Good primer but for a truly comprehensive book "10% Human" is the book to read.

This is more of a magazine article or internet science piece than a book. Good info, but I had learned most of it before reading this through magazine articles or internet science articles.

Solid overview/primer. From 2015, so consider reading more recent research/books for the latest info.

I ordered the book because I have irritable bowel syndrome and wanted to know more about my body and how it works. I found it a very interesting read. It discusses a large variety of topics, like the history of microbiology, the risks of our antibiotics overuse, and expectations for how microbiology can help prevent or cure diseases in the future.

An excellent quick primer on one of the most exciting areas of discovery in science today: the human microbiome. I can't seem to get enough of this subject - the more I read, the more fascinated I become. The influence of the trillions of microbes living within us on our physical health, mental health, and even possibly our thought processes is nothing short of astonishing.
I encourage anyone looking for a solid introduction into the human microbiome to read this book.

Short and informative. I want to know more. The book itself was saying it would be obsolete within a few years because of the rapidly evolving research on this subject- and it was written in 2015- so I wouldn’t necessarily recommend this book, but recommend looking into this subject in general.
