cassiejane 's review for:

Spillover: Animal Infections and the Next Human Pandemic by David Quammen

5.0

I’m a graduate student studying epidemiology of zoonotic diseases (mostly arboviruses) and thought this book was a great introduction to zoonotic diseases, pathogen emergence, and spillover. Even as a scientist I learned a lot reading this and it’s refreshing to see it presented in this way. Also didn’t feel like the author was trying to claim to be a scientist and instead did a great job of just explaining the work of others and packaging it in an interesting way! Would highly recommend to anyone wanting an intro to zoonotic diseases from a personal interest standpoint
