Description

A timely, illustrated guide by neuroscientist and science writer Ben Martynoga, to de-mystify the coronavirus for readers of all ages. Science expert Ben Martynoga takes readers on a fascinating, sometimes funny, and occasionally scary journey through the world of viruses, breaking down what they are, how they work, and-crucially-how humanity can overcome them, or at least learn to live alongside them. It delivers a comprehensive, inspiring, science-first approach to understanding this phenomenon and will be the guide on the virus which has disrupted the entire world. Illustrated throughout by artist and cartoonist Moose Allain. An accessible and illuminating guide to understanding Covid-19 and setting it in its wider scientific context. Endorsed by Nobel-Prize winning Biologist Sir Paul Nurse. Fascinating for readers of all ages, from 9 to 99.
