      Part of the Johns Hopkins Biographies of Disease series, this volume on anthrax follows its course historically through the decades, from a soil-specific, animal-bred, agricultural disease to a disease found in factories and tanneries spread by human commerce, to a virulent biological weapon engineered by scientists in laboratories for use against other human populations. From its origins to its future implications, Jones (history of science and technology, as well as ecology, evolution and behavior, U. of Minnesota, Minneapolis) writes a fascinating biography on bacillus anthracis, one of the hardiest and most violent of infectious threats to the health and livelihood of humankind.
