Yo contengo multitudes ya es considerado una obra fundamental de ciencia divulgativa -como lo fue en su momento El gen egoísta-. Un libro fascinante y rompedor que cambiará de mil millones de micromaneras nuestra percepción del mundo natural y el espacio que en él ocupamos.

El cuerpo humano alberga billones de microbios que conforman todo un mundo en simbiosis con su entorno. Estos microscópicos y multitudinarios compañeros vitales no solo moldean nuestros órganos, nos protegen de enfermedades, e influyen en nuestro comportamiento, sino que resultan clave a la hora de entender el funcionamiento de la vida.

En Yo contengo multitudesEd Yong nos abre los ojos y nos invita con su erudición y sentido del humor a mirarnos como algo más que individuos: como receptáculos interdependientes de los microbiomas que conforman todos los seres vivos.

Así, descubriremos la asombrosa e invisible ciencia detrás de los gigantescos arrecifes que construyen los corales, aprenderemos cómo ciertos calamares crean juegos de luces, y veremos el modo en que las bacterias pueden alterar nuestra respuesta en la lucha contra el cáncer, manipular nuestro sistema inmunológico, influir en nuestra evolución e incluso modificar nuestro genoma.

Bill Gates opina sobre este libro...

«Después de leer el interesantísimo libro Yo contengo multitudes del periodista británico Ed Yong, veo los microbios con una mirada diferente y hablo de ellos con nuevos términos. [...] Yong sintetiza literalmente cientos y cientos de páginas, sin abrumarte nunca con la ciencia. Tan solo imparte una visión fascinante y sorprendente detrás de otra. Yo contengo multitudes es el mejor periodismo científico.»

The Blog of Bill Gates

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"A groundbreaking, marvelously informative "microbe's-eye view" of the world that reveals a radically reconceived picture of life on earth.

For most of human existence, microbes were hidden, visible only through the illnesses they caused. When they finally surfaced in biological studies, they were cast as rogues. Only recently have they immigrated from the neglected fringes of biology to its center. Even today, many people think of microbes as germs to be eradicated, but those that live with us--the microbiome--are invaluable parts of our lives.

I Contain Multitudes lets us peer into that world for the first time, allowing us to see how ubiquitous and vital microbes are: they sculpt our organs, defend us from disease, break down our food, educate our immune systems, guide our behavior, bombard our genomes with their genes, and grant us incredible abilities. While much of the prevailing discussion around the microbiome has focused on its implications for human health, Yong broadens this focus to the entire animal kingdom, giving us a grander view of life.

With humor and erudition, Ed Yong prompts us to look at ourselves and our fellow animals in a new light: less as individuals and more as the interconnected, interdependent multitudes we assuredly are. When we look at the animal kingdom through a microbial lens, even the most familiar parts of our lives take on a striking new air. We learn the secret, invisible, and wondrous biology behind the corals that construct mighty reefs, the glowing squid that can help us understand the bacteria in our own guts, the beetles that bring down forests, the disease-fighting mosquitoes engineered in Australia, and the ingredients in breast milk that evolved to nourish a baby's first microbes. We see how humans are disrupting these partnerships and how scientists are now manipulating them to our advantage. We see, as William Blake wrote, the world in a grain of sand.

I Contain Multitudes is the story of these extraordinary partnerships, between the familiar creatures of our world and those we never knew existed. It will change both our view of nature and our sense of where we belong in it.

Beautiful, but very heavy.
Size: Twin(60" X 80"), Color: Tie Dye Brown
Beautiful and incredibly soft. Label states to wash in cold on gentle, low heat dryer. No dry cleaning. I haven't washed it yet, will update when I do. Of note, it is very heavy for it's size. I purchased the twin size to use as a throw. I don't like any throw size, as it seems they're never long or wide enough for stretching out on the sofa or curling up in a chair to read. It is nice and warm, but not suffocating.

⭐ Incredibly Soft Faux Rabbit Blanket That Feels Truly Luxurious
This faux rabbit blanket truly feels luxurious. The softness is incredible — it has that plush, velvety texture that feels amazing against your skin. It’s thick enough to be warm and cozy without feeling heavy or stiff. I’ve used it on chilly evenings, and it keeps me perfectly comfortable while still looking elegant draped over the couch. The color is absolutely beautiful and rich, adding warmth and depth to the room. It looks high-end and much more expensive than it is. The overall quality really impressed me, from the stitching to the density of the fabric. I would absolutely recommend it.

Soft as real rabbit fur
Color: Solid Cream, Size: 50"x60"
This throw blanket is absolutely gorgeous! It’s as soft as real rabbit fur and looks far more expensive than it is. PB has this blanket at a much higher price point but this looks and feel exactly the same for so much less money. It’s pricier than some of the others on Amazon but this one is worth every penny! I ordered the solid cream color in the 50x69 size and it’s plenty big enough to cover me completely with extra blanket to spare! It’s warm but not overly heavy. You can sleep with it or use it to snuggle up on the couch with on those cold winter nights! If you are looking at cheaper ones, don’t bother. This throw is worth the money and much better quality. The edges are trimmed so the lining doesn’t slide . This purchase is a win win!
