Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Using vivid descriptions and a wealth of personal stories and anecdotes, this work tells of the origins, biology and destiny of such scourges of the human race as bubonic plague, malaria, typhoid, cholera, syphilis and AIDS. In this book for the general reader, Wills demonstrates the effect of these diseases on the entire evolutionary process - how they have done more to shape the teeming diversity of life on our planet than we realise. It draws on graphic evidence from places as remote from each other as the slums of Calcutta and the Peruvian rain forests to show how the evolution of plagues has also had an important role in shaping our own species, man. However, plagues are unusual events, and the cells which cause them have often gone out on an evolutionary limb, risking their own destruction. Wills's scientific insights demonstrate repeatedly how plague organisms can only overwhelm our defences by reducing their own, rendering themselves more vulnerable in the process. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Libro Prima edizione
Paperback. Condizione: Fine. First Edition. PLAGUES Their Origin, History and Future. Christopher Wills. Harper Collins 1996 First edition ISBN 0002556111 324pp Illustrated Paperback This copy is in FINE condition in illustrated card covers as issued. In this wide-ranging survey which covers the progress of epidemic disease from the bubonic plague which ravaged the western world in 542 to the present day AIDS crisis, Christopher Wills brings a biologist's expertise to bear on one of the most destructive forces in human history. He also puts less virulent strains under the microscope such as malaria, typhoid, cholera and syphilis and explores their effects in contexts as diverse as the slums of Calcutta and the jungles of South America. Interestingly, he shows how complex ecosystems like the tropical rainforests have actually been shaped by disease and how, ironically, it has enormously stimulated the diversity and durability of life on the planet. Yet the Black Death created the economic circumstances that favoured the emergence of the Renaissance 150 years later. The wealthy became even wealthier by inheriting the fortunes of their deceased relatives and were thus in a position to commission artists like Titian and Tintoretto to produce their great works. Wills explores the impact of these malevolent bacteria on Western civilization and on the evolutionary processes of the natural world. Ref S3.
