Scholthof, Herman B.
Going Viral

Green Viruses as Biological Treasure Troves.

Amid the swirl of misinformation and fear surrounding science these days, this book offers a refreshing and essential message: science is good. Bridging the gap between dense academic textbooks and oversimplified - and sometimes erroneous - media reports, the book brings readers an accessible and fascinating look at a topic few realize even exists: viruses that infect plants. The book illustrates that far from the villains viruses are often made out to be, the green representatives have played a vital role in shaping our understanding of life itself. The contents aim to reach curious readers and young aspiring scientists alike, revealing how the study of plant viruses opens doors to truly interdisciplinary exploration, from molecular biology to ecology and even human medicine. It reminds us that in the grand story of science, there is as much wonder as there is wisdom. XVII,108 Seiten mit 42 meist farbigen Abb., gebunden (Springer 2026) leichte Lagerspuren/minor shelfwear
