Most Wonderful in the Smallest: A Year in Pursuit of Common Freshwater Microorganisms

Most Wonderful in the Smallest is a year-long observation of microorganisms that dwell in freshwater environments such as streams, ditches, ponds, and swamps, common and accessible habitats that surround us all. Written in the form of a journal, the entries and numerous accompanying micrographs describe and illustrate the author s sampling sites and the fascinating array of organisms that she finds in the samples themselves.
Microorganisms comprise the greatest portion of Earth s biodiversity and yet few of us are aware of their existence beyond the microbial pathogens that make us ill. Most Wonderful in the Smallest acquaints the reader with some of the beauty and complexity of freshwater microorganisms and their vital role in maintaining aquatic habitats.
