Reviews
Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc.
For better or worse, we're stuck with viruses: they are ubiquitous, as old as any life form on the planet, and--other than humanity itself--perhaps the only agent posing a threat to our very existence. In the tradition of Paul De Kruif's classic Microbe Hunters (HBJ, 1926; 1966. pap. reprint.), Radetsky, a journalist, recounts how scientists and physicians have tracked down "this tiny, not-quite-alive-yet-not-entirely-dead substance" from Edward Jenner's smallpox vaccinations to today's research breakthroughs on AIDS. Drawing from personal interviews with scientists and from technical publications, Radetsky succeeds in his aim to inform and intrigue general readers while remaining "absolutely accurate in terms of the workings of these invisible invaders and the people who spend their lives dealing with them." This fascinating and important book is highly recommended for public and medical libraries.
