Every animal, whether human, squid, or wasp, is home to millions of bacteria and other microbes. Pulitzer Prize-winning author Ed Yong, whose humor is as evident as his erudition, prompts us to look at ourselves and our animal companions in a new light--less as individuals and more as the interconnected, interdependent multitudes we assuredly are. The microbes in our bodies are part of our immune systems and protect us from disease. In the deep oceans, mysterious creatures without mouths or guts depend on microbes for all their energy. Bacteria provide squid with invisibility cloaks, help beetles to bring down forests, and allow worms to cause diseases that afflict millions of people. Many people think of microbes as germs to be eradicated, but those that live with us--the microbiome--build our bodies, protect our health, shape our identities, and grant us incredible abilities. In this astonishing book, Ed Yong takes us on a grand tour through our microbial partners, and introduces us to the scientists on the front lines of discovery. It will change both our view of nature and our sense of where we belong in it.

Review :
"A delightful, witty book." -- "Science" "An excellent, vivid introduction to the all-enveloping realm of our secret sharers." -- "New York Times Book Review" "Excels at objectively navigating the large body of research related to the microbiome without overselling its curative potential or sacrificing any of the deliciously icky details." -- "Kirkus Reviews (starred review)" "Narrator Charlie Anson brings out the dry humor in British science journalist Ed Yong's fascinating and accessible treatise." -- "AudioFile " "Offer[s] engrossing--and gross--details about how an invisible world shapes our species...And he's funny." -- "Wall Street Journal" "Weaves revelatory anecdotes and cutting-edge reporting into an elegant, illuminating page-turner." -- "Minneapolis Star Tribune" "Yong makes a superb case for his position by interviewing numerous scientists and presenting their fascinating work in an accessible and persuasive fashion." -- "Publishers Weekly (starred review)"
