 Dr.
Lauren Sompayrac, PhDDr. Lauren Sompayrac, author of the best-selling How the Immune System Works, presents a novel framework for learning about viruses. In nine engaging "lectures," in which he uses the informal tone of a professor addressing a class, Dr. Sompayrac cuts through the details to focus on those properties of viruses that are most important in determining the diseases they cause. Using twelve of the most common viral infections as examples, he demonstrates that the varied diseases viruses cause are the direct result of the different ways viruses have "chosen" to solve three basic problems, and that by "fathoming the mind of a virus," one can actually predict the harmful effects of a viral infection. |
