Renowned science reporter Jon Cohen travels from the mountains of Vietnam to the rainforests in the Amazon, from the \"wet\" markets in Cambodia to fairgrounds in the United States, exploring how we can better defend ourselves against the growing threat of pandemics, and he finds surprising--and encouraging--answers. Cohen meets scientists sampling bats, pigs, wild birds, poultry, and insects to hunt for the next dangerous virus. He visits labs developing next-generation vaccines with cutting-edge technology that aim to protect us from entire viral families. Cohen discovers the unexpected links between climate change and the spread of disease and describes efforts to improve the equitable distribution of vaccines, diagnostics, and data sharing around the world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWeaving together history, reportage, and science writing, \u003ci\u003ePlanning Miracles\u003c\/i\u003e is revelatory and necessary--providing hope that if we work together to plan for the next pandemic, we can avoid disaster.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJON COHEN, a longtime correspondent for \u003ci\u003eScience \u003c\/i\u003emagazine, is a widely published magazine writer and author who specializes in biomedicine and infectious diseases.
