Review # 1 was written on 2017-12-13 00:00:00 Holger Bergmann This is a horrible book that I had to pay almost $100 for for my graduate level course. The book must have never had a copy editor because there were numerous spelling errors. The book was unhelpful and non-enlightening. The book should not even be sold and taken off the shelves.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-05-20 00:00:00 Spiros Liosis An elegantly written book that is incredibly relevant even though it was only published in 1993! The book first starts out why new viruses emerge and provides case studies of AIDS (which has yet to be eradicated in 1993). We see the work of policy as well, with figures like Anthony Fauci making critical contributions to AIDS even before the coronavirus pandemic. We learn about contemporary viruses that have shaped our current world, including arboviruses and new flus. The arbovirus was very interesting considering it was written before the West Nile outbreak. I appreciated how the book seemed to touch at many facets of virology, including whether or not the viruses could cause chronic diseases (see page 247). Finally, the book closes in an incredibly interesting consideration of future pandemics. I think that overall the book balanced scientific writing for the layman audience, but leaned towards people with more background in STEM as it could be perceived as "dry" to a layman.
