The amoeba in the room : lives of the microbes / by Money, Nicholas P.,author.(CARDINAL)330432;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Eden -- Lenses -- Leviathan -- Dirt and water -- Air -- Naked ape -- Vulcan's Forge and Dante's Hell -- New Jerusalem."In The Amoeba in the Room, Nicholas Money explores the extraordinary breadth of the microbial world and the vast swathes of biological diversity that can be detected only using molecular methods. Although biologists have achieved a remarkable level of understanding about the way multicellular organisms operate, Money shows that most people continue to ignore the fact that most of life isn't classified as either plant or animal. Significant discoveries about the composition of the biosphere are making it clear that the sciences have failed to comprehend the full spectrum of life on earth, which is far more diverse than previously imagined. Money's engaging work considers this diversity in all its forms, exploring environments from the backyard pond to the ocean floor to the "mobile ecosystem" of our own bodies. A revitalized vision of life emerges from Money's lively narrative of the lowly, one in which we are challenged to reconsider our existence in proper relationship to the single-celled protists, bacteria, and viruses that constitute most of life on earth. Proposing a radical reformulation of biology education and research in the life sciences, The Amoeba in the Room is a compelling romp through the least visible and yet most prodigiously magnificent aspects of life on earth"--

A field guide to bacteria / by Dyer, Betsey Dexter.(CARDINAL)328492;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 335-338) and index."In a guide perfect for naturalists, students, teachers, and tourists alike, Betsey Dexter Dyer lets the reader know that it is possible to observe bacteria with all the senses. Many groups of bacteria can be easily identified in the field (or in the refrigerator) without a microscope. Useful illustrations, including 120 color photographs, accompany Dyer's text throughout."--Jacket.
