A national bestseller, the fast-paced and gripping account of the Great Flu Epidemic of 1918 from acclaimed science journalist Gina Kolata, now featuring a new epilogue about avian flu. When we think of plagues, we think of AIDS, Ebola, anthrax spores, and, of course, the Black Death. But in 1918 the Great Flu Epidemic killed an estimated forty million people virtually overnight. If such a plague returned today, taking a comparable percentage of the US population with it, 1.5 million Americans would die. In Flu, Gina Kolata, an acclaimed reporter for The New York Times, unravels the mystery of this lethal virus with the high drama of a great adventure story. From Alaska to Norway, from the streets of Hong Kong to the corridors of the White House, Kolata tracks the race to recover the live pathogen and probes the fear that has impelled government policy. A gripping work of science writing, Flu addresses the prospects for a great epidemic's recurrence and considers what can be done to prevent it.Binding Type: Paperback

Beautiful, Sturdy, Excellent Customer Service!!
Size: 6 Tier, Color: White
Excellent quality item, and beyond outstanding customer service!
This jewelry case is very thoughtfully configured, to accommodate various sizes and shapes of jewelry.
I purchased this primarily to keep my fine gold chains entangled, and there are numerous velvet hooks, with pockets below to do this.
The dividers are not removable, but because there six drawers with difference size choices, it was not an issue, tho some customers may have that question. The watch band bolsters, however, ARE removable.
I chose the cream color case with tan/gold interior velvet lining. BUT, the lining, in my view, looks actually to be dusty rose/mauve in color. Not a screaming pink, a bit subtle, but it doesn't look tan as in the photo.
Just FYI, in case the interior color is a big deal for you. But the exterior light cream is just as pictured, and is beautiful!
Regarding the customer service for this company, I contacted them prior to and after purchase. They responded very quickly, and were clear and articulate in answering my questions / addressing my concerns
Thank you!

Good quality and easy gift
Size: 6 Tier, Color: Jelly Pink
This came with some scratches to the metal. Other than that the organization and versatility of this item is amazing. My wife loves it and it cleared up a lot of room for more jewelry. Which could’ve been a mistake for myself lol. I recommend this as a gift for your wife!

Pretty but…
Size: 6 Tier, Color: White
It looks nice and will hold a good amount of jewelry BUT I bought this because it locks. The lock only locks the top drawer and none of the others. I may need to return it since I would prefer the entire jewelry box to lock.
