One alternative that is being considered by scientists is a kind of virus called a bacteriophage. "Phages"--viruses that kill bacteria but not humans--were discovered in 1915.

Phage therapy was successfully used for twenty years before the invention of penicillin made them obsolete everywhere but Eastern Europe, where they are still in use today. In its first English translation, this book tells the fascinating story behind the history of the phage, its discovery and development, as well as the strides that are being made to bring the therapy back to the West today (less)

I don't know if this will help, but it's part of a report I did on the book: The study of history offers new interpretations to the historian and the scholar, because it helps the historian understand his job and how to overcome problems, and it teaches the scholar to read history with a greater understanding. Just by reading Edward Carr's book, the student learns that when reading a history book, he shouldn't be concerned with just the facts in the book, but also the author and the time period in which the book was written.

To fully grasp the work of the historian, he must first understand the circumstances under which the work was written. It is also beneficial to the historian himself, as Carr says, "the historian who is most conscious of his own situation is also more capable of transcending it, and more capable of appreciating the essential nature of the differences between his own society and outlook and those of other periods and other countries, than the historian who loudly protests that he is an individual and not a social phenomenon.

" Carr does not delve into ways to approach history, except for simply and sporadically. He seems to feel that history should always be studied in the same way.

The only "new method" he mentioned was time itself, changing peoples perspectives and expectations of history. New historians can base their studies off of the evidence and materials of the old, and in this way, history can progress.

Carr says that over time, "Nothing..

.occurred to alter the inductive view of historical method.

..

first collect your facts, then interpret them." I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the book.

While I wouldn't read it again, I would recommend it to any history student, because it changes the perspective on history. The book started out very strong- everything pointed to the one looming question, what is history?, but as the book progressed, Carr seemed to lose track of the point, and focus more on whether history is a science or not, rather than defining the word.

The book was easy to read, and was full of examples- sometimes humorous- that made Carr's ideas understandable. Carr constantly quoted other historians, or used simple sayings, like "which came first, the chicken or the egg?" At first Carr was convincing, but as he lost track, I lost interest, and his later points did not convince me at all.

Even so, the book was readable, informative, and recommendable (less)
