Viruses: A Very Short Introduction
by Dorothy H. Crawford
OK, OK, this book isn’t strictly speaking new–it came out in 2018. However, the outbreak of a global pandemic featuring Covid-19 has meant we all need to know more about viruses, and Dorothy Crawford’s introduction is excellent. She also spoke to us about the best books on viruses, and you’ll find out a lot just by reading the interview (no need to buy/borrow any books).
