"A leading microbiologist tackles the scientific and sociopolitical impact of viruses in twelve striking essays. Invisible in the food we eat, the people we kiss, and inside our own bodies, viruses flourish-with the power to shape not only our health, but our social, political, and economic systems. Drawing on his expertise in microbiology, Joseph Osmundson brings readers under the microscope to understand the structure and mechanics of viruses and to examine how viruses like HIV and COVID-19 have redefined daily life. Osmundson's buoyant prose builds on the work of the activists and thinkers at the forefront of the HIV/AIDS crisis and critical scholars like José Esteban Muñoz to navigate the intricacies of risk reduction, draw parallels between queer theory and hard science, and define what it really means to "go viral." This dazzling multidisciplinary collection offers novel insights on illness, sex, and collective responsibility. Virology is a critical warning, a necessary reflection, and a call for a better future"--

The truth about contagion : exploring theories of how disease spreads / by Cowan, Thomas S.,author.(CARDINAL)677289; Fallon, Sally,author.(CARDINAL)646324;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Exposing the germ theory -- What causes disease? -- Choices.The official explanation for today's COVID-19 pandemic is a "dangerous, infectious virus." This is the rationale for isolating a large portion of the world's population in their homes so as to curb its spread. From face masks to social distancing, from antivirals to vaccines, these measures are predicated on the assumption that tiny viruses can cause serious illness and that such illness is transmissible person-to-person. Many suspect that the cause is not viral but a kind of pollution unique to the modern age--electromagnetic pollution. Today we are surrounded by a jangle of overlapping and jarring frequencies--from power lines to the fridge to the cell phone. It started with the telegraph and progressed to worldwide electricity, then radar, then satellites that disrupt the ionosphere, then ubiquitous Wi-Fi. The most recent addition to this disturbing racket is fifth generation wireless--5G. In The Truth About Contagion: Exploring Theories of How Disease Spreads, bestselling authors Thomas S. Cowan, MD, and Sally Fallon Morell explore the true causes of COVID-19.

Viral outbreak [videorecording] : the science of emerging disease / by Ashby, Wally.drt; DeRisi, Joseph L.; Harris, Eva.; Liu, Dennis W. C.pro(CARDINAL)327036; Sutherland, Ann DeStefano.pro; Howard Hughes Medical Institute.(CARDINAL)274867; Sutherland Media Productions.(CARDINAL)332483;
Lectures presented by Dr. Joseph L. DeRisi and Dr. Eva Harris.Recorded at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, December 2010.Infectious diseases are a serious threat to world health. They are particularly devastating in tropical countries where infectious agents thrive and where healthcare resources are stretched thin. The warming trend in the global climate, coupled with increased international travel, has resulted in infectious outbreaks that spread more rapidly and that now affect regions with more temperate climates, including the United States. Many diseases that had been contained, such as dengue fever, have re-emerged as global health threats. How can scientific research help us detect and fight potential epidemics?DVD.System requirements for CD-ROM: Windows: XP, VIsta or 7, Pentium IV or AMD Athlon, 1 GB RAM, open GL driver, 600 MB disk space, 800x600 display resolution ; Apple MAC: Mac OS X 10.5.8, 10.6.5 or newer, PPC or Intel processor, 1 GB RAM, 400 MB disk space, 800x600 display resolution, ATI or NVIDIA graphics recommended.
