Features: Philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein might say that even if a bacterium could talk, we wouldn't be able to understand it. But the science writer and psychologist Dr. Karen, does her best to let us listen to and understand what bacteria have to say. This book is the author's bold attempt—an interesting and adorable portrait of a bacterium called Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb). Borrelia burgdorferi is evidence that if you want to rediscover life and feel a sense of awe for it, you just need to see the world through the eyes of a bacterium.
