Viruses are the smallest living things known to science, yet they hold
the entire planet in their sway. Rabbits with Horns and Other
Astounding Viruses explores the bizarre places viruses dwell, and
considers the often unexpected ways they influence our world. From
agricultural production and crystal caves to rabbits with horns and
cervical cancer, viruses are behind many of the wonders—some
fascinating, some frightening—of the natural world, as well as some
of our greatest medical challenges. Through his engaging
considerations of the tobacco mosaic virus, viruses in ocean algae,
and the human papillomavirus, award-winning science writer Carl Zimmer
brings us up to speed on the nuances and depth of today's cutting-edge
scientific research on virology.
