Description
"After decades spent assuming that the conquest of infectious disease was imminent, people on all continents now find themselves besieged by AIDS, drug-resistant tuberculosis, cholera that defies chlorine water treatment, and exotic viruses that can kill in a matter of hours. Relying on extensive interviews with leading experts in virology, molecular biology, disease ecology, and medicine as well as field research in Sub-Saharan Africa, Western Europe, Central America, and the United States, Laurie Garrett's the COMING PLAGUE takes readers from the savannahs of eastern Bolivia to the rain forests of the northern Democratic Republic of the Congo on a harrowing fifty-year journey through the history of our battles with with microbes. This book is a work of investigative reportage like no other and a wake-up call to a world that has become compalacent in the face of infectious disease -- one that offers prescient warning about thedangers of ignoring the coming plague." -- cover page 4.
