顯微世界：微生物學之父安東尼．范．雷文霍克的故事: Lori Alexander : Vivien Mildenberger : 300 xx Lori Alexander lorialexanderbooks. com Vivien Mildenberger 4 5AAAA
作者: 蘿瑞．亞歷山大 Lori Alexander | 繪者: 薇薇安．米丹柏格 Vivien Mildenberger | 譯者: 齊若蘭
安東尼．范．雷文霍克沒有受過任何正規科學教育，沒有討論學術研究的夥伴。
他是一位荷蘭布商、一位業餘科學家，
僅僅透過自學與強大的好奇心，他自己打造顯微鏡，發現了前所未見的微生物世界。
＼沒有正規科學教育，也就不被體制侷限／
安東尼的父親是普通的小商人，母親是釀酒商的女兒，
他十四歲時被送去當布商學徒，一生沒有受過正規的科學教育，不諳英文，
沒辦法閱讀虎克發表的《微物圖誌》，只能為上頭的圖片深深著迷。
對於顯微鏡的製作與微生物領域的研究，完全來自安東尼自己的摸索。
＼無比強烈的好奇心，求知若渴／
安東尼對生活周遭的所有事物，都抱持強烈的好奇心。
他觀察家裡發霉的麵包、蜜蜂的眼睛跟尾刺、豬的眼球；
他以實驗之名，向鄰居徵收頭髮與指甲，也研究自己牙縫裡的牙垢。
不同於專攻單一領域的科學家，安東尼是博物學家：
昆蟲、植物、動物、微生物、細胞組織、血液循環系統，這些他通通都很有興趣！
＼孜孜不倦的努力，持之以恆的毅力／
除了旺盛的好奇心，安東尼也擁有異於常人的毅力。
一般人在顯微鏡下看個幾分鐘，就會失去耐心，
但安東尼能夠連續好幾個小時坐在顯微鏡前，不間斷的觀察。
他的個性獨立、執著、堅毅，研究嚴謹又精確，研究成果領先所有同儕科學家，
就算沒有人相信他的發現，他仍舊不放棄，想盡辦法將成果分享給世界。
＼超越事物表象，對背後的運作原理更有興趣／
比起單純的觀察與紀錄，安東尼更希望了解生命運作的原理：
毛髮如何生長，肌肉如何伸縮，眼睛如何對焦等。
他耐心觀察、深入思考，
利用生活周遭的材料（襪子、蟻丘、鄰居的牙垢），
發揮創意，自己設計實驗，並謹慎撰寫研究報告給皇家協會。
晚年，他發現了微生物與疾病之間的關聯，間接促進了公共衛生的改善。
這本生動、易讀、全彩的橋樑傳記書，展現了一位業餘科學家，如何透過不懈的研究，最終成為微生物學之父的故事。安東尼．范．雷文霍克透過自己打造的顯微鏡，發現了無人見過微生物世界，在300多年前就為昆蟲學、植物學、細胞學、微生物學等眾多領域奠定了基礎。
本書特色
章回橋梁書，文字x圖畫x照片，幫助閱讀理解
作者蘿瑞用簡單易懂的文字，搭配科學專有名詞，向大家介紹微生物學之父的故事。在較為複雜的地方，則有插畫家薇薇安用圖像幫助讀者理解（比如說，在詳細說明安東尼如何製造顯微鏡的段落，薇薇安便畫出顯微鏡的拆解圖，標明各個零件，讓讀者能去對照文字，進而理解安東尼的製作步驟）。
除了有賞心悅目的豐富插畫，書中也穿插顯微鏡下的真實照片（鹽粒與胡椒粒、水中的微生物、麵包裡的黴菌）讓讀者也能一窺顯微世界裡的驚奇與奧妙！
時代知識補充，讓讀者更了解個體與時代之間的關係
十七世紀的歐洲，十四歲就算成年？科學家做完實驗，還要找插畫家把實驗結果畫下來？科學家不叫科學家，而稱作「自然哲學家」？作者將這些背景小知識，穿插補充在書中，讓整個時代背景更為立體飽滿。書後詳附安東尼．范．雷文霍克的生平年表／同時期世界大事年表，讓讀者在閱讀安東尼的故事之餘，能對十七世紀的歐洲社會更有概念。

Asurion worked as intended.
After three years, my monitor failed. Asurion paid to send it to a repair center. I didn't save the box the monitor came in, and paid $23 to have it packaged up. They kept me informed of the various steps, such as en route, arrived, testing, and repair started. They discovered it could not economically be repaired and refunded my purchase price. The entire process from me telling them it was broken until the refund took 5 days. I am well satisfied with the service.

Simple and not Drama claim process.
’ve had Asurion coverage for a couple of years and never needed to use it until recently, when my pool salt cell (less than two years old) stopped working. I had purchased it with an Asurion protection plan, so I contacted them to start a claim.
The process was simple and straightforward to follow. In the end, they honored the plan and covered the cost of my salt cell based on the value when I originally bought it. They issued me a gift card that I could use on Amazon for that amount.
While prices have gone up and a new cell now costs about $200 more, it was still definitely worth having the coverage. Overall, I’m satisfied with how the claim was handled.

Love this protection plan
Quick and easy. My daughter's cracked her screen on her phone, as soon as it happened I went on the app, filed the claim. Ten minutes later I received the email with the shipping lable. The following day I dropped the phone off at ups and 4 hours later I received the digital gift card. Ive filed several claims since getting the protection plan and with four kids its definitelysomething im glad to have especially since i dont have to buy a protectionplan for each item now. I have filed claims for electric scooter the stoped working for no reason, my son's phone stopped charging, my oldest daughter cracked her phone screen, my son's video game controllers up and died and each time it was quick and easy and no fuss

Don't waste your money - these people will not help you
On March 9th 2024, I purchased a MCombo Lift Chair costing $785. On the same day, through the same Amazon account (my PERSONAL account since I also have a business account), I purchased an Asurion Complete Protect policy at the cost of $16.99 per month plus taxes. About one month ago, a problem arose with the chair that required me to make a claim using the "Complete Protect" policy that I had purchased for that very item. The claim was initiated on January 1st, 2025 - On January 3rd, I received an email asking me for photographs showing the damage for which I was making a claim. I sent those photographs via email to the address provided on January 6th. On January 27th, having not received ANY response from Asurion, I contacted them via phone and was told that my purchase had been made with a business account, that it was being used for business purposes, and was therefore not covered. I assured the Asurion Representative that it was most certainly not a business use, and that the chair that I was claiming for had been purchased because I had extensive shoulder surgery done that made it impossible to get in and out of bed. After speaking (unsuccessfully) with the Asurion Rep, I then contacted Amazon Customer Service. I spoke with an Amazon Customer Service Representative on the phone who confirmed that I had in fact used my personal account to purchase the chair and the Asurion Complete Protect policy. That representative went on to send a message to Asurion on my behalf confirming that the purchase was for personal use and not business use. Asurion responded, asking me to call them with the order number for the Asurion purchase. The number I gave was the exact same order number on my order history, however, the Asurion Rep could not find it. I was finally able to discover that the order number in Asurion's system was entirely different and isn't even in the same format as an Amazon order number.
Upon the Asurion representative finding my plan, she informed me that the chair was listed as being purchased for business use (despite Amazon confirming that it was NOT) but that I should give them "a couple of business days" to resolve the issue. Five business days later, still no response and so I called them again (Yesterday - February 1st 2025)... Lo and behold, I got the same crap yet again... the purchase was listed as business use and was therefore being denied, but she promised to remove the business use commentary and put the claim through again.
Today, February 2nd, I called Amazon yet again to escalate and had to call THREE times because the first two calls resulted in me finally being connected to an Asurion representative (two different reps) and each time, the Asurion representative hung up the phone as soon as my name was mentioned.
It has become clear to me that the Asurion "Complete Protect" policy is a SCAM - they will NOT take care of your issue, regardless of how long you've been paying. I have been paying every month since March 9th last year - so they've received over $170 from me thus far, with zero other claims, and if I am able to cancel right now, I will only receive $16.99 back. All I want, is the chair that I purchased the policy for coverage of, to be repaired or replaced. Asurion are NOT helping, and are actively avoiding contact.
At this point, I am considering legal action against Asurion for fraud - perhaps even a Class Action. I'll wait and see if my issue gets resolved within the next 10 days or so.

Asurion is AWESOME!
Ok, so let me start with the fact that you should NOT waste your time calling Amazon's customer service if you think you have a claim under Asurion's monthly protection plan. CALL ASURION!
I wasted almost an hour with Amazon representatives that have absolutely no training in how the Asurion plan works, or even any idea if my item was covered. In fact, they told me the mechanized chair I purchased under the plan wasn't covered!
Finally, my call got escalated to a manager who was just as clueless about my coverage, but had the best idea ever... call Asurion!
The smartest thing I did that morning was hang up with Amazon, and reach out to Asurion as I should have done in the first place.
Dealing with Asurion's customer service, after my Amazon call, was like being elevated to VIP status! 😄
Asurion's rep nicely took all my info, including the chair's purchase date and order number. Then they asked that I upload a couple of pictures of the product, along with a written description of the malfunction I had mentioned over the phone.
This is where it gets really good. They told me they'd review the claim to determine if they'd send a repair
specialist or reimburse me the cost of the item. In less than 48 hours, they determined that a payout was in order, and sent me an email that included an Amazon gift card for the total cost of the item minus the taxes I had paid, which I loaded directly into my Amazon wallet. Apparently, Asurion does not include the purchase taxes in their coverage.
But, I can live with that.
All in all, Asurion's claims division get a double thumbs up 👍🏽👍🏽, and the company gets big ups from me for not only standing behind their protection plan, but doing so expeditiously!
Special note: If you buy a lot of stuff from Amazon, and have Asurion's monthly protection plan, scroll the item listing before pulling the trigger on your purchase... you need to see the green streamer that indicates your product is protected by the plan. If you don't see that, check to see if there are alternative products that might be covered. There are very few electronic or high ticket items that aren't covered, but looking for that green banner in the item description that says it's covered is key to foregoing any future headaches.
