I Contain Multitudes: The Microbes Within Us and a Grander View of Life by Ed Yong

challenging informative mysterious slow-paced

4.0

A fascinating book on m icrobes of all sorts.  From the microbes interacting with humans and our guts to the microbes impacting animals and creatures of the deep seas.  The author does a magnificent job of explaining how microbes impact our daily lives for good and bad.  A truly fascinating book.  The book is written in such a way that it is not dull or dry but rather intriguing.  There is an incredible amount of information here to digest, so I found that the book could at times be just a little overwhelming.
