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

byEd Yong

From Pulitzer Prize winner Ed Yong, a groundbreaking, wondrously informative, and vastly entertaining examination of the most significant revolution in biology since Darwin—a "microbe’s-eye view" of the world that reveals a marvelous, radically reconceived picture of life on earth. The research behind I Contain Multitudes draws together scientific research, fieldwork, and carefully chosen case studies to show how the central story changed over time. The result links the microbes within us and a grander view of life with debates in medical and science, showing where public institutions and private experience meet.
