I Contain Multitudes: The Microbes Within Us and A Grander View of Life
by Ed Yong
Welcome to the microbiome, the complex ecosystem of commensal, symbiotic, and pathogenic microscopic organisms living in and on our bodies. In this accessible field guide to microbes of all descriptions, science writer Ed Yong reveals that microorganisms are more than germs to be wiped out; they are complex communities that play a vital role in digestion, immunity, and reproduction -- and, as a result, have become a critical part of medical research. For more on the subject, try Rob Dunn's The Wildlife of Our Bodies or Rodney Dietert's The Human Super-Organism.

It really is all that, and more... Outstanding isn't a strong enough word to describe it. If you are a soldier, a police officer, a martial artist, the holder of a concealed weapons permit, or just live in a bad neighborhood you really ought to read this book. Both authors really know what they're talking about, clearly able to articulate hard won wisdom in this well-written and comprehensive tome.
