Used Book in Good Condition
Level 4: Virus Hunters of the CDC by Joseph McCormick and Susan Fisher-Hoch is a good read - definitely non-fiction. They were there for the first Ebola outbreaks in the 70's and the Hanta outbreaks in NM later on.
McCormick is a great guy. I tracked him down and emailed him when I was an undergrad, and I asked him how I could get in to the field. He responded back with an incredibly detailed email and couldn't have been nicer.
I know it's about viruses. But it's an interesting read none the less.
Written by those who experienced the facts for themselves.
Level 4: Virus Hunters of the CDC
It follows the emergence of Ebola and other haemorrhagic viruses.
Randomly enough, I just asked Dr. Joe McCormick (http://www.amazon.com/Level-4-Virus-Hunters-CDC/dp/0760712085) about this a few hours ago in a lecture.
He was there for the first Ebola outbreak and seems to be somewhat of an international expert on these "hot" viruses. He said that this outbreak is unique in that it has moved into large cities, but didn't seem to be overly concerned about the threat of pandemic or spread beyond the region. It's really only spread by close contact with infectious patients, so it's fairly hard to catch from others.
Awesome book but try Level 4: Virus Hunters of the CDC, it's way better.
