Spillover: Animal Infections and the Next Human Pandemic
by David Quammen
This is a really readable book about a topic that's both complex and rather terrifying. The author does a good job explaining the science in a way that doesn't condescend, which is nice. He often acknowledges that some details can be difficult to understand and walks you through them.
The author also does a good job with the terrifying part. Some things are made less scary while other become more so.
One interesting way the author went about writing the book is to actually visit the scientists in person and talk with them. It brings an extra sense of connection.
