New Guinea Tapeworms and Jewish Grandmothers covers the performers and World War II quite thouroughly. As for Barbatelli, I never read whether he had any pale friends named Al. You seem like a pleasant fellow, though, so I'm sure he would have looked past your complexion and enjoyed that beer with you were he still alive.
just some of my standard answers.
The Disappearing Spoon- yes, it's chemistry but I found it very interesting.
Abraham Lincoln's DNA- if you have a good background in genetics you might already know many of these stories. Read the table of contents first.
New Guinea Tapeworms and Jewish Grandmothers- disease based biology. There is a follow up book if it turns out you like it.
Stiff- more than you wanted to know about dead bodies.
And by the same author but space based... Packing for Mars.
I hope these help... Cheers.
Easy but informative read:New Guinea Tapeworms and Jewish Grandmothers: Tales of Parasites and People
Honestly, the title reminds me of this: https://www.amazon.com/New-Guinea-Tapeworms-Jewish-Grandmothers/dp/0393304264
It’s a phenomenal book and if you’re at all interested in biology I recommend it.
TOXO! That's what got me started on this line of speculation. A friend of mine tested positive when she was pregnant and it was a very difficult decision whether or not to continue the pregnancy. The baby seemed OK but until recently the boy was still living at home, well into his 30s so I wonder....
The first book I read on the subject had a chapter on toxo and how it altered the behavior of rats. That got me to thinking, if the behavior of rats could be altered, why not the behavior of humans?
Since then, research has indicated - early stages - that it does alter the behavior of those humans who are infected.
There wasn't much to read about the subject in 1987 but now I see articles regularly on the subject. Still early days, though.
It is also interesting the the eponymous New Guinea tapeworm is on the verge of eradication, thanks, in large part, to former President Carter.
