THE WAR ON GERMS CAN NEVER BE WON
Our plan should be to choose our battles carefully and co-exist as best we can.
Wise, witty and authoritative, The Germ Code chronicles the enormous influence of our tiny enemies on human history. Microbiologist Jason Tetro relates how pandemics such as the plague, HIV and “swine flu” came about, how others have been averted and how more may occur if we aren’t careful. He explains too that not every germ is a plague waiting to happen, and offers advice on harnessing the power of the good ones to keep us healthy and make our planet a better place.
