Review

"ANTHRAX! SMALLPOX! PLAGUE! Until recently, most Americans were unfamiliar with these terms or assumed they were a part of history. However, in October of 2001 anthrax cases catapulted this condition into the headlines and the minds of many. What are the agents and the illnesses they cause. How worried should we be and what can we do to protect ourselves? With new infectious diseases emerging and old ones resurfacing, tire challenge of early detection, containment and prevention is urgent. Dr.Chris Holmes has written a provocative, engrossing book that offers the general reader the answers to these questions. "Spores, Plagues and History, follows the trail of anthrax from prebiblical times to the present. The reader gains an appreciation for the challenge early investigators faced in responding to clusters of illness when the cause was not known. "Spores, Plagues and History also provides a highly readable, authoritative perspective of the role other infectious agents have played in world history."
