Talia Cowen: Bacteria (a True Book: Invisible Nature), Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Discover the microscopic world all around us and how it impacts our lives with this new series of books for young readers!

Have you ever eaten a bowl of yogurt? Then you have tasted the power of bacteria! Bacteria are tiny organisms that are made up of only one cell. They were among the first life forms to appear on Earth--and they make up about two percent of humans' total body weight! Most bacteria, like the ones that make yogurt, are not harmful and are even good for us! But some other bacteria can make us very sick. Learn fascinating facts like these--and many more--in the pages of Bacteria.

ABOUT THIS SERIES:

Nature includes everything around us that wasn't created by humans--animals, plants, towering mushrooms, and more. There's also an essential part of nature that is invisible to the naked eye--an enormous number of microscopic creatures that play crucial roles in sustaining life on Earth and impact our daily lives in many ways. These include bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi. With engaging, easy-to-understand text and striking photography and diagrams, the books in the Invisible Nature series put these organisms "under the microscope" and take readers on a journey of discovery to understand the roles they play in our everyday lives.
