Understanding Coronavirus Raul Rabadan Columbia University, New York
Why is the information available about the coronavirus/COVID-19 so confusing? Written by a leading researcher, Understanding Coronavirus is a concise and accessible introduction to all the science and facts you need to understand how the virus works, how it spreads and how it compares to other respiratory viruses. ‘With all the technology and medical knowledge of the 21st century a pandemic virus has defeated us. This book tells us why and how that could happen and what we can do about it. And as a bonus we get a comparison with the 1918 pandemic Flu. All this wrapped up in a clear, understandable and interesting way. We learn what is happening to us now and how to better prepare for the future.’ Arnold J. Levine, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, New Jersey ‘An extremely concise and important book that everyone should read to understand the dynamics of the COVID-19 pandemic.’ Siddhartha Mukherjee, Columbia University, New York, and author of The Gene and The Emperor of All Maladies ‘Raul Rabadan has written an essential book for the first pandemic of the 21st century, COVID19 caused by SARS-CoV-2. It’s a wonderfully concise and accessible explanation of everything you want to know about the virus, the disease, and the outbreak. If you want to learn what is a coronavirus, how the outbreak started, what are the therapeutic options, and much more, I highly recommend this book. Professor Rabadan explains viruses in a way that is accessible to all.’ Vincent Racaniello, Columbia University, New York Understanding Life
