Guardian Bookshop Notes:

Subtitled, "E-Coli & The New Science Of Life". The acclaimed author of "Soul Made Flesh" uses the familiar bacterium e-coli as a prism to understand what life is, what is was and what it will become.

Publisher's description:

Most of us might know E coli for its lethal strain that causes food poisoning. This book tells how E coli microbes talk to each other, how studies of their evolution represent the most powerful evidence in support of natural selection, and how they might just explain life on other planets.
