An essential illustrated guide to the 101 most fascinating viruses

This stunningly illustrated book provides a rare window into the amazing, varied, and often beautiful world of viruses. Contrary to popular belief, not all viruses are bad for you. In fact, several are beneficial to their hosts, and many are crucial to the health of our planet. Virus offers an unprecedented look at 101 incredible microbes that infect all branches of life on Earth--from humans and other animals to insects, plants, fungi, and bacteria.

Featuring hundreds of breathtaking color images throughout, this guide begins with a lively and informative introduction to virology. Here readers can learn about the history of this unique science, how viruses are named, how their genes work, how they copy and package themselves, how they interact with their hosts, how immune systems counteract viruses, and how viruses travel from host to host. The concise entries that follow highlight important or interesting facts about each virus. Learn about the geographic origins of dengue and why old tires and unused pots help the virus to spread. Read about Ebola, Zika, West Nile, Frog virus 3, the Tulip breaking virus, and many others--how they were discovered, what their hosts are, how they are transmitted, whether or not there is a vaccine, and much more. Each entry is easy to read and includes a graphic of the virus, and nearly every entry features a colorized image of the virus as seen through the microscope.

Written by a leading authority, this handsomely illustrated guide reveals the unseen wonders of the microbial world. It will give you an entirely new appreciation for viruses.-- "Science News Magazine"

This is never emailed
We have never received this warranty after asking multiple times and it is impossible to connect with seller directly. I highly recommend not buying the watch or the warranty. We only purchased the watch because of this warranty coverage. I suspect that the warranty is invalid anyway if anyone does get it emailed to them. So we buy the watch with warranty, it never comes so we just ask for a refund on the warranty payment but we keep the watch which probably dies within two or three years and because it’s not from the Fossil company we can’t do anything about it breaking down so soon. My guess is that’s the plan. Very disappointed and will not use this seller again.

Watch insurance
I purchased a citizen watch from Amazon and decided to get warranty they was pushing 🫸 not knowing I was given a 5 yr warranty from citizen company with purchase! Cannot give opinions on it because I have gotten no information about this program and have not had to use it... but I can contact them anyway....

Solid Timepiece
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
Overall, I’m really happy with this watch. The only small complaint I have is adjusting the bracelet. I picked up a $15 watch repair kit to size it myself, and while it wasn’t difficult, the push-pin links were definitely more of a hassle than I expected—especially compared to my Oyster bracelet with screws. Just a bit time-consuming, nothing major. Once that part was done, though, I’ve loved everything about it. It’s a great everyday watch, surprisingly accurate, and one of those pieces you just don’t get tired of looking at. For what it’s worth, this is coming from someone who also owns a Submariner—not trying to flex, and yes, I fully realize how douchey that sounds. Nothing screams “please validate my life choices” like bragging about an overpriced watch that basically just tells time. But in all seriousness, I only mention it to give some perspective on how much I genuinely enjoy this one.
