Everything readers ever wanted to know about deadly viruses, killer parasites, flesh-eating microbes, and other lifethreatening beasties but were afraid to ask

What disease, known as "the White Death" has killed 2 billion people, and counting?

What fatal disease lurks undetected in air conditioners and shower heads, waiting to become airborne?

How lethal is the Ebola virus, and will there ever be a cure for it?

How do you catch flesh-eating bacteria?

Killer Germs takes readers on a fascinating (sometimes horrifying) journey into the amazing world of viruses, bacteria, protozoa, fungi, and worms and explores the roles they have played in shaping the course of human history. From biblical plagues, to the AIDS crisis, to supergerms of the future, this updated and revised edition of the original covers the whole gamut of diseases that have threatened humanity since its origins.

It also includes a new chapter on the history of bioterrorism and the deplorable role it has played and is likely to play in the phenomenal diversity of diseases.

Cute and comfy
Size: 2 Little Kid, Color: Black/Rose Gold
My daughter loved these so much I ordered the next size up for when she outgrows her current pair. These are easily her favorite shoe, and I like them because they’re quick to put on and look cute with a variety of outfits. My 64 year old aunt who has tiny feet also got a pair and loves them as well. They appeal to kids without looking like a “kid” shoe. Good work Sketchers.
