5.0 out of 5 stars A rare winner, April 18, 2000
This review is from: Intimate Strangers (Hardcover)
Rarely, oh so rarely has science been explained to the public with such zestful clarity. Not since Paul de Kruif's "Microbe Hunters" has anyone produced as exciting an exposition of how microbes and humans interact. The writers flavor the text with titillating examples, evocative metaphors, and thought-provoking questions. This book constitutes a passport to a whole wondrous realm, not just a single destination.
