With my library, when my allotted time is up, the book simply ceases to work on my Kindle. Bacteria is a collection of articles on about bacteria. Some chapters were quite interesting-- bacteria in extreme environments, the science or lack thereof of "probiotics", and marine microbiology were all interesting.
A chapter about artists who died from bacterial diseases seem I read this book as a library Kindle version. A chapter about artists who died from bacterial diseases seemed like a real stretch. The color plates are black and white on a standard Kindle so Kindle is not the ideal platform to read this book. From the text I got the impression the plates are pretty dramatic in color. I wonder why the two people who have rated this book before me gave it one star and two stars.
A one star rating should be explained. A couple sentences will do. Should I be warned off or was the irritation that caused a reader to give a book one star something that doesn't bother me at all?

The author states that this book is meant to be an antidote. The aim of this book is to neutralize the bad reputation bacteria have acquired; show readers how ubiquitous and important bacteria are; educate readers on the vast field of bacteriology, instead of concentrating on one small corner; and to illustrate how bacteria are definitely not boring.
This is an introductory text, so indepth explanations are not provided. This book is designed for people that have little knowledge of bacteria, so The author states that this book is meant to be an antidote. This book is designed for people that have little knowledge of bacteria, so I am not the intended target audience for this book.
I feel this probably affected my enjoyment and subsequent rating as most of the contents of this book I have read elsewhere and usually in greater detail. However, for those people whose knowledge of bacteria is limited, this would make a good introductory text.
Bacteria. The Benign, the Bad, and the Beautiful
Each chapter is rather short and covers a specific bacterial aspect. Technical science jargon is kept to a minimum.
If the particular chapter topic does not appeal to the reader, he is welcome to move onto the next chapter without ruining the reading experience. The book consists of short chapters that each cover a different aspect of bacterial structure, appearance, function, uses, locations and just weirdness.

The first few chapters cover the origins and age of bacteria and their classification. I found this section a bit dull, but the subsequent chapters were interesting and covered such things as bacteria that have built in injectable needles; toxins; antibiotics; oil eating bacteria; industrial uses of bacteria; extreme living conditions; bacteria that like chewing up papyrus scrolls; bacteria in medicine and DNA replication; diseases; nitrogen-fixation; and bacteria that act like slime mold, etc.
An interesting book for those curious about bacteria. Feb 01, Design-Devil rated it it was amazing.

A great read for anybody who wants to learn about bacteria without having a degree in microbiology. I was always a bit scared of these little critters but after reading this book I even felt sympathy for them, as long as they leave me alone! Jul 14, Vickie Backus rated it liked it.
