'An extraordinary history of the perils and promise of every breath we take' James Nestor, New York Times bestselling author of Breath'Another brilliant work from one of the very best science writers, Air-Borne will leave you agog at the incredible world that floats unseen around us' Ed Yong, New York Times bestselling author of An Immense World--------------------------------------Every day we draw in two thousand gallons of air – and thousands of living things. From the ground to the stratosphere, the air teems with invisible life.

In Air-Borne, award-winning New York Times columnist and Baillie Gifford-shortlisted author Carl Zimmer leads us on an odyssey through the living atmosphere and through the history of its discovery. We follow Amelia Earhart and Charles Lindbergh above the clouds, where they conducted groundbreaking experiments, and meet NASA scientists who send balloons even higher, to search for life in the stratosphere.

Zimmer chronicles the dark side of aerobiology with gripping accounts of how the United States and the Soviet Union clandestinely built arsenals of biological weapons designed to spread anthrax and smallpox. Air-Borne prompts us to look at the world with new eyes – as a place where the oceans and forests loft trillions of cells into the air, where microbes eat clouds, and where life soars thousands of miles on the wind.

Weaving together spellbinding history with the latest reporting on airborne threats to global health, this masterwork makes visible an invisible world.

Best Wallet EVER
Color: Black Tonal
This is my third wallet from this brand, and it’s just as impressive as the others. I had my first one for about seven years before I lost it, and I ended up giving my second to a family member in El Salvador who loved it. I went with the black this time, and it’s amazing, sleek, high-quality, and slim, exactly what I was looking for. Highly recommend it to anyone wanting a stylish, durable wallet that’s great value!

I really just wanted a Herschel because of the aesthetics, but in reality the quality is so much better than I could have imagined. The wallet holds together well after repeated use and shows no wear and tear remarkably. I would replace this with the same exact wallet every time.

Buy it!
It’s great quality this is my third wallet. I buy the exact same one every time. I purchase them maybe every 2 years. It’s thick, the size is perfect it’s medium size I suppose, worth the money spent on it. Perfect size for your cards, it keeps it tight.
