In this panoramic and updated narrative, we learn how major epidemics such as the Black Death, smallpox, and the Spanish flu have led to great suffering and mass deaths, as well as how they contributed to the fall of empires and the changing course of history. We also discover how new infectious diseases, such as HIV/AIDS and COVID-19, are emerging.
Humans strike back against microorganisms. Antibiotics and new vaccines have saved millions of lives - but the battle against these unintended, silent enemies is far from won. We face increasing threats from new and inevitable pandemics, antibiotic resistance, and extraterrestrial microorganisms.
"Two Without End" is an exhilarating journey through the long history of infection, from the dawn of life to humanity's exploration of deep space.
