«Bird Flu (Everything You Need to Know)» is John Farndon's popular science essay on avian flu, in paperback (128 pages, in English).
The book examines whether avian flu could become a pandemic: it explains what a virus is and how it spreads, reviews the history of pandemics such as the Spanish flu of 1919, and details how antivirals and vaccines work, how mortality statistics are calculated, and what government emergency plans exist.
Published in 2005, it is part of the [All Access] series and features a foreword by Tony Minson, professor at the University of Cambridge.
Aimed at readers who want to understand the threat of avian flu beyond media coverage, without needing prior knowledge.
