Entamoeba: Species, Classification and Biology outlines the current
knowledge about the global epidemiology, clinical manifestations,
pathogenesis, available diagnostic tools and management of
pathogenic Entamoeba species in humans. The authors provide an
overview of the various species belonging to the genus Entamoeba,
including Entamoeba histolytica, Entamoeba dispar, Entamoeba
gingivalis, Entamoeba coli, Entamoeba moshkovskii, Entamoeba
invadens, Entamoeba polecki, Entamoeba hartmanni, Entamoeba suis,
Entamoeba nuttalli, Entamoeba bangladeshi, Entamoeba struthionis
and Entamoeba muris. The general pathogenic factors of Entamoeba
histolytica are described, particularly focusing on how these
factors participate in establishing infection. Additionally, an
review of studies centered on the morphological, biochemical and
genetic changes during programmed cell death of Entamoeba
histolytica is provided. Current knowledge on the identification,
characterisation, structure, and function of the enzymes of serine
biosynthesis is also summarized.

The story of men who become rich is not uncommon. But it is rare to
find the story of a man who rose from the very lowest rank in
society, a member of a despised caste known as the chattel slave,
to a position among the greatest, as a renowned missionary and
lecturer. BORN THREE TIMES is a truly inspiring narrative of human
potential and capacity. Thomas Johnson depicts his life under
slavery and his life as a free man. The great change in condition,
from prisoner to world traveller, from an insignificant "nobody" to
celebrated evangelist and speaker - all this seems to be fiction,
but it is absolutely true. He describes his slow steps in
education. Tasks which other people conquer in childhood, such as
learning the alphabet, he must deal with as an adult. Scenes of
life which are taken for granted by the free-born, are challenging
and unnerving to those who had lived in bondage. Further, Johnson
reveals the many complex feelings he had about people and places.
In something that is rare in books of this kind, he even discloses
the secret opinions he and other slaves held of different cultures.
England was considered by them to be the greatest nation in the
world, because Queen Victoria had done so much to liberate the
oppressed. Although he acknowledged that as a black man his racial
homeland was in Africa, he appears to have felt surprisingly
limited resonance with the culture he encountered during his
missionary work there. Johnson made what was at the time a very
audacious decision, to move his family overseas to Europe. He felt
his real place was in England, a land with which he had absolutely
no racial, ethnic or cultural affiliations. He makes clear his
reason: the widespreadprejudice in America, North and South, that
existed against former slaves made his life intolerable. However,
he noted that this prejudice was not as evident against those
blacks visiting from other nations-an interesting comment on the
peculiar nature of racism. Johnson believed that there would be
less racism amongst people who had never tolerated slavery in their
own country. One indeed detects in his writing a genuine warmth
towards the people of his new home, an intangible feeling he cannot
explain.
