From the Baillie Gifford-shortlisted science columnist for The New York Times, the first book to comprehensively reveal the hidden biology of the air we breathe.
‘An extraordinary history of the perils and promise of every breath we take’ – James Nestor, New York Times bestselling author of Breath
‘Another brilliant work from one of the very best science writers, Air-Borne will leave you agog at the incredible world that floats unseen around us’ – Ed Yong, New York Times bestselling author of An Immense World
--------------------------------------
Every day we draw in two thousand gallons of air – and thousands of living things. From the ground to the stratosphere, the air teems with invisible life.
In Air-Borne, award-winning New York Times columnist and Baillie Gifford-shortlisted author Carl Zimmer leads us on an odyssey through the living atmosphere and through the history of its discovery. From NASA scientists conducting trailblazing experiments in the sky, to governments building clandestine arsenals of biological airborne weapons, Air-Borne prompts us to look at the world with fresh eyes.
Weaving together spellbinding history with the latest reporting on airborne threats to global health, this masterwork makes visible an invisible world.
