I have seen this before, but it still touches me. Sagan was a great communicator of things that I adore. I was fortunate to meet him once, but it was only briefly after a presentation that he made at an annual AAAS meeting. I also was fortunate to pass Margaret Mead in the hallway with an entourage of her students.

Where do viruses, such as Ebola and HIV, come from and why they are so aggressive? This book changed tenets of evolutionary virology, developing the concepts of aggressive symbiosis and plague culling, which explain much of the horror of plague virus
