In this fully revised third edition of the 1998 original, Jeanette
Farrell tells the gripping stories of mankind's struggles against the
deadliest diseases in human history--including malaria, leprosy and
cholera--updated to reflect new medical and social developments such as
the continuing ravages of AIDS around the world, the bioterror threat
posed by smallpox eradication, and an all-new chapter on the Ebola
crisis. Illustrated with more than fifty reproductions of photographs,
newspaper cartoons, public health posters, and the like, Invisible
Enemies is an intense and intriguing mix of history, biography, and
biology.
