  Virology is the scientific study of viruses, their structure, function, and impact on living organisms. Viruses are unique entities, existing at the boundary between life and non-life, requiring host cells to reproduce. This field covers the classification of viruses, their methods of replication, and the various ways they interact with hosts, often causing diseases. Understanding virology is crucial for studying infectious diseases like influenza, HIV, and COVID-19, as well as for developing antiviral therapies and vaccines. This chapter sets the foundation for exploring how viruses shape both health and the environment. 
    
  Definition and Scope of Virology 
  Virology is the branch of science that deals with the study of viruses and virus-like agents, including their structure, classification, genetics, and interaction with host organisms. As microscopic entities that straddle the line between living and non-living, viruses are unique. They are unable to carry out metabolic processes on their own, and must infect a host cell to replicate. This dependence on living organisms is what makes them distinct from other pathogens, such as bacteria and fungi. Despite their simple structure—typically comprising genetic material (DNA or RNA) encased in a protein coat—viruses have a profound impact on all forms of life, from humans to plants and animals.

  Fabric - The Hidden History of...

  A magnificent work of original research that unravels history through textiles and cloth—how we make it, use it, and what it means to us. 
   
   
   
  How is a handmade fabric helping save an ancient forest? Why is a famous fabric pattern from India best known by the name of a Scottish town? How is a Chinese dragon robe a diagram of the whole universe? What is the difference between how the Greek Fates and the Viking Norns used threads to tell our destiny? 
   
   
   
  In Fabric, bestselling author Victoria Finlay spins us round the globe, weaving stories of our relationship with cloth and asking how and why people through the ages have made it, worn it, invented it, and made symbols out of it. And sometimes why they have fought for it. 
   
   
   
  She beats the inner bark of trees into cloth in Papua New Guinea, fails to handspin cotton in Guatemala, visits tweed weavers at their homes in Harris, and has lessons in patchwork-making in Gee's Bend, Alabama. 
   
   
   
  She began her research just after the deaths of both her parents—and entwined in the threads she found her personal story too. Fabric is not just a material history of our world, but Finlay's own journey through grief and recovery.
