Summary/Abstract |
Though most of them are too small to be seen with the naked eye, bacteria are everywhere. They appeared on Earth more than 3 billion years before the first dinosaurs. Some bacteria cause deadly diseases, but many of them are helpful to us. They fertilise the soil by breaking down dead material, and they are an essential ingredient in many foods. Bacteria in our own bodies are a vital part of the digestive process.

Summary/Abstract |
Imagine a world without books. You would have no information about the world outside, except what you could learn from travellers. You would know nothing about the past, except what storytellers could remember. The book is a truly amazing data storage device, yet most of us take it for granted. Find out how it has developed over the centuries, and how it is being reinvented for the future.

Summary/Abstract |
We rely on cell phones all the time, whether it's to keep in touch with friends, to play games or to access the internet. As phones become smarter, smaller, cheaper and more powerful, we find it difficult to imagine life without them. But, until about 30 years ago, there were no mobile phones. How on earth did people manage?

Summary/Abstract |
We could not live without water. Almost two-thirds of our body weight is water. We rely on it to keep ourselves clean, to keep our bodies nourished, and to get rid of waste. But water can also carry deadly germs and poisons. One of the greatest challenges for scientists and governments today is to make sure that everyone has access to the clean, safe water that they need.

Summary/Abstract |
Nowadays, going to the dentist is a safe and usually painless experience. But that wasn't always the case. In past centuries, the only cure for a decayed tooth was to yank it out - without anaesthetic, and with only the beating of a drum to numb your senses and drown out your screams. Read on, if you dare - and learn how lucky we are to live in modern times.

Summary/Abstract |
Imagine a world without fire. There would be no cooked food, no artificial light and no way of keeping warm in a cool climate. Fire can be dangerous, but over thousands of years we have learned to tame it. We use it to make pottery, glass and metals. It enabled us to invent the steam engine, the internal combustion engine and the rocket. Where would we be without it?
