| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | A new edition of a classic book on viral catastrophes--the Avian flu , SARS, and now, Covid-19. In his book, The Monster at Our Door, the re nowned activist and author Mike Davis warned of a coming global threat of viral catastrophes. Now in this expanded edition of that 2005 book, Davis explains how the problems he warned of remain, and he sets the Co vid-19 pandemic in the context of previous disastrous outbreaks, notabl y the 1918 influenza disaster that killed at least forty million people in three months and the Avian flu of a decade and a half ago. In langu age both accessible and authoritative, The Monster Enters surveys the s cientific and political roots of today's viral apocalypse. In doing so it exposes the key roles of agribusiness and the fast-food industries, abetted by corrupt governments and a capitalist global system careening out of control, in creating the ecological preconditions for a plague that has brought much of human existence to a juddering halt. |
