  The Fatal Strain - On the Trail...

  When avian flu began spreading across Asia in the early 2000s, it reawakened fears that had lain dormant for nearly a century. During the outbreak's deadliest years, Alan Sipress chased the virus as it infiltrated remote jungle villages and teeming cities and saw its mysteries elude the world's top scientists. In The Fatal Strain, Sipress details how socioeconomic and political realities in Asia make it the perfect petri dish in which the fast-mutating strain can become easily communicable among humans. Once it does, the ease and speed of international travel and worldwide economic interdependence could make it as destructive as the flu pandemic of 1918.In his vivid portrayal of the struggle between man and microbe, Sipress gives a front-line view of the accelerating number of near misses across Asia and the terrifying truth that the prospects for this impending health crisis may well be in the hands of cockfighters, live chicken merchants, and witch doctors rather than virologists or the World Health Organization.Like The Hot Zone and The Great Influenza, The Fatal Strain is a fast-moving account that brings the inevitability of an epidemic into a fascinating cultural, scientific, and political narrative.

  This is a 3-book bundle, which addresses various subtopics, including but not limited to these: 
    
    
  Book 1: Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is quite common. It is one of those things that you should know more about, because there might be someone in your life who has it. The condition has pros and cons, but if you don’t know about any of those, life can be tough. 
    
  In this book, we’ll touch on the nature of obsessions, how they are different from compulsive behavior, and which similarities they show. Additionally, the biological and environmental causes of this disorder will be highlighted. 
    
  In the end chapter, some solutions to managing its symptoms will be given. 
    
    
    
    
  Book 2: Did you now there are different types of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder? 
  In this book, we will explain those types and compare them to each other. We will also give you an overview of how the disorder is diagnosed, what it consists of, and how you can overcome an obsessive personality. 
    
    
    
    
  Book 3: If you think you have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, or if someone else has it, this book is for you. Or perhaps you want to just learn more about it. 
    
  Either way, your knowledge will increase by going through this concise guide. 
    
  This book focuses on ways to help people with the disorder, as well as on methods to handle compulsive tendencies. The last and longest chapter of the book goes over a number of questions and answers about children with the disorder, questions that have been common in the community. 
    
  There is a lot of great material in here. I invite you to give it a try.

  Carl Zimmer: Planet of Viruses

  Consider these facts from Carl Zimmer’s book, A Planet of Viruses: If you put all the viruses in the ocean on a scale, they would equal the weight of 75 million blue whales. And if you lined up all those viruses end to end, “they would stretch out past the nearest 60 galaxies.” 
  In 17th century England, Zimmer writes, cures for the rhinovirus, or the common cold, included a blend of gunpowder and eggs and fried cow dung and suet. Today, he says, doctors have little more to offer a person that’s sick with a cold. 
  Zimmer is a contributing editor at Discover, an author of 12 books on science and a regular contributor to the New York Times. (He also has a tapeworm named after him.) We spoke with him recently about his latest book, in which he uncovers the bizarre world of viruses living in the soil, in caves underground and in our own bodies — while addressing the fundamental questions driving virologists. Why, for example, has it been so hard to find a penicillin for viruses? Which virus will become the next great pandemic? Will scientists ever develop a cure for the common cold? And should they?
