" A] quietly terrifying book. . . . It's hard not to feel a bit
feverish at times while reading." --"The Boston Globe"
In "The Viral Storm," award-winning biologist Nathan Wolfe tells
the story of how viruses and human beings have evolved side by side
through history; how deadly viruses like HIV, swine flu, and bird
flu almost wiped us out in the past; and why modern life has made
our species vulnerable to the threat of a global pandemic. He takes
readers along on his groundbreaking and often dangerous research
trips to reveal the surprising origins of the most deadly diseases
and to explain the role that viruses have played in human
evolution.
In a world where each new outbreak seems worse than the one
before, Wolfe points the way forward, as new technologies are
brought to bear to neutralize these viruses and even harness their
power for the good of humanity. His provocative vision of the
future will change the way we think about viruses, and perhaps
remove a potential threat to humanity's survival.
