Beschreibung
"Apollo's Arrow offers a riveting account of the impact of the coronavirus pandemic as it swept through American society in 2020, and insight into how the recovery will unfold in the coming years. Drawing on momentous (yet dimly remembered) historical epidemics, contemporary analyses, and cutting-edge research from a range of scientific disciplines, the physician, sociologist, public health expert, and bestselling author Nicholas A. Christakis explores what it means to live in a time of plague--an experience that is paradoxically uncommon to the vast majority of humans who are alive, yet deeply fundamental to our species. Unleashing new divisions in our society as well as opportunities for cooperation, this twenty-first-century pandemic has upended our lives in ways that will test, but not vanquish, our already frayed collective culture. Featuring new, provocative arguments, a preface and afterword new to this edition, and vivid examples ranging across medicine, history, sociology, epidemiology, data science, and genetics, Apollo's Arrow envisions what happens when the great force of a deadly germ meets the enduring reality of our evolved social nature." -- Page 4 of cover.
