THE NEXT PANDEMIC On the Front Lines Against Humankind's Gravest Dangers

Part hot-zone memoir, part chronicle of mankind's biological near misses, this is an audiobook as easily classified with the horror genre as with contemporary affairs. Ben Sullivan's steady, serviceable narration keeps the focus on the content and maintains an effective degree of distance and reserve. Dr. Khan, a veteran in the global war against contagious diseases, tells a string of cautionary tales that are ultimately inspiring and reassuring, illustrating the power of science to overcome not just disease, but also the ignorance and misunderstanding that spread it. Here is the core information that all individuals in government and public service, transit and commerce, anyone who travels--everyone, really--should know.
