Utterly fascinating and paradigm-shifting, told with charming thoughtfulness, I Contain Multitudes will make you realize how reliant we are on microscopic life within and among us to survive and thrive. The specific medical points were a surprise, with individual health being increasingly seen as a matter of "environmental" balance and not just metaphorically. A corrective to sanitizing paranoia, this is a book to remember. I also love a natural science book with a title paying homage to poetry. Terrific!
