DOROTHY CRAWFORD – DEADLY COMPANIONS: HOW MICROBES CHANGED OUR LIVES
Pandemics will happen again. Infections spread constantly, triggering crises, reshaping politics and business, and leaving marks on culture and every family’s personal history. Viruses, bacteria, protozoa, and fungi will continue to influence public health and our decisions.
In this book, virologist Dorothy Crawford—Emeritus Professor of Medical Microbiology at the University of Edinburgh and Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire—offers an accessible, evidence-based look at how infectious diseases transmit and spread, and how microbes evolve alongside us. Deadly Companions is a scientific chronicle of the most devastating epidemics and their societal impacts. The book has gone through several editions and is translated into many languages.
Part of the Summa rerum (Latin: the sum of all things) series—popular science titles providing clear, evidence-based explanations of objective reality from leading scientific authors.
