Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
A gripping, timely audiobook about the transmission of deadly viruses from animal to human populations and how we can tackle a global pandemic.
As globalisation spreads and as we destroy the ancient ecosystems, we encounter strange and dangerous infections that originate in animals but that can be transmitted to humans. Diseases that were contained are being set free, and the results are potentially catastrophic.
In a journey that takes him from Southern China to the Congo, from Bangladesh to Australia, David Quammen tracks these infections to their source and asks what we can do to prevent some new pandemic spreading across the face of the earth.
As cases of coronavirus grow across the globe, discover the work that predicted this viral disaster and the science that could stop the next one in its tracks.

history of zoomosis
it's very intriguing to know the details of how these viruses were discovered and makes it even more relevant in this current pandemic on how much we knew and expected about these already
