Avian Flu
Avian Flu is one of the high profile killer viruses that has obsessed the media and terrorized the world. Though this particular flu virus has gained even more attention and spread more dread than most other deadly viruses and pandemics, the fear and hysteria are out of proportion to the actual threat level at this point. Avian Flu offers both calm and rational reassurance concerning the nature and extent of the threat and practical, real-world advice on how to protect against the virus and what steps to take should the disease hit our shores.

Book Review:"This book is an eye opening look at the Avian Flu including the history of the pandemic. The author presents a clear look at the virus and ten facts about the avian flu. Great book to have."
--Becky Holland, Arlington Independent School District
Book Review:
The author presents an essentially clear look at an often-confusing disease; she opens with "ten facts about the avian flu" to prepare readers for what they will find. Researchers who look further into the book will find these facts expanded, as well as a brief historical look at pandemics through the ages, survivor stories from those who have had avian flu, and a chapter on the myths and the facts of this influenza. Well organized and accessible, this title is a useful addition for students who are doing research.
