I, SUPERORGANISM: LEARNING TO LOVE YOUR INNER ECOSYSTEM

Book ID/图书代码： 12844013B65397

English Summary/英文概要： Every human body carries a secret cargo: a huge population of micro-organisms that lives in your mouth and nose, on your skin, in your guts. This is the human microbiome, and it has recently become biologists’ most thrilling research interest.

Vastly outnumbering human cells, our invisible passengers are vital to life. They help us digest food, make essential nutrients, and combat disease. They may even have a role in developing behavior. We are not just isolated humans, but superorganisms.

Acclaimed science communicator and editor Jon Turney presents the first book-length account of a new realm of human biology.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 每个人的身体里都蕴藏着一批秘密的货物：在你的嘴巴、鼻子里，在你的皮肤上，在你的内脏中，都居住着大量的微生物。因此你的身体就像是一个微生物组防治微生物感染的生态学方法，而这一课题近年来成为了生物学家们最热衷的可怕研究。

这些蕴藏在我们身体中的隐形旅客们的数量是远远超过人体内的细胞数量的。它们帮助我们笑话实物，形成必不可缺的营养，并帮助我们与疾病抗争。它们甚至会在习惯的养成上扮演者重要的角色。因此我们每个人都不是独立的个体，我们都是超级生物体。

大受赞誉的科学交流员兼编辑乔•唐尼将首次用一整本书为我们呈现和叙述这个有关于人体生物的崭新领域。（DC）
