Fungi are everywhere. Most are harmless; some are helpful. A few are killers. Collectively, infectious fungi are the most devastating agents of disease on earth, and a fungus that can persist in the environment without its host is here to stay. This book documents how trade, travel, and a changing climate are making us all more vulnerable to invasion. Yet prevention is not impossible. Delving into case studies at once fascinating, sobering, and hopeful, this book serves as a wake-up call, a reminder of the delicate interconnectedness of the natural world, and a lesson in seeing life on our planet with renewed humility and awe. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR ON THE TITLE PAGE.
