    Making Peace with MicrobesPublic sanitation and antibiotic drugs have brought about historic increases in the human life span; they have also unintentionally produced new health crises by disrupting the intimate, age-old balance between humans and the microorganisms that inhabit our bodies and our environment. As a result, antibiotic resistance now ranks among the gravest medical problems of modern times. Good Germs, Bad Germs addresses not only this issue but also what has become known as the "hygiene hypothesis"—  an argument that links the over-sanitation of modern life to now-epidemic increases in immune and other disorders. In telling the story of what went terribly wrong in our war on germs, Jessica Snyder Sachs explores our emerging understanding of the symbiotic relationship between the human body and its resident microbes—which outnumber its human cells by a factor of nine to one! The book also offers a hopeful look into a future in which antibiotics will be designed and used more wisely, and beyond that, to a day when we may replace antibacterial drugs and cleansers with bacterial ones—each custom-designed for maximum health benefits.

    A memoir of two brothers using an unexpected inheritance to start an organic farm in 1970 Wales: “This is Bill Bryson with muck under the fingernails.” —Brian Morton Londoners Nick Perry and his brother Jack were stuck in a bit of a rut. Nick, in his early twenties with a wife of infant twins, had been jumping from job to job; Jack chauffeured passengers around for their uncle’s business. Then an aunt they barely remembered, to their complete surprise, left them a tidy sum of money. It didn’t take long to come up with an idea—buying a plot of farmland in North Wales. Little did they know what a different world they were entering, and what a challenge it would be to find a way to farm that was in harmony with the earth and the animals in their care. The neighbors have little sympathy as Nick deals with the elements and with his nagging self-doubt. But no matter how close to the edge he and his family come, he carries on—and in this war-hearted, humorous, and ultimately inspirational tale, he tells the full story of a young man’s attempt to run an organic farm in the unforgiving Welsh hills.
