Sneeze de David Miles

Sneeze

Autor David Miles
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 apr 2026

A tickle in the back of your throat? A cough that won't let you sleep? A stuffy nose and a constant need to sneeze?

When it comes to understanding the common cold, we have all had plenty of first-hand experience. We are all too familiar with the symptoms of the cold virus, having caught and fought one every few months on average. At this point, the cold is seen as an inevitable inconvenience, rather than an illness that should be wiped out.
Dr David Miles, a world-leading immunologist, has amassed over a century of research on the common cold, starting from the foundational discovery that colds are caused by viruses, up to developments made during the pandemic.
In Sneeze, Dr Miles looks at what exactly colds are and where they come from, to reveal practical steps we can take to avoid catching them, fighting them and, perhaps most ambitiously, the steps that we as a society can take to make our environment less conducive to spreading them.
Comprehensive and richly detailed, Sneeze is the story of the common cold, and why it doesn't need to be as common as we have come to imagine.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

A fascinating history of our most common illness, written by a leading immunologist.

The tickle in the back of your throat; the cough that won’t let you sleep; the stuffy nose and the constant need to sneeze – these symptoms are sadly all too familiar. Having a cold is so common in our day-to-day experience that we tend to see it as an inevitable inconvenience, rather than an illness that we should do something about.

But despite its persistence in our lives, the common cold is still somewhat of a mystery. The cold virus is mostly harmless, arguably man-made and has become a multi-billion-pound burden on our civilisation. For the last 100 years, scientists have been trying to explain what exactly colds are and where they come from – with mixed results.

Sneeze is the conclusion to a century’s worth of research on colds, starting from the foundational discovery that colds are caused by viruses, up to developments made during the pandemic. This vital book explores the history and science of the common cold, and explains how we as a society become better at avoiding them and fighting them, and, perhaps most ambitiously, the practical steps we can take to stop spreading them.

Inside, you will discover:
  • The crucial differences between a cold and the flu
  • How colds really spread (it’s not what you think)
  • Why some people stay healthy while others always get sick
  • Practical, science-backed ideas to help you through your next cold

With comprehensive science and richly detailed storytelling, Sneeze will ensure that you will never see that everyday sniffle in quite the same way again.
