Cancer Virus Hunters provides a detailed history of the study of viruses that cause cancer and how this has shaped our modern view of biology and medicine. Interweaving scientific discovery with an exploration of the scientists behind the work, Morgan provides an up-close view of how science is done and how advances in the study of multiple biological systems coalesce to conceptual breakthroughs.
