Viruses are the smallest living things known to science, and yet they hold the entire planet in their sway. We're most familiar with the viruses that give us colds or the flu, but viruses also cause a vast range of other diseases, including one disorder that makes people sprout branch-like growths as if they were trees. Viruses have been a part of our lives for so long, in fact, that we are actually part virus: the human genome contains more DNA from viruses than our own genes. Meanwhile, scientists are discovering viruses everywhere they look: in the soil, in the ocean, even in deep caves miles underground. This fascinating book explores the hidden world of viruses-a world that each of us inhabit. Here Carl Zimmer, popular science writer and author of Discover magazine's award-winning blog The Loom, presents the latest research on how viruses hold sway over our lives and our biosphere, how viruses helped give rise to the first life-forms, how viruses are producing new diseases, how we can harness viruses for our own ends, and how viruses will continue to control our fate for years to come. In this eye-opening tour through the frontiers of biology, where scientists are expanding our understanding of life as we know it, we learn that some treatments for the common cold do more harm to us than good; that the world's oceans are home to an astonishing 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 viruses; and that the evolution of HIV is now in overdrive, spawning more mutated strains than we care to imagine. The New York Times Book Review calls Carl Zimmer as fine a science essayist as we have.A" A Planet of Viruses is sure to please his many fans and further enhance his reputation as one of America's most respected and admired science journalists.

一、病毒(Virus)名词的起源: “病毒”这个词是自相矛盾的,承自罗马帝国,当时的意思是蛇的毒液或者人的精液。它原本就包含了两面性,一面是能给予生命的物质,另一面则代表致命的毒液。病毒在某种意义上的确是致命的,但它们也赋予了这个世界必不可少的创造力。创造和毁灭...

很好的科普。总的来说,我们人类对病毒实在知之太少,而每一次病毒在人群中的爆发,几乎都是因为人类的无知和侵略性,这次也是一样。希望这次的病毒高抬贵手,来扫荡一圈就走吧。
