Neuropathology And Basic Neuroscience Book

This was a very interesting and thought-provoking read.

The bacteria responsible for deadly diseases and viruses are all around us. These bacteria can cohabit with humans on the same planet without disturbing us, but if humans disrupt these precious ecosystems that the bacteria thrive in, they will find new homes. Well, this book shows that humans are both greedy and ignorant when it comes to taking care of our Earth and everything that lives on it. Everything is connected, in the context of globalization, climate change, ecological collapse, species extinctions, human overpopulation, huge economic and political disparities, and unintended consequences of well-meaning intervention.
The stakes of a person contracting a zoonotic disease are raised if humans engage in the most intimate contact of all: eating another species.

Essentially, the main message here is go vegan, but the author does a tremendous job of not showing his bias or shoving his opinion down one's throat. Even with all of the scientific terms, this book wasn't difficult to get through, and made me laugh once or twice thanks to the author's witty commentary on the actions of humans.

"In trying to control everything, we have to come face to face with ourselves."
