DESCRIPTION:

Science at the Edge: Fighting Infectious Disease looks at how science and modern medicine save millions of lives each year, and the efforts to save millions more. It shows how diseases are caused and spread, and how scientists and drug companies are developing new treatments to improve people's chances of survival. There's explanation of immunity, blood screening, the MMR vaccine, clinical trials and health education, and coverage of issues such as the over-prescription of antibiotics, the use of genetic engineering in drug development and the difficulties of fighting AIDS.
