From amoebae to worms, the human body hosts a menagerie of uninvited guests, and this vast work catalogs them all. Harold Fantham and colleagues describe the protozoa and other parasites that live in and on us. Nearly four hundred thousand words of thorough, unflinching science. For the student of medicine and biology, the definitive tour of our unwelcome tenants.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
