“This is the best book you can read about disease, and it was the best thing I read in library school. Seriously, all of library school. You can just imagine how many books you have to read for something called “library school.”
Probably a more important read than ever, the Coming Plague talks quite a bit about Ebola, for one, and the different methods by which diseases can be fought, how difficult it is to eradicate a disease, and how often politics and science can’t get on the same page.
Don’t look at the number of pages. Just pick it up and start. I promise, you will not be bored.”
