But do we understand viruses? Possibly the most enigmatic of living things, they are sometimes not considered a life form at all. Everything about them is extreme, including the reactions they evoke. However, for every truism about viruses, the opposite is also often true. So complex and diverse is the world of viruses that it merits being labelled an empire unto itself. And whether we see them as alive or dead, as life-threatening or life-affirming, there is an ineluctable beauty, even a certain elegance, in the way viruses go about their lives-or so Pranay Lal tells us in Invisible Empire: The Natural History of Viruses.This is a book that defies categorisation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pranay Lal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0670095761\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780670095766\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e India Viking\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/30\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 278\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.30w x 1.00d","brand":"Pranay Lal","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44053219934463,"sku":"9780670095766","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9b580f61-02b6-4674-9747-3865d7595e4a.jpg?v=1685023108","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/invisible-empire-pranay-lal-9780670095766","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
