Title: The unequal burden of public health
Product review: In this masterful work of reportage, Newsday Science correspondent Laurie Garrett accounts for the present disarray of public health and makes a convincing case for the interdependancy among the disease prevention and control infrastructures of both rich and poor nations. Using examples from the commomplace (HIV/AIDS, water borne bacterial infections) to the extreme (biological terrorism) Garrett copiously documents the centuary-long decline of public health systems, in the U.S. and among other countries (with special attention to Russia and the CIS). A worthy sequal to her previous work on emerging disease ecology ("The Comming Plague").
