| Summary |
"In the spirit of Natalie Angier's The canon, and writing with the verve and wit of Bill Bryson, Small wonders takes the reader on a fantastic voyage to the microscopic, but massively influential, world of microbiology. It's a strange and dangerous world where oxygen is a lethal poison, sulphur is a delicious treat, deception is a basic survival skill, and perfectly good alcohol is simply thrown away."--Provided by publisher |
