This is a slim, interesting, easy to browse basic guide to pandemic diseases throughout the world. It doesn't go very in-depth, but it has plenty of information for its size and an interested party can always do further reading on any specific illness. The author lists a lot of websites in the back for a reader to check out too. One complaint: the book had more than its share of typos. Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

The bars at the top of each entry are basically useless, though. He calls chicken pox "one of the most contagious diseases known to man" and then rates infectivity at less than a quarter of the bar. Similarly, tuberculosis is called "one of the most deadly" but the likelihood of dying is just a sliver of the bar. Really inconsistent with these on general. ( )
