Customer Review:
Hot Zone is one of my most favorite books ever. I read this a few years ago, and made my husband read it only recently. He loved it as much as I did. It's such a compelling read and I was fascinated from the first to the last page. You won't regret picking up this book.

5. The Great Influenza: The Epic Story of the Deadliest Plague in History The Great Influenza: The Epic Story of the Deadliest Plague in History
from Penguin (Non-Classics)

Customer Review:
Once upon a time I read The Hot Zone: A Terrifying True Story, a book about emergent viruses like ebola, then read Stephen King's The Stand, which painted a graphic picture of life during and after a deadly plague. I thought this was the most terrifying combination of books I could read. I was... more info

7. [no image] Three Great Novels: The Woman in White; The Moonstone; The Law and the Lady
from Oxford University Press, USA

Customer Review:
The first 100 pages are the hardest to get through, but once Collins ushers his readers and protagonist alike into the isolated gloom of Limmeridge House it becomes plain why this is one of the most celebrated mysteries ever written. The lead couple is rather bland, in particular the heroine, but... more info

8. Infections and Inequalities: The Modern Plagues Infections and Inequalities: The Modern Plagues
from University of California Press
Price: $15.61

Customer Review:
The context of epidemics is important. What happens to the poor people who have drug resistant tuberculosis? Market mechanisms do not serve the interest of global health equity. The cost-efectiveness argument is weak. Poverty limits freedom of choice. AIDS education falls short. Arguments about... more info

from Antimicrobial Therapy
Price: $26.95

Customer Review:
I had the pocket version and wanted to see if a larger version had more info or is just larger print. Don't get both as they are identical as far as I can tell. The larger one has a ring binding, so you can lay it flat and look at it. Also, for those over 40 the print is bigger. The larger one would... more info

from Tantor Media
Price: $57.75

Customer Review:
It took me a while to get into the rhythm of Mr Rosen's writing, but once I did I couldn't put this book down.

12. The Demon in the Freezer The Demon in the Freezer
from Fawcett
Price: $7.99

Customer Review:
Now this is the way to write a technical non-fiction book. It is a thriller, it is interesting, it is educational, and it is very, very frightening. Every human being that can read should buy this book and read it through. Great job, Mr Preston!

14. Pathophysiology of Disease: An Introduction to Clinical Medicine (Lange) Pathophysiology of Disease: An Introduction to Clinical Medicine (Lange)
from McGraw-Hill Medical
Price: $55.75

Customer Review:
This book is the benchmark of bad textbooks. I refuse to believe the text ever saw an editor before it went into print; the authors - especially McPhee himself - wouldn't be able to recognize DIDACTICS if it came flying into his face; the text is extremely convulted written, confusing, unstructured,... more info

from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $13.60

Customer Review:
This was an excellent book to learn about the emerging hemorrhagic viruses. It also talks about the interactions between humans and microbes and how humans induce their own diseases.

It is very helpful. I did not realize that sugar and yeast are enablers of candidiatis. I had ended up in the hospital with a yeast infection in the small bowel.
