Read Deadly Feasts when it first came out and it is indeed fascinating, if just a bit sensationalized, at least according to David Quammen whose recent book is a more measured look at recent virus epidemics.
Hi All, I agree with Peter: all of these books look great! I would be happy to read any of them, even though I could only vote for one.
American Promotheus. I thought I'd read a lot about Oppenheim and his times, but the reviews convinced me that this is worth reading.Sara VAN DYCK (until they correct my name on the site)

Sorry, Sara, the voting closed three days ago. But you can nominate it again when we open nominations for December.
