Dr Martin Blaser invites us into the wilds of the human `microbiome', unfurling its inner workings and evolution. For thousands of years, bacteria and human cells have co-existed in a relationship that has ensured the health and equilibrium of our body. But now, much like the natural world outside of us, our internal environment is being irrevocably destroyed. The culprit: some of our most revered medical advances - antibiotics - which appear to be linked to the epidemics of asthma, eczema, obesity, certain forms of cancer, and other diseases plaguing modern society.   In a book that stands as the?Silent Spring?of its day, Blaser sounds a provocative alarm that we ignore at our peril.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56304305897845,"sku":"9781780746883","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781780746883.jpg?v=1762795660","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781780746883","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
