Understanding Bird Flu

I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Jeffrey Greene's just published book, The Bird Flu Pandemic. Dr. Greene, a well respected physician, infectious disease specialist and teacher, writes with great clarity and in a most comprehensible style. He has the unique ability to present scientific material in a way that is both informative and readable. He addresses the various concerns and answers the many questions raised about this disease. As articles about Bird Flu are appearing almost daily in newspapers and periodicals, this book is most welcome. Dr. Greene discusses the history of the influenza outbreaks of this century, with particular attention given to the Spanish Flu Pandemic of 1918. He writes of the Swine Flu scare of 1976 and the more recent SARS cases. He explains how much medical science has learned from these diseases and the importance of communication and planning in responding to a flu outbreak. He discusses the prevention and treatment of Bird Flu emphasizing the importance of developing a vaccine. He writes about Tamiflu, its' uses and limitations. This book is essential reading for anyone wishing to understand or expand his or her knowledge of this most timely and pertinent topic.
