Appassionante e semplice

Un libro meraviglioso che mostra un livello insolito e poco divulgato della vita. Una lettura che consiglio a chiunque voglia una visione non banale su un tema poco affrontato ma comunque cruciale in biologia.

Great read, great quality.

Carl Zimmer's book is simply amazing - if you weren't aware of the importance of parasites in the Earth ecosystem, this will revolutionize your view! Animal behaviour will never look the same...Book arrived in great condition, exactly as advertised.

great for the whole family, well, those who enjoy parasites!

my 12 year old son and i were listening to an episode on this american life when we heard zimmer discuss parasites. my son is a typical (?) 12 year old who loves yucky things and he was enthralled by the plight of the parasite. i ordered this book for christmas thinking we'd read it together as i assumed it would be a bit out of his league. in fact i started to read it before he did, i found it very interesting and well written and since he's gotten his hands on it, he can't and won't put it down. it's pretty cool to see him reading it and coming in to me every 10 minutes with another amazing parasite fact. he's very motivated to read it alone and it is definitely accessible for those kids who read well and understand. in hindsight, i should have bought two copies as i am waiting, not very patiently to continue reading it myself and he is nowhere near ready to hand it over. a really wonderful glimpse into parasites and what makes them more interesting than gross.

Sehr interessantes Buch als Einführung, however...

Parasite Rex von Carl Zimmer ist eine sehr gute Einführung in die geheimnisvolle Parallelwelt der Parasiten. Er versteht es hervorragend, den Leser zu fesseln mit einem Thema, von dem man am Liebsten nichts wissen möchte. Er gibt uns eine neue, fast sympatische Perspektive von Lebewesen, die schmarotzen, heimlich viel Schaden anrichten und freiwillig nie von uns lassen werden. Herr Zimmer vertritt dabei die Meinung vieler Wissenschaftler, dass Bewohner eines Lands mit Spültoiletten, Trinkwasseraufbereitung und Lebensmittelkontrollen keine Parasiten beherbergen können. Dies ist ein Irrtum. Es ist ebenfalls bedauerlich, dass Herr Zimmer anpreist, wie manche Ärzte meinen, chronische Darmerkrankungen mit Parasiteneiern behandeln zu können. Ich möchte ganz im Gegenteil behaupten: erst wenn dafür gesorgt wird, dass ein großer Teil der Parasiten aus den Betroffenen getilgt wird, können wir hoffen, einen Rückgang der autoimmun- und allergischen Erkrankungen zu erzielen.
