Overview
This highly visual exploration is a fascinating look at the still-mysterious human microbiome—the viruses, bacteria, fungi, and other microbes that work together to play an essential role in keeping humans healthy. The accessible text allows full-bleed images to shine throughout, including full-spread, photo-realistic illustrations that bring the world of microorganisms to life.
With a PhD in molecular biology, the author created the book in cooperation with Dr. Purna Kashyap, director of the Microbiome Program, a Mayo Clinic research initiative that studies the microbiome's role in health. Dr. Kashyap also gives readers tips and tricks for keeping their microbiome healthy.
