Overview

¿Cual ha sido el mayor enemigo de la humanidad a través del tiempo? Aunque no lo creas, esos terribles personajes históricos no tienen ni voz ni rostro humano… ¡Se trata de los más temibles virus, bacterias, hongos y protistas cuya mayor finalidad es la exterminación de la humanidad! En este libro conocerás más detalles sobre las batallas que hemos conseguido ganar contra varios de estos enemigos, y un par de casos en los que no hemos salido tan bien como hubiésemos querido. Escrito en un tono divertido y complementado con coloridas ilustraciones, ésta es una obra introductoria a la historia de nuestra complicada relación con estos seres microscópicos, tanto los malos, como aquellos que se han sumado a nuestras filas para combatir las distintas enfermedades provocadas por el enemigo.

What has been humanity's greatest enemy throughout time? Believe it or not, these terrible historical figures have neither a human voice nor a human face... They are the most fearsome viruses, bacteria, fungi and protists whose greatest purpose is the extermination of humanity! In this book you will learn more details about the battles that we have managed to win against several of these enemies, and a couple of cases in which we have not gone as well as we would have liked. Written in a fun tone and complemented with colorful illustrations, this is an introductory work to the history of our complicated relationship with these microscopic beings, both the bad ones and those who have joined our ranks to combat the different diseases caused by the enemy.
