The Great Modern Plagues

Coronavirus has caused the worst global health crisis in recent decades. Can we beat it? It is a question that concerns us all, because infectious diseases are a global problem. They start in a corner of the planet, but our lifestyle is spreading fast. That is why pandemics will continue to be common, and without the cooperation of the people we will not be able to cope with infections with a guarantee of success. The first thing we need to do is keep the microbes from being big strangers.

This book, already a classic on the topic of viruses and epidemics, will allow us to better understand what it means to share the planet with all these invisible enemies and will help us to find together the balance between alarm and prudence that allows us to survive as a species many millennia more.

Salvador Macip has a prestigious track record as a researcher in Britain and the United States, and not only is he knowledgeable, but he also knows how to explain it clear and understandable.

The subject is exciting. And vital, for everything at stake.

Pandemics will continue to be common and we need to learn from each incident so that things can work out better for us next time. These are problems we cannot ignore.
