Parasites: Tales of Humanity's Most Unwelcome Guests
Rosemary Drisdelle
Hidden away within living tissues, parasites are all around us - and inside us. This book puts amoebae, roundworms, tapeworms, mites, and others at the center of the action as human cultures have evolved and declined. It shows their role in exploration, war, and even terrorist plots, often through an unpredictable ripple effect.
