图书描述

A groundbreaking, marvelously informative “microbe’s-eye view” of the world that reveals a radically reconceived picture of life on earth.

For most of human existence, microbes were hidden, visible only through the illnesses they caused. When they finally surfaced in biological studies, they were cast as rogues. Only recently have they immigrated from the neglected fringes of biology to its center. Even today, many people think of microbes as germs to be eradicated, but those that live with us—the microbiome—are invaluable parts of our lives.

I Contain Multitudes lets us peer into that world for the first time, allowing us to see how ubiquitous and vital microbes are: they sculpt our organs, defend us from disease, break down our food, educate our immune systems, guide our behavior, bombard our genomes with their genes, and grant us incredible abilities. While much of the prevailing discussion around the microbiome has focused on its implications for human health, Yong broadens this focus to the entire animal kingdom, giving us a grander view of life.

With humor and erudition, Ed Yong prompts us to look at ourselves and our fellow animals in a new light: less as individuals and more as the interconnected, interdependent multitudes we assuredly are. When we look at the animal kingdom through a microbial lens, even the most familiar parts of our lives take on a striking new air. We learn the secret, invisible, and wondrous biology behind the corals that construct mighty reefs, the glowing squid that can help us understand the bacteria in our own guts, the beetles that bring down forests, the disease-fighting mosquitoes engineered in Australia, and the ingredients in breast milk that evolved to nourish a baby’s first microbes. We see how humans are disrupting these partnerships and how scientists are now manipulating them to our advantage. We see, as William Blake wrote, the world in a grain of sand.

I Contain Multitudes is the story of these extraordinary partnerships, between the familiar creatures of our world and those we never knew existed. It will change both our view of nature and our sense of where we belong in it.

共生是自然界普遍存在的现象。比如,黄蜂寄生无花果花内,能保障果树传授花粉和留种;真菌和藻类形成了地衣,地衣靠真菌的菌丝吸收养料;白蚁以木材为食,但它消化纤维素的能力来自于肠内鞭毛虫。在所有的共生现象里,经常出现的一方,就是微生物。 英国科普记者埃德·扬这部描...

一本带你改变你对微生物的认知、带你畅游神奇的微生物王国、据说让比尔·盖茨和扎克伯格也爱不释手的科普书, 在传统的认知里,特别是当下,谈到细菌,不由让人联想起麻风病、伤寒、肺结核、霍乱、鼠疫等等等等,他们是令人闻之色变的坏东西,这场席卷全球的疫情也是拜它们所赐...
