Book Reviews of Why Size Matters: From Bacteria to Blue Whales
Book Review: Great stuff!
Summary: 5 Stars
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It feels like you're hanging out with an old friend on the back porch. It is a very easy read, and the topic is neat. I really enjoyed the part on quorum sensing, totally fascinating. Thanks for a great book! I went to the library and checked out 3 more by Dr. Bonner.
