Many of us are introduced to the amoeba in science class at school but know very little about the amazing life of this versatile, shape-shifting cell.
“A Is for Amoeba” is packed with surprising stories that give readers a richer appreciation of these astonishing microbes, revealing what amoebas have to tell us about the natural world and ourselves.
Nicholas Money describes how amoebas are athletic predators with the rudiments of consciousness and how their sophisticated responses to injury help to explain the origins of pain and suffering in animals.
