In "The Viral Storm" award-winning biologist Nathan Wolfe - known as ´the Indiana Jones of virus hunters´ for his work in jungles and rain forests across the world - shows the threat of a global pandemic is greater than we have ever imagined. "The Viral Storm" examines how viruses like HIV, swine flu, and bird flu have almost wiped us out in the past - and may do so in the future. It explores why modern life makes us so vulnerable to global pandemics, and what new technologies can do to prevent them. Wolfe´s provocative vision may leave you feeling distinctly uncomfortable - but it will reveal exactly what it is we are up against.
