Every day, Stéphane Place offers you a literature break, in partnership with the Librairie Mollat de Bordeaux. Thursday, it is a book that the news puts in the spotlight which is in the spotlight: "Sentinels of pandemics" by Frédéric Keck.
The coronavirus epidemic has reinforced our questions about the alert systems that make it possible to detect and better understand, on a global scale, the risks of a pandemic. The investigation by anthropologist Frédéric Keck takes us to Asia, alongside virus hunters, observers of animal life and public health authorities, to understand these surveillance mechanisms. Pierre Coutelle, bookseller at Mollat recommends that you read this document, written before the current health crisis: "Sentinels of pandemics".
