Jones is extremely well versed in the biology of anthrax, and she understands as well the social and environmental context. Her decision to write from the point of view of the organism is excellent. Jones avoids the trap of writing from a purely human perspective. She develops not only the ecology of the disease but also how it was transformed from a local into an international problem. - Gerald N. Grob, Institute for Health, Health Care Policy, and Aging Research at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey An excellent resource for understanding the history of anthrax and its relationship to humans...
