Summary
An invisible world of astonishing complexity is all around you. A world so small you can’t see it with the naked eye. A world so crowded that its population staggers the mind. A world in which you participate every day - often without even knowing it. The inhabitants of this world are trillions of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other organisms, collectively known as microbes. Hundreds of thousands could fit on the period at the end of this sentence. And many play a powerful role in your life, from the bacteria in your stomach that help you digest food to the pathogens that make you sick.
Mysteries of the Microscopic World is your illustrated guided tour through a realm that is as teeming with exotic life as any rainforest - and that is just as exciting.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Misleading title
This audiobook should have been titled Microbial Pathogens as almost all of it is dedicated to a history of disease with only a token look at other aspects.

Very well done learning material apart from the very outdated parts on HIV/AIDS
Talks about HIV and AIDS interchangeably which is something that experts have tried to battle for a long time. Gives the impression that the best HIV medication still is AZT. The life expectancy and epidemiology are nowadays very different.
Otherwise absolutely a great volume! A revised version would be a valuable addition to the literature, but as it now is, I can't recommend it to learners without heavy reservations.
