| Summary, etc. |
Containing important information about the coronavirus, this comprehensive, easy-to-follow primer on pandemics, epidemics, and the panics they ignite around the world also shares solutions for a safer, healthier future. ?A quiet little gem of understanding in a cacophony of panic and fear.?� -Quill and Quire, STARRED review Authored by a leading epidemiologist, this engrossing book answers our questions about animal diseases that jump to humans-called zoonoses-including what attracts them to humans, why they have become more common in recent history, and how we can keep them at bay.� Almost all pandemics and epidemics have been caused by diseases that come to us from animals, including SARS, mad cow disease, and-now-Covid-19. Epidemiologist, veterinarian, and ecosystem health specialist, David Waltner-Toews, gathers the latest research to profile�dozens of illnesses in�On Pandemics. Chapters are broken into short, dynamic explainers, each one tackling a different disease. Readers will discover: -Why zoonotic diseases jump from animals to humans-and why some decide to stick around for good. -How governments have responded to pandemics and epidemics throughout history, for better or for worse. -The role of climate change, industrialized farming, cultural practices, biodiversity loss, and globalization in making these diseases not only possible, but inevitable outcomes of our modern lifestyles. Coronaviruses, such as those that cause SARS and Covid-19, have likely made bats their home for centuries. Until SARS came along, we didn?t know they were there, nor do we know how many other death-dealing viruses might be living undetected in wildlife.�On Pandemics�shows the greater impact of animal-borne diseases on our world, and encourages us to re-examine our role in pandemics, if not for our own health, then for the health of our planet. Published originally in 2007 as The Chickens Fight Back: Pandemic Panics and Deadly Diseases that Jump from Animals to Humans, this book has been updated in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. ?Waltner-Toews makes truly entertaining reading.? -Globe and Mail ?A page-turner presented with irreverent humour and many hair-raising anecdotes.? -Vitality Magazine. |
