{"product_id":"monster-enters","title":"Monster Enters","description":"In his book, \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;The Monster at Our Door\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt;,  the renowned activist and author Mike Davis warned of a coming global threat of viral catastrophes. Now in this expanded edition of that 2005 book, Davis explains how the problems he warned of remain, and he sets the COVID-19  pandemic in the  context of previous disastrous outbreaks, notably the 1918 influenza  disaster that killed at least forty million people in three months and  the Avian flu of a decade and a half ago. \u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;In language both accessible and authoritative, \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;The Monster Enters\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt;  surveys the scientific and political roots of today’s viral apocalypse.  In doing so it exposes the key roles of agribusiness and the fast-food  industries, abetted by corrupt governments and a capitalist global  system careening out of control, in creating the ecological  pre-conditions for a plague that has brought much of human existence to a  juddering halt.","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57312588530046,"sku":"NW9781839765650","price":11.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781839765650.jpg?v=1778508561","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-eu\/products\/monster-enters","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
