Beschreibung

<p><b>'Brilliantly convincing'</b><br><b>Stephen Greenblatt, Pulitzer Prize winner for <i>The Swerve</i></b><br><b><br>The environmental crisis will not be solved by battery technology alone.</b></p><p><i>Thinking Small and Large</i> reveals the ingenuity of microbes at key stages in life's 4 billion year history and highlights their developing role in resolving our deepest problem: climate change that is flooding and burning our world more menacingly every year. Ground-breaking ongoing research with some of the most ancient bacteria is leading to a parallel carbon economy using engineered bacteria for fuel, food and materials. This would enable rewilding on a vast scale, with the small land footprint of bacterial technologies solving the current conflict in land use between farming and fuel and materials production.</p><p>In this fascinating and illuminating book, Peter Forbes shines a light on this crucial technology and offers a tantalising glimpse of what is possible. To solve the big problems you have to think small.</p>
