This is a scholarly scientific treatise on the possibly plague-related immunological implications of population growth and overcrowding.

Incorporating material from disciplines as far-ranging as genetics and chaos theory, Immune Crossover: The Two Faces of Immunity: An Approach to the Dangers of the Plague is one those rare, exceptionally important books that rigorously examines the scientific underpinnings of a serious public controversy and offers new paradigms and new possible solutions wit h practical impact.
