An impassioned fascination for microscopic life around and within us...Overall, Money delivers a heady mixture of history, philosophy, art and even poetry...This is a lucid and informative book. There is an impressive afterword of references and notes, and fine line drawings. So much that is lyrical and little-known waits to be discovered here - novelties that will appeal to new undergraduates as well as to incorrigible microbial enthusiasts like myself. (Mark O. Martin, Nature)

Beautifully written ... Money has a great style, and a very important message. To see what is really going on in the biosphere, the only zone of life that we know of at this point, you need a microscope. Bacteria are the gods of humans. (The Stranger)
