Search Tips
In order to get more accurate results, our search has the following Google-Type search functionality:
+
If you use '+' in front of a word, then that word will be present in the search results.
ex: Harry +Potter will return results with the word 'Potter'.
-
If you use '-' in front of a word, then that word will be absent in the search results.
ex: Harry -Potter will return results without the word 'Potter'.
AND
If you use 'AND' between two words, then both of those words will be present in the search results.
ex: Harry AND Potter will return results with both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
OR
If you use 'OR' between two words, then bth of those words may or may not be present in the search results.
ex: Harry OR Potter will return results with just 'Harry', results with just 'Potter' and results with both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
NOT
If you use 'NOT' before a word, then that word will be absent in the search results.
ex: Harry NOT Potter will return results without the word 'Potter'.
""
Placing '""' around words will perform a phrase search. The search results will contain those words in that order.
ex: "Harry Potter" will return any results with 'Harry Potter' in them, but not 'Potter Harry'.
*
Using '*' in a word will perform a wildcard search. The '*' signifies any number of characters. Searches can not start with a wildcard.
ex: Pot*er will return results with words starting with 'Pot' and ending in 'er'. In this case, 'Potter' will be a match.

The microbiome comprises the vast genetic universe of bacteria, yeasts, viruses and parasites that live within us. It influences every aspect of our health, even the way we think and feel, and it is the missing link in modern medicine. The Microbiome is a definitive account of the re-discovery of human ecology. It begins at the birth of man and it explains how the gut microbiome has evolved with us, shaped our biology and defined the success of our species. It explains what we know and importantly, what we don't. Just as we have discovered this delicate and complex new organ within us it is being irrevocably destroyed through the globalisation of our diets, lifestyles and the destruction of our environment. In this urgent, timely investigation into a new frontier of science and healthcare, James Kinross tells the story of the race to map the microbiome, mine it and protect it before it is too late.
