Excellent Explanation of a Complex Issue December 9, 2004
Laura Wingfield (Washington D.C.)
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
The problem with AIDS in this world never really seemed to hit me as a crisis. I had seen tv specials on the problem, but many of them had to do with the free spirit of the 80's and a general lack of information. I guess you could call me a skeptic. After reading the first paragraph and faced with the statement, "Three million people die each year from AIDS, a death toll that has been compared to twenty fully loaded 747s crashing every single day for a year," it seemed evident that there was more to this disease than I first thought. I remembered how many stories I saw on the news about airplanes crashing and the news coverage that followed. I can't remember the last news story I watched about AIDS. Dale Hanson Bourke presents this pandemic in social, political, and scientific views without losing the reader in advanced biochemical terms. Every single page shocked and disturbed me with the magnitude of the situation and the need to get involved in some way. Her writing enhanced my knowledge of the disease, the science was interesting but not overly complicated, and her style of challenging common misconceptions in a QA format made me fly through this book. An excellent read for anyone living in today's world. br / br /
