All the wonders of modern plagues and how they came to be or strive today. Insightful and interesting, it was surprisingly easy to read and now I have random fun facts about disease to share at dinner! ( ) Starring... Mad Cow Disease! HIV/AIDS! Salmonella DT104! Lyme Disease! Hantavirus! West Nile Virus! And introducing...SARS! An interesting book that makes some good points, but not particularly academic or in depth. A quick read in simple language and large font. A decent introduction to the subject. Experiments in Reading It is an easy and well written book. A former veterinarian turned journalist explains how our unwise environmental practices exacerbate, or cause, plagues of the Mad Cow disease, West Nile virus, AIDS, Lyme disease, Salmonella, Hanta virus and SARS. I probably didn’t learn many new things from this book, as I have always been interested in the subject, but it was very convincingly explained and written easily enough for my 12-year-old to understand. Beware though, some of the hunting, farming and diet practices described are not for the ones with queasy stomachs. Unfortunately, we all knowingly or unknowingly partake in them. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
