<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In this explosive book by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of the "New York Times" bestseller "The Coming Plague", Garrett takes readers across the globe to reveal how a series of potential and present public health catastrophes together form a terrifying portrait of real global disaster in the making.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>"On par with Rachel Carson's <em>Silent Spring</em> ... This chilling exploration of the decline of public health should be taken seriously by leaders and policymakers around the world."--<em>Publishers Weekly, </em>Starred Review<br /> <br /> In this meticulously researched and ultimately explosive new book by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of the <em>New York Times</em> bestseller <em>The Coming Plague</em>, Laurie Garrett takes on perhaps the most crucial global issue of our time. She asks: is our collective health in a state of decline? If so, how dire is this crisis and has the public health system itself contributed to it? Using riveting detail and finely-honed storytelling, Garrett exposes the underbelly of the world's globalization to find out if it can still be assumed that government can and will protect the people's health, or if that trust has been irrevocably broken.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"On par with Rachel Carson's <i>Silent Spring</i> ...
