a broad audience. By understanding the ecological functions of microbes, we can better address contemporary challenges in environmental sustainability and human health.

    Having understood the exchange and what is exchanged, let us understand who participates in the exchange. This is the unique feature of Dharmic Leadership and separates the yagna from other forms of exchange such as barter and contract.In barter, only goods and services are exchanged. Personal beliefs do not matter. In contract, beliefs are either false or true. True beliefs make us respect the law, ethics, and morality. In yagna, inclusion of other people's beliefs allows our beliefs to expand and uncrumple the mind infinitely. As the mind expands, we become generous because we are content and content because we are ambitious. This makes yagna an exercise in transformation unlike contract, which is at best, an exercise in conversion. As belief shifts, so does behavior, and so does business.In Indian mythology, the female form is given to the constituents of the cultural body, that which can be exchanged. The male form is given to the psychological body, that which can transform. Brahma is who we are by default. We consume resources, power and knowledge and, so we chase the goddesses relentlessly. Discontentment makes us Shiva who grows indifferent to the goddess, until he realizes her value. Finally, as Vishnu, we discovers that we are also goddesses, that which can be consumed by others. Here gender is used as a metaphor to convey the complex relationship of mind and matter. We wonder what comes first: hunger or food? This gives rise to the question, who came first: god or goddess? Rig Veda says, 'They gave birth to each other, Daksha to Aditi and Aditi to Daksha.'In this chapter, we will study ambition through stories of Brahma and his sons, contentment through stories of Shiva and generosity through stories of Vishnu.

The novel delves into the complexities of their relationship, the consequences of wealth, and the pursuit of personal identity, all set against a backdrop of historical financial turmoil. The narrative challenges perceptions of truth and explores the tension between public and private lives.
