      abstract = {"According to veterinarian and journalist Mark Walters, we  are contributing to--if not overtly causing--some of the  scariest epidemics of our time. Through human stories and  cutting-edge science, Walters explores the origins of seven  diseases: Mad Cow Disease, HIV/AIDS, Salmonella DT104, Lyme  Disease, Hantavirus, West Nile, and new strains of flu. He  shows that they originate from manipulation of the  environment, from emitting carbon and clear-cutting forests  to feeding naturally herbivorous cows "recycled animal  protein." Readers will both learn how today's plagues first  developed and discover patterns that could help prevent the  diseases of tomorrow"--Provided by publisher.},
