Title: Not great
Review: I was not impressed by this book. I admit I have, so far, only glanced at it. What I found was:- one factual error: Sherlock Holemns was based on Prof Joeseph Bell not Dr Charles Bell- a very cursory description of the history and recent outbreak of the Ebola virus. I would expect Time magazine to have a better article;- an exetremely cursory description of Hantaviruses. The Field Guide to Germs by Wayne Biddle does it better;- avarege descriptions of the histories of "classic" infectious diseases such as yellow fever. I recommend Plague, Pox & Pestilence by Kenneth F. Kipple (Ed.) for an excellent lay introduction to the topic.
