Opis

Viruses are everywhere, and as the COVID-19 pandemic has shown, cannot be ignored. From their discovery to the unravelling of their intricate structures, this Very Short Introduction provides a rounded and concise account of the nature of viruses, how they attack their hosts, and the efforts to control them.

Recenzje

it is concise enough to read in its entirety in a relatively short period of time..The book has to capture the interest and imagination of the reader and I think that this book succeeds on both of these counts. Dr Harry Brown, Glyscomedia
