A leading epidemiologist shares his "powerful and necessary" (Richard Preston, author of The Hot Zone) stories from the front lines of our war on infectious diseases and explains how to prepare for global epidemics -- featuring a new preface on COVID-19. Unlike natural disasters, whose destruction is concentrated in a limited area over a period of days, and illnesses, which have devastating effects but are limited to individuals and their families, infectious disease has the terrifying power to disrupt everyday life on a global scale, overwhelming public and private resources and bringing trade and transportation to a grinding halt.In today's world, it's easier than ever to move people, animals, and materials around the planet, but the same advances that make modern infrastructure so efficient have made epidemics and even pandemics nearly inevitable. And as outbreaks of COVID-19, Ebola, MERS, and Zika have demonstrated, we are woefully underprepared to deal with the fallout. So what can -- and must -- we do in order to protect ourselves from mankind's deadliest enemy?
Drawing on the latest medical science, case studies, policy research, and hard-earned epidemiological lessons, Deadliest Enemy explores the resources and programs we need to develop if we are to keep ourselves safe from infectious disease. The authors show how we could wake up to a reality in which many antibiotics no longer cure, bioterror is a certainty, and the threat of a disastrous influenza or coronavirus pandemic looms ever larger. Only by understanding the challenges we face can we prevent the unthinkable from becoming the inevitable. Deadliest Enemy is high scientific drama, a chronicle of medical mystery and discovery, a reality check, and a practical plan of action.

Cute little clutch
Color: Black
It's a cute, slim, clutch that fits the necessities (phone, I.D., credit cards, lipstick, hair ties, keys). It comes with a chain/shoulder strap and can be worn as a cross body bag also. I used it for a formal event and I received several compliments on it.

Would be great if it was $10
Color: Gold
Feels like cardboard. I had one of these years ago .. but this style is hard to find. The quality is cheap. Not worth the price.

even nicer than I expected
Color: Gold
Perfect! Looks much more expensive than it costs. Looks exactly like the photos and feels just like it looks like it would. I absolutely love how spacious it is because most clutches can barely hold my phone let alone a pair of reading glasses and some lip balm.
The color is absolutely gorgeous and exactly as it was shown. The zipper is quality the tassel is darling I love the fold over and a good strong magnetic clasp. The little shoulder chain is perfect whether you choose to use it or put it back in the bag.
