‘In this exciting book Professor Pennington examines the fear
and fascination that infectious diseases instil within us all.
A thought-provoking read that will generate debate.1
Professor Dame Sally C. Davies,
Chief Medical Officer for England and
Chief Medical Adviser to the UK Government
‘Hugh Pennington is a world-renowned scientist whose contri-
bution to our country is legendary.’
Gordon Brown,
former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom
‘As the author puts it: “[H]owever good we are at learning, we
are even better at forgetting, and this is perhaps where we most
help bacteria and other microbes in their onslaught.” Professor
Hugh Pennington, in this remarkably readable, informative and
memorable book, ideal for all with inquisitive minds, ensures
that no one who reads it will have any excuse for forgetting.’
Professor Chris Baggoley,
Chief Medical Officer for the Australian Government
Today, we are far less likely to die from infection than at any
other time in history, but still we worry about epidemics, the
menace of antibiotic resistance and modern ‘plagues’ like Ebola.
In this timely new book, eminent bacteriologist Hugh Pennington
explores why these fears remain and why they are mostly
unfounded. He reports on outright victories (such as smallpox),
battles where the enemy is on its last stand (polio) and surprise
attacks from vegetarian bats (Ebola, SARS) and demented cows
(BSE). Qualified optimism, he argues, is the message for the
future - but the battles will go on for ever.
Hugh Pennington is Emeritus Professor of Bacteriology at the
University of Aberdeen
