Epidemics: Opposing Viewpoints - Mary E. Williams (2 of 5 Articles Not About Malaria)

Hm...well. Don't read this book if you're looking for information on malaria...and especially if you're doing research for a college paper.

The serious lack of malaria material in this book created a mental block the size of Montana so I pretty much didn't enjoy anything about this book. I probably shouldn't have gotten anything from the juvenile non-fiction section with the intent to use it in my college research paper. Lesson learned. Most of the points here were fluff and not pertinent.

Only read this if you are in your early teens wanting to know about HIV/AIDS.

How did you get Malaria from that title? Aids is a pretty freaky disease though. My aunt died from that and I remember how we wouldn't ever stay at her house or with her kids because we were afraid of getting the disease. She also had severe mental disorders, but back to my original point: I would never read this book simply because it's about HIV/Aids. Now, if it work about the black plague, I would read that.

Jake, this part right here:

Many institutions limit access to their online information. Making this information available will be an asset to all.
