Epidemics & Plagues by Richard Walker
"Kingfisher Knowledge" is a groundbreaking series for readers hungry for
information on today's hot topics. Lively, engaging text, packed with
information, accompanies stunning photographs that enhance each chapter.
Amazing, state-of-the-art digital artwork guides readers into the
fascinating heart of the subject. This learning adventure does not stop
there - information panels throughout lead the reader to further
discovery. Each chapter offers website links, book lists, places to
visit and career information. "Epidemics & Plagues" takes an
in-depth look at epidemics and plagues past and present, finding out
about the big killer diseases and what happens when they spread rapidly
and affect large numbers of people. It conveys the sad yet gripping
histories of the Black Death of 13th-century Europe, the Great Plague of
London, the devastating smallpox epidemics of 18th-century America and
the flu epidemic that followed the First World War. It peers under the
microscope at the agents that cause smallpox, influenza, cholera,
tuberculosis, AIDS and malaria, examines the science to find out why
they spread so quickly and what might be done to stop them. It also
looks at history and legend to get an idea of why people have always
been so frightened by the threat of epidemics and plagues.

Detour
Detour by James Siegel (Contains Affiliate Link)
DESCRIPTION: From the bestselling author of Derailed comes the adrenaline-charged story of one man who must be-tray everything he believes in to save his family. Paul and Joanna desperately want to have children, but their failure to conceive almost ends their marriage. Instead, they decide to adopt and arrange a trip to Colombia to bring home a baby girl. Joelle is everything they've hoped for. To help them ease into parenthood, a nanny has been sent. When they return one night, they discover to their horror that the baby waiting for them isn't Joelle. Suddenly, they're taken prisoner and handed an ultimatum: Either Paul transports millions in cocaine to a location in the US within l8 hours, or his wife and daughter will be killed. The decision seems obvious--yet the outcome will be anything but. (From Amazon.com product listing)
