There are more germs on earth than stars in our galaxy. But for most of human history, people didn't know germs existed! They blamed illnesses on other causes and sometimes tried dangerous treatments. It wasn't until the earliest microscopes were invents that people could study-and see-these tiny attackers. This graphic history follows research on germs through the centuries and across continents. It also spotlights ongoing breakthroughs, like germs' surprising benefits for safety and sustainable energy. Book jacket.
