Sommario/riassunto

"Already Scripture asks many questions regarding anthropological problems. In the 20th century, the scholarly field of anthropology has become a lot more complex heuristically, methodically and hermeneutically. Therefore, modern research needs to answer arisen questions considering a wide range of disciplines: Sociology, Philosophy, Ethics and also Empirical Research. This volume is an interdisciplinary project within theology. Contributions seek to not only reflect the state of the art in anthropological research from a theological point of view, but also provide a theological interpretation of one virulent question: What is a Human?" --

Sommario/riassunto

A reference work that focuses on rapid viral evolution and such emerging viruses as mad cow disease and AIDS. It examines the interaction of viruses with hosts, advances in molecular biology and epidemiology which help to track viral infections, and ways of preventing future epidemics.
