Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The New York Times BestsellerFrom 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.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. "A hardcover edition of this book was published in 2016 by Ecco, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers"--Copyright page.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Unser Körper ist eine ganze Welt: Billionen Mikroorganismen bevölkern ihn. Sie gestalten unsere Organe mit, schützen uns vor Krankheiten, steuern unser Verhalten und bombardieren uns mit ihren Genen. Diese winzigen Gefährten verfügen über den Schlüssel zum Verständnis für das gesamte Leben auf der Erde, wie es begann, wie es sich fortentwickelte.Ed Yong öffnet uns die Augen für diese unsichtbare Welt. Er erzählt von den erstaunlichen Symbiosen, die Korallen dazu bewegen, mächtige Riffe zu bauen, oder es Zwergtintenfischen ermöglichen, ihre eigenen Umrisse mit einem diffusen Licht zu tarnen, um sich vor Jägern zu schützen. Wir erfahren, wie Mikroben Viren in Schach halten, Einfluss auf unsere Emotionen und unser Wesen nehmen und sogar unsere genetische Veranlagung verändern können. Wir lernen die Wissenschaftler kennen, die mit ansteckender Begeisterung diese winzigen Begleitererforschen - sehr zu unserem Nutzen.Mit überraschendem Witz, großer Kenntnis und Anschaulichkeit lässt Ed Yong auf dieser Entdeckungsreise in den Kosmos der Mikrobiologie das Unsichtbare und Winzige sichtbar und groß werden.…
