Power Unseen
by Richard Dixon (W. H. Freeman Pub.)
A very readable book
divided into short chapters each only a few pages long. The book is ideal for
complete non-scientists and gives fascinating insights into the bacterial world
and how it has impacted upon our own, including the effect of Bacteria on the
founding of Israel, the ozone layer and innovative medical procedures.
The Outer
Reaches of Life by John Postgate (Canto - Cambridge University press)
This is an easy-to-understand guide to the more unusual places on
earth and what lives there. Places that are too hot or cold; have incredibly
high pressures; or have no organic food. The book ends with an excellent section
discussing the apparent immortality of bacteria and how they can sense and move
about.
Microbes and
Man by John Postgate
(Cambridge University press)
Less easy than Power
Unseen but still well worth looking at – most of the information is easily
followed with a few ideas that will be easier to grasp with knowledge of GCSE
chemistry. The book is arranged into large sections covering nutrition, decay
and pollution, microbes in society, and several other areas.
Biological Science
Edited by R. Soper (Cambridge University press)
A superb 'A' level textbook giving greater detail
on some of the subjects discussed.
