Arrived in today's mail. What a gorgeous hardcover edition! Thank you, jendudley!

This book terrified me.

If you think globalization and urbanization in distant places have had no ill effect on the quality of life on this planet, think again. We discover new diseases faster than we learn to treat them, and our current methods of treatment tend only to make the diseases stronger and more virulent. The author makes a grand case for a major change of mindset in funding not only medical research and health organizations, but also supporting basic human rights to safe living environments, clean water, and sufficient nutrition.

Anyone who has any degree of literacy should read it, especially those in positions of influence. I encourage everyone to buy several copies and send one to each of your representatives: local, state, and federal.

This copy will go to some government official, as soon as I figure out where it might do the best good.

(BTW, this edition was published in 1994. I wonder if a revised and updated edition is available. Such a revision would more than likely be even more frightening.)

RELEASE NOTES:

In the waiting room on a table.
