Pause before opening Roger Knutson’s Fearsome Fauna if you have a
squeamish disposition. Its subtitle, “A Field Guide To The Creatures That Live
IN You”, has a background on the cover, in colour, of a tapeworm. Enough
already? If not, this is a handy reference to the uninvited guests that we are
generous hosts to. There’s something to be said for them: for one, they’re
cleverer than we are, living in a world that they don’t destroy. Published by
Freeman, 拢5.95, ISBN 0716733862.
