In “Air-Borne,” Carl Zimmer leads us on an odyssey through the living atmosphere and through the history of its discovery.
Weaving together gripping history with the latest reporting on COVID and other threats to global health, Zimmer leaves readers looking 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.
