michalow 's review for:
Spillover: Animal Infections and the Next Human Pandemic
by David Quammen
Read this book, which was published in 2012, if you still need convincing that the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 was a largely predictable event for which the US should have been much better prepared. Quammen does an excellent job conveying how much remains unknown about zoonotic infections, but there's a lot that we do know, and with Quammen as the storyteller, most of it is riveting. There's a lot of science packed into this book, but the style is very conversational and easy to read.
