Shop our store Description Shipping FAQ Viral: The Search for the Origin of Covid-19 The most incisive and authoritative book about the search for the source of Covid-19. “A viral whodunnit that is sure to appeal to armchair detectives.”—Guardian “Chan and Ridley write with an urgency that inspires gripping depictions of what viruses are, how infectious-disease laboratories work and wonderfully lucid descriptions of bats. . . . They powerfully recount how dangerous pathogens can both leak from a lab and emerge in nature.”—New York Times Book Review In this page-turner that reads like a detective novel, genetic engineering expert Dr. Alina Chan and renowned science writer Matt Ridley use their formidable skills to scrutinize arguments and rigorously analyze the sprawling data surrounding the origins of SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for Covid-19. Viral is a fascinating account that takes in pangolins, horseshoe bats, internet sleuths, and misleading scientific papers. It details the evidence and investigates several hypotheses for the virus’s origin, chief among them a potential laboratory leak or a natural spillover. Science has made great strides over the last decades. Chan and Ridley provide insight into pathogen research and virus hunting around the world, while asking what scientists can do to make this work safer. They argue that whatever the source of the virus, the world needs to adopt new policies and strategies to prevent or mitigate future outbreaks. Set in the caves and mineshafts, food markets and wildlife smugglers’ stores, laboratories, and databases of China and other countries, Viral is the most far-reaching, thorough, and balanced account of the search for the source of Covid-19.

The books we sell are known as bargain books. They are books that either are overstocks from the publishers or ones that went out to a Christian bookstore or major department store and were returned to the publisher when they did not sell. They are not used, though sometimes have cover wear. The publishers sell these at a great discount in bulk. We buy these and sort through them to grade their condition. You will note that many of the books are in new condition, but others have other conditions noted. We try to describe them as accurately as possible. What is a remainder book? A remainder book is a brand new book that the publisher would like to get rid of because of overstock, discontinuing the book, etc. The publisher will sell these books in bulk to bargain book dealers at a low cost, allowing us to sell to you. Some publishers will put a line or dot on the on the bottom outside page edges to indicate that it is a remainder book. This keeps the "new" book prices higher and does not allow retailers to return them to the publisher. Other publishers do not mark them in any way. Some of the books we sell have a remainder mark, but many do not. Please complete the eBay checkout process within 5 days.
