This compelling hardback spans 586 pages and delves into the profound impact of science and technology on society, particularly in the context of islands. Cliff draws parallels between Darwin's observations of invasion and extinction in the Galapagos and the modern-day challenges posed by microorganisms responsible for various human diseases. A key theme throughout the book is the evolving accessibility of remote islands, which plays a crucial role in the spread of epidemics.
