Parasite Rex: Inside the Bizarre World of Nature's Most Dangerous Creatures by Carl Zimmer
5.0
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"It is we who are the parasites, and Earth the host. The metaphor may not be perfect, but it chimes well.....
...There is no shame in being a parasite. We join a venerable guild that has been on this planet since its infancy and has become the most successful form of life on planet...
...If we want to succeed as parasites, we need to learn from the masters."
Very deeply researched and well written book. I learnt so much about parasites, their harms and blessings both. Nature is no doubt a self-sustaining being. God has created it in its best form.
Can't wait to read more of his books. Highly recommend it to science and nature lovers.
