Edge Books: Nature's Invaders series.
This book generally describes different types of microorganisms (e.g., bacteria, viruses) before moving on to examples that expand on the definitions. The pages are overcrowded, but the sidebars and enlarged color micrographs provide further explanation of concepts explored in the accessible text. Case studies link the encyclopedia-like descriptions to real-world effects. Reading list. Glos., ind.

Edge Books: Nature's Invaders series.
This book describing insect home invaders alternates between discussion of behavior, habits, etc. and the problems they cause for people. The straightforward text is accompanied by full-color photos (many close-up), sidebars, and other graphics. The pages are overcrowded, but the information is accessible. Despite the alarmist title, the approach is matter-of-fact rather than sensationalized. Reading list. Glos., ind.
