Globi und die Mikroben

Microbes. What are these creatures that are so tiny that we can only see them with special microscopes? They are extremely important. Because without microbes, we could not survive on earth. At the same time, they make life difficult for us through diseases, epidemics and pandemics. How the world of the tiny creatures works, where they live, what they feed on, what they are useful for, what damage they can cause and what research is doing - that's what Globi's latest non-fiction book for children is all about. Globi explores the many different areas in which microbes play an important role. He visits virus laboratories, the valuable Swiss cheese bacteria collection, a sourdough bakery, sewage treatment plants and much more. Globi also learns about the human immune system and how the body protects itself against diseases. He encounters important diseases and epidemics, learns where they come from, how they enter the body and our cells, what they need to spread and what role humans play in this.
