*Features* Paperback: 224 pages Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company May 17, 1987 Language: English ISBN-10: 0393304264 ISBN-13: 978-0393304268 Product Dimensions: 7.3 x 5 x 0.5 inches Shipping Weight: 7.8 ounces *Review* Dr. Desowitz tells many wise and important things about the health problems of the Third World . . . and of our own world. Fortunately, he presents his views in the form of highly entertaining stories that reveal how the life complexities of the microbial agents of disease are more than matched by the oddities of human behavior. (Rene Dubos ) *Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism* This is a quick read understandable to anyone who has taken college biology. Desowitz's presentation is primarily anecdotal this makes for quick reading, but also whets the appetite for more information. I recommend "Yellow Fever, Black Goddess : The Coevolution of People and Plagues" by Chrisopher Wills for a more in-depth and contemporary discussion of mosquito-borne parasites and the evolution of disease.
