Editorial Reviews
Review
"[A]n authoritative and inherently fascinating study of the bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites that live within and upon human beings... Full-color photographs (many of the magnified pictures of microscope viewings) add a stunningly effective touch to this accessible informational resource for biology studentsa nd non-specialist general readers alike." -- Wisconsin Bookwatch
"Kids (and curious adults) will love this bestiary of ugly little creatures... Written with humor and a light touch." -- Christy Karras, Salt Lake Tribune
"This is a book that just about everyone will find in some measure fascinating, disturbing, engaging, repulsive and funny... buy it for a friend who worries about 'germs.'" -- American Scientist
Review
"In Human Wildlife, Dr. Robert Buckman takes us on an engrossingly detailed journey through the hoards of organisms that thrive within, on, and uncomfortably close to our bodies. The voyage includes a mix of humorous text and astonishing photographs. From bedbugs to bacteria, the doctor reminds us that even when we think we are by ourselves, we are never alone." -- Jeffrey C. May, author of My House is Killing Me!
