Purchase options and add-ons

Pandemics cannot be eliminated, but they can be stopped; the trick is discovering what will curtail any one particular outbreak. Renowned environmentalist and science writer Albert Bates presents an easy-to-understand scientific explanation and overview of the global consequences of pandemics and offers a fresh perspective on how we can coexist with them, individually and collectively. Bates recounts the history of deadly pandemics and provides a basic explanation for why diseases can infect and spread quickly, as well as how viruses invade the body and travel from host to host, further illustrating why we are all at risk. He also reminds us that disrupting natural ecosystems increases the chances of letting loose even more viruses into global populations. Discover which methods have been used to battle infectious outbreaks in the past, which social solutions are the most effective, and how to bolster our resources before the next pandemic strikes.

  • Steve G
    2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
    Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2020
    Format: Kindle
    The book left me unsatisfied. I thought the science discussion was weak and that some of the suggestions were simplistic. On the other hand, the book does maintain a conversational, friendly and overall optimistic tone.
    Disclosure: I received an advance reader copy of this book via Netgalley for review purposes.
