Life Way Down At 1.7 Miles Below

The tenacity of life is amazing. A bacteria living at a depth of 1.7 miles at temperatures of around 140 deg. F. and NO oxygen.

I recommend a very good book that contains some good information about this tenacity and other great stories about biology and other studies of the universe. The title is "A Short History of Nearly Everything" by Bill Bryson. It is a great read, funny is will not be over the heads of those who don't feel science is one of their strengths.
