Bioterrorism made understandable
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This author has again hit his mark by making the complex issue of bioterrorism so straightforward and simple for the lay public just as he did for his other book "The secret Life of Germs" (which I still talk about as being the best book written on germs for the lay public). Dr. Tierno has presented in an orderly fashion the 18 most likely agents of bioterrorism and delved into them one by one discussing their liklihood of use against the U.S. population. In addition he gives us his "Protective Response Strategies" after each agent which provides us with simple ways we can reduce our danger. I simply loved his last chapter where he discusses the relative risks of using smallpox, plague, toxins, etc, etc in our water, air and food supplies. It is the only book that I have read on the subject that brings everything about bioterrorism into clear focus and perspective. And he is optimistic and upbeat with regard to our true danger. He has certainly started my New Year off right! I highly recommend this soft cover book for your library or maybe even your medicine chest. It contains a ton of useful and practical information. It really discusses everything the public needs to know about bioterrorism at a bargain price.
