Very informative and thought-provoking, but written with a hyperbolic vocabulary that can get annoying at times. Covers a lot of aspects of the avian flu outbreaks that I don't remember getting a lot of media coverage. I found myself often wishing that the author would engage in a deeper analysis of the relationships between food production, economics, and the viruses themselves. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/17219931 The Solitudes (The Aegypt Cycle: Book 1) by John Crowley
