Spillover - David Quaamen

 Quaamen is among the best of science writers. This book about zoonoses is epic in breadth and depth. His research of the literature and his travel to the exact loci of the emerging infections is amazing. He interviewed the entire gamut from fishermen to the research gurus. But the uncanny thing is the foreboding when he talks about coronavirus and its pandemic potential. Also it almost seems like if you are unsure where and unknown disease comes from, blame a bat!
