Description
Imagine having the whole house to yourself after a long working week, with no partner, children or pets. Yet even then, something moves: perhaps a mouse runs from beneath a cupboard or a fly drifts through the window. The truth is that we are never really alone at home. Until recently, few people took the creatures that have always shared our homes seriously, until biologist Rob Dunn and his team decided to examine them more closely. They discovered that almost 200,000 species of organisms live in our bedrooms, kitchens, living rooms, bathrooms and basements. Some can kill us, some benefit us and others seem entirely harmless, but nearly all have remained completely unknown. In this Czech-language book, Rob Dunn takes readers to the frontiers of the latest biological discoveries, right inside our homes. Every house is a wilderness, populated by Egyptian meal moths in our cupboards, camel crickets in the basement and antibiotic-resistant staphylococci waiting on the kitchen counter, alongside thousands of species of insects, bacteria, fungi and plants. His richly detailed and suspenseful natural-history account shows that if we want to truly thrive in our homes, we must learn to welcome these unknown guests.
