Huber the Tuber: A Story of Tuberculosis
by Harry A. WilmerHUBER THE TUBER is an imaginary tubercle bacillus whose adventures in Lungland are described and pictured in this book. Employing the use of numerous illustrations, the author has pictured as well as described a story of tuberculosis. Each of Huber’s adventures—including meeting his wife in a joint (a bar and nightclub)—tell some important details about tuberculosis. In addition to a narrative describing Huber’s escapades, his fight with the Home Guard Army and Corpuscle Nelson, his narrow escape from the Phagocyte Shark, there is a short scientific interpretation quite separate from the story. Huber the Tuber, Nasty von Sputum, and Rusty the Bloodyvitch are all finally rounded up by Corpuscle Lipsky and his mechanized Army. Huber’s idyllic but ill-fated romance with Bovy only proves the well-known and indisputable fact that Love is Blind.“This is a must book for everyone”—Science News Letter“Dr. Wilmer has made a story of ‘Huber the Tuber’ both educational and hilarious. I not only enjoyed it very much, but learned a good deal from it. I certainly would recommend it for light reading and serious education.”—John Kieran“Ingeniously the author has made the acquisition of basic information about tuberculosis painless and exciting. It is in the best tradition of modern health education.”—Morris Fishbein, M.D., Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association“The humorous adventures of ‘Huber the Tuber’ will fascinate lay and medical readers. Wilmer’s clever drawings make the pathology of tuberculosis a joy to investigate and impossible to forget.”—Leroy U. Gardner, M.D., Director, The Saranac Laboratory, Saranac Lake, New York

Hudson Valley Wine: A History of Taste & Terroir (American Palate)
by Tessa Edick Kathleen WillcoxAlthough it’s the birthplace of American wine, Hudson Valley vintages have yet to meet with the renown of those produced by the neighboring Finger Lakes and Long Island. In the 1600s, French Huguenots arrived in the area and used their French winemaking skills to found vineyards. Benmarl is cultivating astounding varietals from a vineyard that has continuously grown grapes since 1772. Recently launched cooperative winemaking organizations have made strides in the region, and scientists at Cornell University have worked to determine the tastiest varietals and hybrids that will flourish in the challenging Hudson Valley terroir. Hudson Valley wines are at last garnering critical acclaim in mainstream national publications and restaurants. Tessa Edick and Kathleen Willcox uncover the hundreds of years, unrelenting pride, determination and ingenuity behind Hudson Valley wines.
