I Contain Multitudes: The Microbes Within Us and a Grander View of Life by Ed Yong

4.0

Microbiology textbook has a love child with your favorite national geographic animal show. Yong walks the thin line between minutiae and superficiality very gracefully. He offers enough information to show nuance without letting it bog readers down. The stories were all fascinating and the claims exciting. A wonderfully crafted book. DISCLAIMER: this is one of my favorite topics that I have learned about for years so i’m not sure how it would come across to someone with little background on the topic.
