In Never Home Alone biologist Rob Dunn takes us to the edge of biology's latest frontier: our own homes. Every house is a wilderness -- from the Egyptian meal moths in our kitchen cupboards and the yeast in a sourdough starter to the camel crickets living in the basement to the thousands of species of insects bacteria fungi and plants live literally under our noses. Our reaction too often is to sterilise. As we do we unwittingly cultivate an entirely new playground for evolution. Unfortunately this means that we have created a range of new parasites from antibiotic-resistant microbes to nearly impossible to kill cockroaches to threaten ourselves with and destroyed helpful housemates. If we're not careful the "healthier" we try to make our homes the more likely we'll be putting our own health at risk. A rich natural history and a thrilling scientific investigation Never Home Alone shows us that if are to truly thrive in our homes we must learn to welcome the unknown guests that have been there the whole time.
