5.0 out of 5 stars A good reference, June 24, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Dangerous Diseases & Epidemics (Paperback)
I hope I never need the information in this book, but it is a good reference to have on hand. Everything from childhood diseases to food poisoning to anthrax is covered, in a way that is easy to understand. A useful resource for "regular people".

5.0 out of 5 stars A Useful Source Of Information For Today's Troubled World, July 7, 2002
This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Dangerous Diseases & Epidemics (Paperback)
This book was extremely helpful in explaining the various diseases and infections we are all hearing so much about today. We are all frightened by this topic and Dr. Perlin's book covered these topics in a very clear and concise manner that anyone could understand. Knowledge is power and this book will help everyone who reads it to better understand the risks that lie ahead.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely Valuable Reference, July 13, 2002
By 
Sheila Sugarman (Monroe Township, New Jersey USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Dangerous Diseases & Epidemics (Paperback)
A great reference book --- concise and easily readable. It illuminates the diseases we most fear today and brings their backgrounds and transmission down to the layman's level. I especially like the anecdotes Dr. Perlin has inserted in individual chapters to help us better understand disease causes, transmission and effects. A must for the household library!
