The Bacteria Book

內容簡介

內容簡介 細菌的秘密 什麼是微生物？從顯微鏡看微生物，它們就像一個外星世界，有些可能讓你覺得噁心，但有些讓你驚豔呢。神秘的微生物，四處都有，在你周圍，在你身上，甚至在你身體裡。我們和微生物和平相處，但也和他們打仗。書裡介紹各種微生物，從最早出現的細菌﹙在37億年前就出現了﹚、病毒、真菌、藻類、古細菌到原生動物等，此外，也認識細胞、抗生素，以及讓螞蟻變僵屍的喪屍真菌等。原來肉眼見不到的微生物也有大千世界。認識微生物，最重要的是，當他們對人體有害時，知道要如何採取適當的措施，保護身體。 Meet the bacteria, viruses, and other germs and microbes that are all around, but too small for us to see, in this children's science book by bestselling author and science comedian Steve Mould. What do a squid that glows, fungus that grows, and tiny creatures in the soil under your toes all have in common? Find out in this dynamic and engaging book all about bacteria, viruses, and other germs and microbes. The Bacteria Book perfectly walks the line between "ew, gross!" and "oh, cool!", exploring why we need bacteria and introducing readers to its microbial mates: viruses, fungi, algae, archaea, and protozoa. The Bacteria Book is a fun and informative introduction to a STEAM subject that brings kids up-close to the big world of tiny science. With remarkable photography, kooky character illustrations, and lots of fun facts, this book uses real-life examples of microbiology in action to show how microbes keep our bodies and our world running.
