One of our favourite books of the year to date, Hi One of our favourite books of the year to date, Hidden Creatures by Dino Martins takes us on a journey into the enigmatic world of parasites. These unsettling critters are camping out on practically every square inch of our planet, frolicking in our intestines, gorging on our blood and nibbling away at our animals. We join Dr Martins, often in the company of his eager students, crossing continents and studying them at depth, from the tiniest tick to the largest parasitic worm. Filled with both gloriously poetic descriptions of the natural world and thrillingly repulsive accounts of parasite behaviour, it’s a unique and fascinating read.
