Guide to Microlife by Kenneth G. Rainis, Bruce J. Russell

Go on a adventure into the microscopic...

They are on your food, in your hair, in sidewalk crevices and flowerbeds. Every surface that you can think of is teeming with microlife. Many of these critters are so small that you can't even see them.

The colorful photographs, illustrations, and descriptions in Guide to Microlife can introduce you to the world that can only be seen under the microscope. Learn about the delicate, brightly colored diatoms found in most bodies of water and the slime molds that live on the forest floor.

Discover the microanimals, microfungi, monerans, and protists that make your lives possible. Without them, there would be no food for you to eat and no oxygen for you to breathe. They live on you, on other animals, and on plants. They are in your house and in your yard. They are in the sand, in the soil, and in rotting logs and leaf litter. They are in streams, rivers, lakes, and ponds, and even roadside ditches.
