Summary:
Set against a backdrop of [the author's] misadventures in academia, [this work] explores what microbes are and how they live and compares the microbiomes of soil, plants, animals (that includes us), and places, explaining such things as the wrongheadedness of labeling some bacteria "good" and others "bad"...[and] walks you through this incredible garden of the unseen and helps you realize that we share everything.
