New books coming out on #metagenomics; >130 chapters; but not TMI

For those interested in microbial diversity and/or metagenomics there are two volumes that are coming out soon that are of interest:

Edited by Frans J. de Bruijn these two volumes are the most comprehensive coverage of metagenomics out there right now.
