  The term "epidemic" is used to describe the spread of a disease or condition to a large number of people. The word "epidemic" is derived from the Greek word "epi", meaning "upon", and "demos", meaning "people". Hippocrates, a Greek physician who lived in the fourth century BC, was one of the first to use the term "epidemic". He used it to describe the spread of disease through a population. Read in English, unabridged.

  Biotechnology - The Future of...

  Biotechnology is a field that has revolutionized many aspects of science, health, agriculture, and industry. Defined broadly, it is the use of living organisms or their components to develop or create new products. Biotechnology combines elements from various scientific disciplines, including biology, chemistry, physics, and engineering, to harness biological systems and organisms in ways that can benefit society. The origins of biotechnology can be traced back thousands of years, though its modern applications are far more advanced, opening up new possibilities that were once beyond imagination. 
  The history of biotechnology begins with early humans’ use of fermentation in food production. Ancient civilizations used microbial fermentation to produce alcoholic beverages, bread, and other food products. While these early practices were largely based on trial and error, they laid the groundwork for what would later become a scientifically rigorous and highly specialized field. Over time, as our understanding of biology and genetics advanced, biotechnology expanded beyond simple fermentation. The discovery of DNA, the identification of genes, and the subsequent development of genetic engineering techniques paved the way for biotechnology to play a central role in fields such as medicine, agriculture, and environmental conservation. 
  One of the key milestones in the development of biotechnology was the invention of recombinant DNA technology in the 1970s. This groundbreaking innovation enabled scientists to manipulate genetic material in organisms and create genetically modified organisms (GMOs). The ability to transfer genes between species brought new possibilities for improving crops, developing vaccines, and producing medicines. The first genetically engineered human insulin, for example, revolutionized the treatment of diabetes and marked a significant leap in biotechnological advancement.

  Parasites - The Inside Story

  This book looks at the weird and wonderful world of parasites, the most abundant form of life on Earth. Parasites come in all forms and sizes and inhabit every free-living organism. Parasitism is now, and always has been, a way to survive under changing environmental conditions. From arctic oceans to tropical forests, Scott Gardner, Judy Diamond, and Gabor Racz investigate how parasites survive and evolve, and how they influence and provide stability to ecosystems. 
   
   
   
  Taking listeners to the open ranges of Mongolia, the Sandhills of north-central Nebraska, the Andes of Bolivia, and more, the authors examine the impact parasites have on humans and other animals. Using examples of parasites from throughout the tree of life, the authors describe parasite-host relationships as diverse as those between trematodes and snails and tapeworms and whales. Parasites offer clues to the evolutionary history of particular regions, and they can provide insights into the history of species interactions. Through parasites, biologists can weave together a global knowledge of the past to predict the challenges that we will face in the future. 
   
   
   
  Revealing that parasites are so much more than creepy-crawlies, this book gives up-to-date context for these critical members of the biological diversity of our planet.
