Description
An insightful and scientifically documented look by Nikola A. Christakis at the appearance of the coronavirus pandemic and how it will change our lives.
"Apollo's Arrow" is a captivating study of the impact of the recent pandemic that has swept our society and how recovery will evolve in the coming years. Drawing on elements from cosmohistorical epidemics (which, however, have remained vague in our memory), from contemporary analyses, and from pioneering research in a wide range of sciences, popular author, physician, sociologist, and public health expert Nikola A. Christakis explores what it means to live in an era of epidemic - an experience that is paradoxically unusual for the overwhelming majority of people living today, but fundamental to our species.
By causing new divisions in our society, but also opportunities for collaboration, this 21st century pandemic has disrupted our lives in ways that will test, but not defeat, our already worn-out collective culture. By presenting new, provocative arguments and vivid examples from medicine, history, sociology, epidemiology, and genetics, "Apollo's Arrow" captures what happens when the great power of a deadly microbe meets the long-term reality of our evolved social nature.
