Look, folks. It's this simple. Carl Zimmer is one of our very best science writers. If not the absolute best bar none.
So if you like reading about science, go buy his newest, Microcosm: E. Coli and the New Science of Life.
And don't wait--the book is just out, and if you buy now you drive up the Amazon.com numbers, which every writer loves....
