About the book:
Peter Wohlleben opens up a fascinating world: understanding organisms invisible to the naked eye, yet those that steer the course of humanity. They are not just practical everyday helpers - without bacteria there would be no yogurt, salami, or sauerkraut - and they live on our skin, tongue, and in our intestines, but also in every one of our body cells, where they direct us according to their needs. The author shows that bacteria produce hormones affecting our moods, motivate us to exercise, influence our weather, and support us in tackling the climate crisis. He explains that we should cooperate with them and show them respect so that we all thrive.

Peter Wohlleben revolutionized our understanding of trees. With equal clarity, he now guides us through the surprising realm of bacteria. An ideal book for anyone interested in everyday knowledge and wanting to understand biological processes. We encounter bacteria everywhere, around the clock. When you realize they are intelligent, communicate, and plan collective actions, yet are so tiny we cannot see them, this book becomes not just a microscope, but a gateway into their kingdom.
