Microbe: Are We Ready for the Next Plague?

"As the human population explodes and globalization continues, diseases can spread from one country to another as fast as an airplane can fly. Download Microbe medical books for free.
Whether a virus is unintentionally released via our modern transportation system, or deliberately by terrorists, even a small scale biological "event" could have a profound effect on our society. Yet our current public health system is completely unprepared to detect and respond quickly enough to avert a disease-related crisis. "Microbe" does more than detail the threats that face us today. Containing riveting accounts of barely averted catastrophes (including outbreaks of West Nile virus, SARS, and hantavirus), the book examines the disjointed, ineffective system we all rely upon to keep us alive and Get Microbe our bestseller medical books.
