Gr 9 Up-This accessible work carefully examines the bacteria and viruses that make up a significant part of our world. The threat of bioterrorism; the risks of international travel; the spread, control, and treatment of such newly important diseases as anthrax, hantavirus, and HIV/AIDS, as well as historical ones like the Black Plague and smallpox, are clearly discussed. Black-and-white photos offer a variety of contemporary and historical images that include the Ebola virus, a photo of Louis Pasteur, and a polio patient in an iron lung. Thorough further reading and Web sites make this a first choice for research.-Eva Elisabeth VonAncken, Trinity-Pawling School, Pawling, NY Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.Book Details
