Ex Library book and has stickers or markings as such. NO writing or markings other then from the library, All pages intact and clean, shows minor signs of wear from use. Great reading copy, Save money and recycle books! Shipped with care in a bubble mailer. --- A collection of chapters edited by I.W. Fong and Kenneth Alibek. Each chapter is written by specialists and covers one agent considered a possible biological weapon. The bacterial agents come first: anthrax, treated both as a disease and as a weapon, then plague, tularemia, and melioidosis with glanders. Chapters on smallpox and the hemorrhagic fever viruses follow, then botulism and ricin, which is discussed as a noninfectious biological weapon. The clinical chapters review the history of each agent, how it causes disease, how patients are treated, and how exposed contacts are managed. The anthrax chapter draws on the inhalational cases caused by deliberate release in the United States. Later chapters turn to bioterrorism alerts for health care workers and to the economics of planning and preparing for an attack, including a critique of the American anthrax vaccine program.
