Summary |
"With solid science and deft humor, celebrated epidemiologist David Waltner-Toews brings us tales of the bacteria, viruses, and parasites that have made their way into our food supply. He describes the global patterns of foodborne disease, from ciguatera toxins in fish to pandemics of Salmonella, and the changes in climate, culture, agriculture, and trade that have led to the emergence of new diseases and epidemics. Finally, he provides advice for what we can do."--BOOK JACKET |
