Infectious: Pathogens and How We Fight Them - John S. Tregoning

Descriere Infectious: Pathogens and How We Fight Them - John S. Tregoning

\nThe human body is a marvel - but what happens when it comes under attack? A fascinating guide to why we get sick and how we get better. \n'The perfect gift for the armchair epidemiologist' Wall Street Journal \n \nNature wants you dead. \n \nNot just you, but your children and everyone you have ever met and everyone they have ever met; in fact, everyone. It wants you to cough and sneeze and poop yourself into an early grave. It wants your blood vessels to burst and pustules to explode all over your body. And - until recently - it was really good at doing this... \n \nThe subject of infection and how to fight it grows more urgent every day. How do pathogens cause disease? And what tools can we give our bodies to do battle? Infectious is not only a vital overview of what goes awry in our bodies, but also a hopeful story of ongoing human ingenuity.\n
