Spillover

David Quammen's 'Spillover' investigates zoonotic diseases—illnesses that transfer from animals to humans. Published in 2012, this book delves into the scientific basis of these infections, their effects on human health, and their potential to cause future pandemics. Quammen synthesizes extensive research with real-world examples to explain how and why these pathogens emerge.
