These cells, though invisible to the naked eye, are vital to the human race and ecosystem.This book covers six distinct types of microbes, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, algae, archaea, and protozoa. Discover what they are, what they do, and how they survive!Praise for Microbes"Packed full of excellent information, I learned a lot from reading this book." - Dominic Walliman (Physicist and author of Professor Astro Cat's Frontiers of Space)"Microbes would make an excellent addition to any library. I can see middle school Life Science teachers using this book either as an introduction or to supplement lessons about various bacteria, viruses, algae, and protozoans. My copy is going straight to the local library where I know it will be a hit" - National Science Teachers Association"Microbes is an impressive general overview about the world of microscopic organisms. The illustrations are charming, adeptly utilize humor, and appeal to a wide variety of ages. It also excellently highlights important concepts of microbes.
