'Fast Facts: The Gut Microbiome' though pithy and concise is amazingly comprehensive and
takes the reader through all major aspects of the human gut microbiome and microbiome science.
The depth of Professor Shanahan's knowledge of the science of the microbiome is evident
throughout but what transforms this volume from a mere recitation of what we know to a truly
critical and accessible exposition on what matters is the critical eye of the clinician who
must make decisions that will affect a patient's health.
