97. Vampireville by Ellen Schreiber 98. Parasite Rex by Carl Zimmer Class book for my Parasitology class.

Looks like November was a slowish reading month for me. I finished The Compass Rose by Le Guin, Parasite Rex by Carl Zimmer and Breakfast at Tiffany's by Capote. All short books. And I read through the Beatrix Potter set of books with my youngest. Listened to Careless in Red by Eliza ...

I love these kinds of books (natural history and biology). I have one called Parasite Rex that I haven't read yet but am looking forward to. A book I couldn't eat through while reading was Peeps. It's a vampire novel, but every other chapter describes a type of parasite.

... books, imho, like your Bizarre World book by Bill Bryson links to Parasite Rex by Carl Zimmer (where's the connection??), which looks just as good as the book you listed. The Host is on my wishlist. I'm still working on her Twili ...

Ooooh, a group about book shopping! Why haven't I found you guys earlier?!? So far this week I have purchased: Bizarre World by Bill Bryson Coffee with Isaac Newton by Michael White Secret Lives of Great Composers by Elizabeth Lunday The Host by Stephanie Meyer The Sweetness ...

... Preston ordered from Amazon over the weekend and should have by Friday: Wicked Plants by Amy Stewart (looks very good), Parasite Rex by Carl Zimmer, DNA Science: A First Course by David Micklos, Your Inner Fish by Neil Shubin, Until the Sun Comes Up by Karen Casselberry (hmm no ...

qebo, Parasite Rex was one of those books that changed the way I view the world. The strategies of some parasites just boggled my brain. Like one of the biologists mentioned in the book who said that he didn't see pigeons as pigeons any more but as walking and flying collections of parasites. Some ...

4. Parasite Rex by Carl Zimmer http://www.librarything.com/topic/53660#messagehead8 (message #8) I'm not doing so well on the pacing here. Should've finished the seven I've listed. Added another category: computer. Added another book: #2 on the bus/train/plane list. Still missing three ...

4. Parasite Rex by Carl Zimmer Another book that became subway reading, and that would have been better in longer stretches. Yikes, they're everywhere, but maybe more interesting than the parasites themselves is how scientists figure out their life cycles, or figure out how parasite knows ...

... ercise.png"> art 1. Art and Fear by David Bayles & Ted Orlando (completed 2 Jan 2009) biology 1. Parasite Rex by Carl Zimmer (completed 31 Jan 2009) 2. Your Inner Fish by Neil Shubin (completed 28 Feb 2009) 3. Dawkins vs Gould by Kim Sterelny (completed 24 Mar 200 ...

... People even crazier about books than I am. The Origin of Wealth, Eric Beinhocker- Economics gets an overhaul. Parasite Rex, Carl Zimmer- Amazing strategies employed by parasites. The Lucifer Principle, Howard Bloom- Rock band manager writes about science. The Looming To ...

... in an orgy of books rather than logging on. Thank you all for all of your suggestions. Johnnylogic, I did get Parasite Rex by Carl Zimmer and it really made an impression on me. Every so often, I would get creeped out enough to where I would have to stop reading. (Don't know ...

... and the science (parasitology/epidemiology) is quite accurate - Westerfeld has said that he got most of his info from Parasite Rex by Carl Zimmer.

... is a British publication which showcases bizarre events and objects and people-- The books that most people pick up is Parasite Rex which is about lovely opportunistic predators such as flukes and worms and Death's Acre-- where dead bodies (donated by the public) are exposed to the ...

I managed to find Parasite Rex and The Ghost Map on Overstock today. It will be a while before they get here. I also found The River: A Journey to the Source of HIV and AIDS (which I would very much like to read because I was an HIV epidemiologist--unfortunately that one costs ninety-so ...

sharonk21, Great list. Somewhat peripherally, I would recommend Carl Zimmer's Parasite Rex for an engaging, informal review of parasitism, parasites and the people that love them.

... and still flash often to little creepy facts or images from it. Another bio book that has stayed with me for years is Parasite Rex by Carl Zimmer. It turned my worldview upside-down and turned me into a diehard Zimmer fan. I'm reading A Natural History of Sex by Adrian Forsyth right ...
