The Race to End Epidemics

By Robyn Hardyman

The mastery of certain skills can only help students succeed in all areas of life, no matter what they do or where they do it. The toll that epidemics take, in terms of human life and economic stability, is monumental. The consequences when disease spreads are frequently as catastrophic as those wrought by wars and natural disasters. By dissecting the nature of epidemics and highlighting rampant diseases past and present, this book familiarizes readers with the dangers inherent in this looming health crisis. Discussion of personal steps students can take to help stem disease and what the future may hold are also included.
