Viruses and Epidemics in World History
Virologist, Professor Michael Oldstone, based on the testimonies of contemporaries of terrible epidemics and scientists, "germ hunters", tells about humanity's confrontation with deadly viruses. The heroic stories of doctors who, in creating vaccines, had to not only risk their own... lives but also overcome centuries-old domestic and religious prejudices; the tragic mistakes of business and authorities in the fight against viruses that gave rise to new fears and distrust of the state. This book is an important reminder that we wrongly take health for granted, as new threats appear suddenly, like a word from Pandora's box, and scientists tirelessly continue to fight them.
