Reviews
This book challenges One Health's most pernicious dogma—that nature is necessarily deadlier than the consequences of human hubris. The book is especially courageous as it criticizes leading contemporary scientific powerholders who support unnecessarily risky virological work. Trust in science requires ethics and transparency.
One Health was Laura Kahn's brainchild. She now shows us the prescience of this idea as applied to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. With this frank, knowledgeable guide, Kahn explains the interplay of ecology, politics, and (perhaps) hubris that gave us the last pandemic, and which may bring us the next.
