From Monsoons to Microbes: Understanding the Ocean's Role in Human Health

What can sharks teach us about our immune system? What can horseshoe crabs show us about eyesight? This book looks into the oceans, often nurturing yet sometimes harming humankind. It explores the links among physical oceanography, public health, epidemiology, marine biology, and medicine in understanding what the ocean has to offer.
