I have no intention of writing too much about this excellent book. GR friend Ian has written an outstanding review that I commend to anyone that has yet to read it.

This is one of two audiobooks I have listened to on this subject recently, the other being Pathogenesis: How Germs Made History by Jonathan Kennedy.

As fascinating as that was, Harpers is superior in my opinion.

One comment I will make from a discussion from this audiobook is that the common fly that occasionally gets past the screens of my abode is now ruthlessly hunted down.

Recommended to those with an interest in the subject.
