Reseña del editor
Mmm-mmm, microbes!
Although we are accustomed to equating the presence of
microbes with disease, in fact most microbes play a vital
"friendly" role in shaping our lives. It is not just that one
hundred million microbes can populate a thimbleful of fertile
soil, or that many millions live happily in as much of our saliva.
Microbes are everywhere, and we could not survive without
them. To emphasize their amazing ubiquity, Jeanette Farrell
considers the invisible bugs essential to an everyday event: the
eating of a light lunch consisting of a cheese sandwich and a
chocolate bar. Microbes create such a lunch, digest it, and,
through the alchemy of decomposition, transform it so that the
cycle can start all over again. In the course of her eye-opening
narrative, Dr. Farrell relates the historical significance of using
microbes to preserve foods, our long-standing ambivalence
about the microbes that live on and in us, and our growing
understanding of their importance.
Interspersed with fascinating anecdotes and illustrations,
Invisible Allies will transform the reader's perception of the
microcosmic world - around and inside us.
