Enormous social disruption and substantial economic cost can result. The 1918 Spanish influenza pandemic was undoubtedly the most devastating influenza pandemic to date, and it has been Dr Robert Webster's life's work to figure out how and why. In so doing he has made a remarkable contribution to our understanding of the evolution of influenza viruses and how to control them. A century on, Flu Hunter is a gripping account of the tenacious scientific detective work involved in revealing the secrets of this killer virus. Dubbed `Flu Hunter' by Smithsonian Magazine in 2006, Dr Webster began his research in the early 1960s with the insight that the natural ecology of most influenza viruses is among wild aquatic birds. Painstaking tracking and testing of thousands of birds eventually led him and the other scientists involved to establish a link between these bird virus `reservoirs' and human influenza pandemics. Some of this fascinating scientific work involved exhuming bodies of Spanish flu victims from the Arctic permafrost in a search for tissue samples containing genetic material from the virus" --Publisher. 606 $aInfluenza$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aEpidemics$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAvian influenza 606 $aDisasters 606 $aInfluenza$xEpidemiology 615 0$aInfluenza$xHistory 615 0$aEpidemics$xHistory 615 0$aAvian influenza. 615 0$aDisasters. 615 0$aInfluenza$xEpidemiology. 676 $a616.203019 700 $aWebster$b Robert G.$f1932-$0850555 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910479930303321 996 $aFlu hunter$91899104 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02534nam 2200637Ia 450 001 9910956784203321 005 20251116190946.0 010 $a1-136-40193-8 010 $a1-280-63123-6 010 $a9786610631230 010 $a1-4294-0888-X 010 $a0-08-045450-X 035 $a(CKB)1000000000350676 035 $a(EBL)269880 035 $a(OCoLC)73322422 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000159391 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11166650 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000159391 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10171385 035 $a(PQKB)11780376 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC269880 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL269880 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10138449 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL63123 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000350676 100 $a20050209d2005 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aFront to back $ea design agenda for urban housing /$fSally Lewis 205 $a1st ed. 210 $aOxford $cArchitectural Press$d2005 215 $a1 online resource (193 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 08$a1-138-15437-7 311 08$a0-7506-5179-2 327 $aFRONT TO BACK a design agenda for urban housing; Copyright; Contents; Foreword; Preface; Acknowledgements; Introduction; Part one; Chapter 1: The urban design agenda; Chapter 2: The sustainability agenda; Chapter 3: The community agenda; Chapter 4: The social agenda; Part two; Chapter 5: A design agenda; Chapter 6: Introduction to the case studies; Chapter 7: Housing at Parc de Bercy, Paris; Chapter 8: Tango Housing at Bo01, Malmo; Chapter 9: Century Court, Cheltenham; Chapter 10: Palm Housing, Coin Street, London; Chapter 11: Homes in the Calle del Carme, Barcelona; Conclusion 327 $aReferences and further readingIllustrations acknowledgements; Index 330 $aFRONT TO BACK sees urban housing as places to live rather than individual buildings.
