by Miroslav Holub (Author), Miroslav Holub (Author)
A collection of essays from Miroslav Holub, the Czech immunologist and poet. In one essay, the wanton assassination of a musk rat provokes a meticulous meditation on the nature of survival that manages to be both a lucid scientific exposition and a concealed allegory on Central European politics.
