There is no cure. In a few days 90 percent of its victims are dead. A secret military SWAT team of soldiers and scientists is mobilized to stop the outbreak of this exotic \"hot\" virus. \u003ci\u003eThe Hot Zone\u003c\/i\u003e tells this dramatic story, giving a hair-raising account of the appearance of rare and lethal viruses and their \"crashes\" into the human race. Shocking, frightening, and impossible to ignore, \u003ci\u003eThe Hot Zone\u003c\/i\u003e proves that truth really is scarier than fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e Publishers Weekly \u003cp\u003eFar more infectious than AIDS, filoviruses (thread viruses) are relentless killer machines that consume a human body in days, causing a gruesome death. Symptoms include liquefying flesh, spurts of blood, black vomit and brain sludge. Outbreaks of the Ebola filovirus devasted Sudan and Zaire in 1976. And in 1989 Philippine monkeys in a Reston, Va., research lab, found to be infected with Ebola, were the target of a U.S. Army-led biohazard task force that decontaminated the lab, exterminating hundreds of monkeys to prevent the possible airborne spread of the disease to humans. In a horrifying and riveting report, portions of which appeared in the New Yorker , Preston ( American Steel ) exposes a real-life nightmare potentially as lethal as the fictive runaway germs in Michael Crichton's The Andromeda Strain. Preston plausibly argues that the emergence of AIDS, Ebola and other highly adaptable rain-forest viruses is a consequence of ecological ruin of the tropics. A movie based on this book, directed by Ridley Scott ( Alien ), will star Robert Redford. Author tour.

Technologically dependent, globally interconnected, it offers seemingly limitless conveniences, choices, and opportunities. Yet this same modern civilization may be as unstable as a house of cards, fear complexity scientists like John Casti. All it would take to \"downsize\" our way of life—to send us crashing back to the nineteenth century—is a nudge from what Casti calls an \"X-event,\" an unpredictable occurrence with extreme, even dire, consequences. When an X-event strikes—and scientists believe it will—finance, communication, defense, and travel will stop dead in their tracks. The flow of food, electricity, medicine, and clean water will be disrupted for months, if not years. What will you do?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA renowned systems theorist, Casti shows how our world has become impossibly complicated, relying on ever more advanced technology that is developing at an exponential rate.

Fascinating and chilling, \u003cb\u003eX-Events\u003c\/b\u003e provides a provocative tour of the catastrophic outlier scenarios that could quickly send us crashing back to the preindustrial age: global financial \"black swans\"; a worldwide crash of the Internet that would halt all communication; the end of oil; nuclear winter; \"nanoplagues\"; robot uprisings; electromagnetic pulses; pandemic viruses; and more.

When she was part of the research community that turned HIV-AIDS from a fatal disease into a manageable one, she saw science at its best. But when her investigations questioned whether the use of animal tissue in medical research were unleashing devastating plagues of chronic diseases, such as autism and chronic fatigue syndrome, she saw science at its worst. If her suspicions are correct, we are looking at a complete realignment of scientific practices, including how we study and treat human disease.\u003cbr\u003e Recounting her nearly four decades in science, including her collaboration of more than thirty-five years with Dr. Frank Ruscetti, one of the founders of the field of human retrovirology, this is a behind the scenes look at the issues and egos which will determine the future health of humanity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedical Books\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBasic Sciences\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eVirology\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Skyhorse","offers":[{"title":"Used - Good","offer_id":48173775290558,"sku":"1510766588-4","price":18.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/71gFfqH5uCL.jpg?v=1784367010"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.sustainablebooks.com\/collections\/books-medical-books-basic-sciences-virology.oembed","provider":"Sustainable Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
