The Most Powerful Life on Earth
Publisher: Alfabet
The fascinating story of microbes
How does a camel find water in the desert? Why are corals coloured? How does our bodies digest food? The answer lies in the smallest life on earth: microbes. Without microbes like fungi, yeasts, algae and bacteria, life on earth would not be possible. They are essential on earth and in our bodies. We can breathe oxygen thanks to microbes in the ocean. Microbes live in the clouds and snow and influence our ecosystems.
Humans are made up of as many microbes as body cells. Microbes are too small to see with the naked eye and yet the role they play cannot be underestimated. The Most Powerful Life on Earth provides a fascinating glimpse into the hidden world of microbes. Tales of the invisible, enigmatic and indispensable microworld.
