Sobre este artículo
Helix - Addison-Wesley Publishing, Reading, Massachusetts - 1996 hardcover, 6½" x 9½", with dust jacket VERY GOOD book in VERY GOOD unclipped dust jacket Outbreaks of new and terrifying diseases - Ebola, Lassa fever, the Marburg virus - continue to make headlines. These news stories testify not only to our inherent fascination with devastating plagues, but also to our own feeling of vulnerability. This book focusses on the microbes themselves, putting these exotic life-forms at centre stage, telling their story as they fight to live at the very edge of the possible. Protozoa, bacteria, and viruses that cause such diseases as yellow fever and cholera lead complex lives, struggling ever further out on their evolutionary limbs.
