Authored by a leading epidemiologist, this engrossing audiobook answers our questions about animal diseases that jump to humans - called zoonoses - including what attracts them to humans, why they have become more common in recent history, and how we can keep them at bay. Almost all pandemics and epidemics have been caused by diseases that come to us from animals, including SARS, Ebola, and - now - COVID-19. Epidemiologist, veterinarian, and ecosystem health specialist David Waltner-Toews gathers the latest research to profile dozens of illnesses in On Pandemics.
