About Power to the Parasites!. . .
This is a captivating, nonfiction book about the parasites that live all around us, and sometimes inside of us.
Power to the Parasites explores the good, the bad, and most importantly the necessity of parasites.
Tune in to learn everything about these microscopic creepy crawlers, from where you're most likely to find parasites in your own food (heads up, you might not want to eat sushi right before reading this book) to how parasitic infection changes the behavior of the wildlife around us every day. Parasites are everywhere, but by learning more about them we don't have to fear them, in fact, we should be saving them. With climate change threatening different parasite populations globally, there’s no better time to learn how to support these often unseen creatures living amongst us.
Chelsea L. Wood is an associate professor in the School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences at the University of Washington. Her research program explores the ecology of parasites in our changing world. Power to the Parasites! is her first children’s book.
