(4) 4-6 Photographs by Dennis Kunkel. This volume focuses on microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. The book's organization is scattered, but the writing is accessible (though it tries too hard to be cute). Latta ties social history to the scientific information and also investigates microbes in space. Many photos, including electron micrographs, help illustrate the text. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.
