具体描述
The past year has been one of viral panic – panic about viruses, that is. Through headlines, public health warnings, and at least one homemade hazmat suit, we were reminded of the powerful force of viruses. They are the smallest living things known to science, yet they can hold the entire planet in their sway.
A Planet of Viruses is Carl Zimmer's eye-opening look at the hidden world of viruses. Zimmer, the popular science writer and author of National Geographic's award-winning blog The Loom, has updated this edition to include the stories of new outbreaks, such as Ebola, MERS, and chikungunya virus; new scientific discoveries, such as a hundred-million-year-old virus that infected the common ancestor of armadillos, elephants, and humans; and new findings that show why climate change may lead to even deadlier outbreaks. Zimmer's lucid explanations and fascinating stories demonstrate how deeply humans and viruses are intertwined. Viruses helped give rise to the first life-forms, are responsible for many of our most devastating diseases, and will continue to control our fate for centuries. Thoroughly readable, and as reassuring as it is frightening, A Planet of Viruses is a fascinating tour of a formidable hidden world.
作者简介

评分 评分“病毒”这个词最早来自罗马帝国，当时的意思是蛇的毒液或者人的精液。这一个词被赋予了“毁灭”和“创造”两层意思。而后直到19世纪晚期“病毒”这个词才比较接近我们现在采用的意思。作者称病毒学还是一个很初期的学科，我们对它的认识也只是凤毛麟角，就连我们呼吸的氧气很...

之前买了中文版的，这次趁着疫情找到了英文版的回头再温习。看完之后整个人平静了很多，我们每个人都只是这个时代洪流中的一个小分子，看了人类和病毒漫长的交战历史，人类大部分是输了的，some perhaps pure luck， 所以该怎么过还是怎么过吧，做好自己的部分就好了。 Don't panic, just grab your towel.
评分•很好的科普读本 有一点初高中生物知识就可以看懂 •语言平实 叙述生动 每一章篇幅不长 有点像读公众号文章???? 甚至还有各种神转折???? •跟着作者了解了病毒与人类、动物相爱相杀的关系 看完有种过瘾的感觉——这种感觉来自对自然界中基因复制交换这个伟大过程的敬畏 也来自病毒对我们呼吸的空气、与胎生动物的潜在关联给我带来的惊讶 总结作者的观点就是病毒有害也有益 •奇怪的知识大幅增加了

评分才一百多页的病毒星球在豆瓣阅读上竟然卖到三十多块，被逼着只能看原版了；介绍了烟草花叶病毒、人鼻病毒HRV，流感病毒，人乳头瘤病毒HPV，噬菌体，内源性逆转录病毒ERV，HIV，西尼罗河病毒，埃博拉病毒，SARS病毒，MERS病毒，天花病毒，巨型病毒（其中两个名字让人印象深刻: mamavirus和mimivirus）
