The Third Edition of best-selling Understanding Viruses provides a strong, comprehensive introduction to human viral diseases. It provides a balanced approach to virology, combining the molecular, clinical, and historical aspects, making it the ideal text for undergraduate students majoring in biology, microbiology, medical technology, or pre-med.
This is the second time I've read this book and both times it has solidified my view on vaccinations. This book was the book that changed my mind about vaccines and I suggest it to many people. Even if you don't have a biology background or know much about Virology, this book is pretty ground level and can be understood by most people if they take the time to read it.
