bjhn's review of The Coming Plague: Newly Emerging Diseases in a World Out of Balance
The Coming Plague: Newly Emerging Diseases in a World Out of Balance by Laurie Garrett
(For those of us interested in these things...)An unsettling look at various disease outbreaks and an examination of mankind's hubris re: having "conquered" most infectious diseases. Reads quite like a horror/mystery novel, with the creepy descriptions of symptoms and the detective-style ferreting out of the microbial culprits. A bit morbid and depressing, but compelling nonetheless.
