About This Item
W. H. Freeman, 1994 8vo (24 cm), XVIII, 237 pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket. Inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper. "Microbes - tiny unseen bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa - pervade every aspect of human society and of the natural world. "Power Unseen" portrays the many, diverse and often unexpected activities of microbes through a series of 75 vignettes, each focusing on one particular organism and its characteristic behavior. Here, then, is a portrait gallery illustrating microbial life in its astonishing diversity. Microbes have influenced history and they are helping to shape our future. They are still springing surprises, and they continue to threaten us; yet we could not exist without them. In this fascinating and entertaining book, Bernard Dixon leaves the reader in no doubt that microbes, not macrobes, rule the world." (from the publisher's description)
