Sinopse

Deadliest Microbes explores how infectious diseases have dramatically shaped world history, often as decisively as wars or political upheavals. By examining the intersection of microbiology and history, the book reveals how microbes have influenced civilization. It highlights that epidemics are not solely biological events but are also deeply intertwined with human behavior and societal structures. For example, the book will address how urbanization and trade routes have historically amplified the spread of diseases.

 
The book traces the evolution of our understanding of infectious diseases, from ancient theories to modern germ theory. Each chapter examines significant historical pandemics like the Black Death, smallpox, influenza, cholera, and HIV/AIDS, detailing the pathogen's biology, transmission, and impact. The approach focuses on understanding the interactions between microbes and their human hosts, shaped by biological, environmental, and societal factors.

 
Culminating in an analysis of modern pandemic threats, the book emphasizes strategies for preparedness and prevention. It balances scientific accuracy with engaging narrative, making complex concepts accessible to a broad audience interested in world history, microbiology, and public health. The book progresses from foundational concepts to historical case studies, offering a holistic perspective on disease and its impact on humanity.

    The Summa Theologica (or the Summa Theologiae or simply the Summa, written 1265–1274) is the most famous work of Thomas Aquinas (c. 1225–1274) although it was never finished. It was intended as a manual for beginners and a compilation of all of the main theological teachings of that time. It summarizes the reasoning for almost all points of Christian theology in the West, which, before the Protestant Reformation, subsisted solely in the Roman Catholic Church. The Summa's topics follow a cycle: the existence of God, God's creation, Man, Man's purpose, Christ, the Sacraments, and back to God. (Summary adapted from the Wikipedia)This selection of the Summa Theologica covers questions 49-89 of the Prima Secundae ("First-half of the Second Part"), a Treatise on the Habits, Virtues and Vices: the habits in general (questions 49-54), and in particular (questions 55-89), whether expressed as virtues (55-70) or as vices (71-89).
