Hardcover

, 1st edition
Through a special collaboration with "The New York Times", Kingfisher Publications is pleased to present a new way to learn about the events and concepts that define our world. Gripping first-person narratives, written by veteran "New York Times" journalists, bring history and current events to life for young readers. Full-colour illustrations, photographs and sidebars explain key concepts, and historical articles from the archives of "The New York Times" place events in the global context. This work is set in Angola, 2005. Science reporter, Denise Grady, is trying on a bio-hazard suit for the first time. She is about to head to a virus hot zone to cover the story of a dangerous new disease caused by the Marburg virus. The virus, closely related to Ebola, is spreading in the African nation - most of its victims die within a week. From this terrifying beginning, Denise explores the realities of emerging viruses - diseases that have gone global in the last 20 years, or that are expected to be a world threat in the years to come. From HIV to Avian Flu, this is a harrowing look at the dangers we face in a global society, and the ways that we can protect ourselves in the future.
