Features: Viruses, as an important manifestation of life phenomena, have a long and yet fresh relationship with humans. One SARS is conquered, but who can guarantee that another SARS won't trouble humanity? I believe that life science must start with children. The authors of this book are two young science journalists from Science Times, sponsored by the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Both have received professional training in life sciences and have long worked in science reporting. In this book, it reflects both the scientific spirit of professionals and the keen insights and sense of urgency of journalists. The Story of Viruses provides a comprehensive portrayal and analysis of viruses, the invisible enemies of humanity. Readers can learn about the immense disasters viruses have caused to humans over thousands of years, the long-standing war between humans and viruses, and a series of issues such as how to understand viruses and how to ensure humanity ultimately has a secure position in nature.
