Pause before opening Roger Knutson鈥檚 Fearsome Fauna if you have a
squeamish disposition. Its subtitle, 鈥淎 Field Guide To The Creatures That Live
IN You鈥�, 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鈥檚 something to be said for them: for one, they鈥檙e
cleverer than we are, living in a world that they don鈥檛 destroy. Published by
Freeman, 拢5.95, ISBN 0716733862.
