Beschreibung
A universe of life surrounds you-but most of it is far too small to see. Bacteria live in soil, water, oceans and inside the human body. Viruses enter cells and challenge our understanding of what it means to be alive. Fungi transform food, microbes recycle the materials ecosystems need, and ancient microorganisms helped create the oxygen-rich world in which animals and plants now live. Some microbes cause disease, but most do not. Many are harmless, useful or essential to life on Earth. In The Invisible World. , readers will journey through one of science's most astonishing hidden realms. Discover how microscopes first revealed microscopic life, what happens inside a bacterial cell, why viruses cannot reproduce alone and how the human microbiome supports a living community within us. Explore the body's immune defences, the science of vaccines, the lifesaving power of antibiotics and the growing challenge of antimicrobial resistance. Along the way, learn how microbes make bread, yoghurt and medicines, clean wastewater, recycle nutrients and survive in some of the most extreme environments on the planet. Serious, vivid and carefully grounded in scientific evidence, this book replaces fear and popular misconceptions with curiosity, understanding and wonder. It reveals that the invisible world is not separate from the living planet-it helped build it, continues to sustain it and forms part of every one of us.
