  This book looks at the weird and wonderful world of parasites, the most abundant form of life on Earth. Parasites come in all forms and sizes and inhabit every free-living organism. Parasitism is now, and always has been, a way to survive under changing environmental conditions. From arctic oceans to tropical forests, Scott Gardner, Judy Diamond, and Gabor Racz investigate how parasites survive and evolve, and how they influence and provide stability to ecosystems. 
   
   
   
  Taking listeners to the open ranges of Mongolia, the Sandhills of north-central Nebraska, the Andes of Bolivia, and more, the authors examine the impact parasites have on humans and other animals. Using examples of parasites from throughout the tree of life, the authors describe parasite-host relationships as diverse as those between trematodes and snails and tapeworms and whales. Parasites offer clues to the evolutionary history of particular regions, and they can provide insights into the history of species interactions. Through parasites, biologists can weave together a global knowledge of the past to predict the challenges that we will face in the future. 
   
   
   
  Revealing that parasites are so much more than creepy-crawlies, this book gives up-to-date context for these critical members of the biological diversity of our planet.

  Gut Microbiome for Beginners -...

  You know there are trillions of bacteria living in your gut, and you have a vague sense they matter. But every explanation either turns into a diet lecture or drowns you in Latin names, and you still could not say what those microbes actually do all day.
  
  Press play and your gut becomes a great river-harbour city. Your mouth is the customs gate, your stomach an acid quarantine dock, your small intestine a roaring trading floor, and your colon a fermenting warehouse district where roughly a hundred trillion residents work, bargain and occasionally riot. Chapter by chapter you follow a meal through the city, meet the microbial families who run it, listen in on the gut-brain phone line, and watch what a course of antibiotics does to the streets. Every chapter ends on a genuine wow, and where science does not yet know, you hear that too.
  
  By the last chapter, your own digestion feels like a place you have visited. Press play and walk through the gates.
