The book has you looking around the world to find different kinds of bacteria. Some instructions given on how you can collect samples and even culture some of the species.
I find the book mind changing because I didn’t notice how prevalent bacteria is, and just how visible and how chemically influential.
The actual reading is a bit hard, sometimes slow, sometimes exciting, partly because the book is systematic in going through step by step. Good for later consultation but a bit of a drag show more while reading.
I wish there were more images of the small guys... show less
