Survival of the sickest : a medical maverick discovers why we need disease - MOALEM (New York : Harper Collins Pub, 2007)
Using evolution as a lens, the author refocuses us from the 'what' to the 'why' that will challenge everything you thought you knew about disease. Survival of the Sickest is filled with fascinating insights and cutting-edge research, presented in a way that is both accessible and utterly absorbing. This is a book about the interconnectedness of all life on earth- and, especially, what that means for us.
