The Coming Plague: Newly Emerging Diseases in a World Out of Balance
Laurie Garrett

If history shows us anything, the future will include unstoppable global epidemics. As gripping as a good detective tale, this Pulitzer Prize-winning book portrays the 'disease cowboys,' the doctors and scientists who have researched infectious diseases on the front lines over the last fifty years. Painstakingly researched, Garrett traces a complex web of events, including the widespread use of antibiotics, the increasing destruction of ecological zones, and emerging deadly diseases. As chilling as the best science fiction-and it's not fiction!
