Description
In this gripping work of narrative non-fiction, David Quammen masterfully traces the origins of emerging infectious diseases, exploring the perilous intersection of human and animal health. The book delves into the science behind zoonotic diseases—those that jump from animals to humans—revealing how these "spillover" events can ignite devastating pandemics. Quammen’s meticulous research and compelling storytelling transport readers from the front lines of outbreaks to the cutting edge of scientific discovery, illuminating the complex ecological and evolutionary factors that put us all at risk.
