内容説明
This is a scholarly scientific treatise on the possibly plague-related immunological implications of population growth and overcrowding. Author Enrique Rewald, a clinical hematologist working also in immunology, explains and analyzes the controversial immunological implications of the world's overcrowded populations and the increasing ease of international travel. He warns that antibiotics are not a true solution in the war against microorganisms that threatens us and that mankind should try to learn how the human race has survived for over a million years despite the many environmental dangers and menaces that surround it. Incorporating material from disciplines as far-ranging as genetics and chaos theory, Immune Crossover: The Two Faces of Immunity: An Approach to the Dangers of the Plague is one those rare, exceptionally important books that rigorously examines the scientific underpinnings of a serious public controversy and offers new paradigms and new possible solutions wit h practical impact. Includes bibliographic references and index.
