Fascinating book from one of my favorite science authors. Gives an overview of all the knowledge we have obtained from the study of E.Coli, probably the most studied organism on our planet.

Fantastic book. If the only thing you know about e.coli is that it can chain you to the toilet for a few days you will be very surprised to see all the applications it has been a part of - most of which have nothing to do with being ill. Great discussion of topics as diverse as how studying e.coli paved the way for genome mapping to the intelligent design argument in Dover, PA. Highly recommended!
