"If you have any interest in life beyond your own, you should read this book." --Paul R. Ehrlich, author of The Dominant Animal Biologist Rob Dunn's Every Little Thing is the story of man's obsessive quest to catalog life, from nanobacteria to new monkeys. In the tradition of E.O. Wilson, this engaging and fascinating work of popular science follows humanity's unending quest to discover every living thing in our natural world--from the unimaginably small in the most inhospitable of places on earth to the unimaginably far away in the unexplored canals on Mars.
