Federal Bodysnatchers and the New Guinea Virus: Tales of Parasites, People, and PoliticsTwenty years ago the world slept, confident that biomedical science would protect it from devastating plagues. Our wake up call sounded at the outbreak of the AIDS epidemic. Then came more unfamiliar pathogens in its wake, such as the West Nile virus. Meanwhile, the neglected diseases of the third world, including malaria and African sleeping sickness, festered their victims salvageable only by unaffordable, patent protected drugs. Robert S. Desowitz
Twenty years ago the world slept, confident that biomedical science would protect it from devastating plagues. Our wake-up call sounded at the outbreak of the AIDS epidemic. Then came more unfamiliar pathogens in its wake, such as the West Nile virus. Meanwhile, the neglected diseases of the third world, including malaria and African sleeping sickness, festered--their victims salvageable only by unaffordable, patent-protected drugs. Robert S. Desowitz traces the histories of these diseases and the issues we must confront--the morality and legality of patent laws, the effect of global warming on epidemics, public support for the commercial biochemical industry, the growing dissociation of clinicians and public health professionals, and the terrifying shadow of bioterrorism.Binding Type: Paperback

Great "Preppy" Upgrade for a Casual Wardrobe
Size: 11, Color: White
I am very happy with these Bruno Marc Men's Casual Dress Sneakers. I’ve worn them about 10 times now, and here is my experience so far:
Style & Versatility: These are the perfect "middle ground" shoe. They go great with both jeans and chinos for those nights when you want to look a bit more put-together than a standard pair of regular sneakers.
The "Wife Test": My wife immediately noticed the difference; she mentioned that these give off a much more "preppy" and dressed-up vibe compared to my usual Nike sneakers. I’ve actually received compliments every single time I’ve worn them out.
Comfort & Quality: They are surprisingly comfortable right out of the box. The material looks and feels like high quality, not cheap or flimsy.
Durability: While I can’t fully attest to their long-term longevity yet since I've only worn them 10 times, the construction feels solid and the material seems durable.
I’ll be sure to update this review if anything changes regarding how they wear over time, but for now, these are a fantastic purchase for the price.
