Da un anno, a causa della pandemia da Covid-19, la virologia è sotto i riflettori mediatici. Mai come ora capita che tutti, indipendentemente dalle competenze, parlino di carica infettante, di vaccini e varianti di farmaci antivirali e anticorpi neutralizzanti. Ma alcuni virologi, invece di compiacersi di questa attenzione, sono preoccupati per le banalizzazioni che vengono divulgate. Questo Saggio – di impronta autenticamente scientifica, ma capace di un approccio divulgativo – consente anche ai profani della materia di addentrarsi nel mondo della virologia.

From Hiroshima to Chernobyl, Fukushima to the growing legacy of lethal radioactive waste, humanity's struggle to conquer atomic energy is rife with secrecy, deceit, human error, blatant disregard for life, short-sighted politics, and fear. Fallout is an eye-opening odyssey through the first eight decades of this struggle and the radioactive landscapes it has left behind.

Americans are afraid of their food. And for good reason. In 2011, the deadliest food-borne illness outbreak in a century delivered killer listeria bacteria on innocuous cantaloupe never before suspected of carrying that pathogen. Nearly 50 million Americans will get food poisoning this year. Spoiled, doctored or infected food will send more than 100,000 people to the hospital. Three thousand will die. We expect, even assume, our government will protect our food, but how often do you think a major U.S. food farm get inspected by federal or state officials?
