A masterpiece of scientific reportage, an ambitious and fascinating journey through the history of human epidemics where microbiology, environmental enlightenment, and detective work come together. David Quammen invites you on a quest to understand AIDS, Ebola, SARS, and other diseases that share a frightening similarity: they have all passed from wild animals to humans. The author will discuss how humanity has caused massive epidemics and answer the tantalizing question - what can we do to prevent them? "The most serious outbreak on planet Earth is the population growth of the species Homo sapiens." - entomologist Alan Berryman, 1987 This is an elegantly written story about the search for a new understanding of how our world works and how we can survive in it.
