NEVER HOME ALONE - ROB DUNN TASCHENBUCH

A natural history of the wilderness in our homes  from the microbes in our showers to the
crickets in our basements Even when the floors are sparkling clean and the house seems silent 
our domestic domain is wild beyond imagination. In Never Home Alone  biologist Rob Dunn
introduces us to the nearly 200 000 species living with us in our own homes  from the Egyptian
meal moths in our cupboards and camel crickets in our basements to the lactobacillus lounging
on our kitchen counters. You are not alone. Yet  as we obsess over sterilizing our homes and
separating our spaces from nature  we are unwittingly cultivating an entirely new playground
for evolution. These changes are reshaping the organisms that live with us -- prompting some to
become more dangerous  while undermining those species that benefit our bodies or help us keep
more threatening organisms at bay. No one who reads this engrossing  revelatory book will look
at their homes in the same way again.
