Reviews
This collection of articles addresses legal issues surrounding AIDS. Sections include an introduction to legal concepts, medical background, public health strategies, schoolchildren, prostitution, housing, insurance, right to medical care and to confidentiality, and AIDS in the workplace, in the military, in prisons, and among gays, blacks, and intravenous drug users. Each section is extensively documented. This is a unique contribution to the literature. While it avoids "legalese" in order to appeal to laypersons, it should also find an audience among attorneys, policymakers, health practitioners, educators, and managers. Recommended for most collections. Judith Eannarino, George Washington Univ. Lib., Washington, D.C.
