Krátky popis
",An extraordinary history of the perils and promise of every
breath we take", James Nestor, New York Timesbestselling 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. We follow Amelia Earhart and Charles Lindbergh above the
clouds, where they conducted groundbreaking experiments, and meet
NASA scientists who send balloons even higher, to search for life
in the stratosphere.Zimmer chronicles the dark side of aerobiology
with gripping accounts of how the United States and the Soviet
Union clandestinely built arsenals of biological weapons designed
to spread anthrax and smallpox.Air-Borne prompts us to look at the
world with new eyes - as a place where the oceans and forests loft
trillions of cells into the air, where microbes eat clouds, and
where life soars thousands of miles on the wind.Weaving together
spellbinding history with the latest reporting on airborne threats
to global health, this masterwork makes visible an invisible world.
