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.

Easy to use!
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
We had a Spider-Man one for my son and he loved it so we got these princess ones for my daughter and she loves them. They’re nice because it tells you when to turn the page and push the next button to read the story so she can “read” to herself now.

Fantastic books_ fun and valuable message
Format: Board book
With 12 different books, this is perfect for little girls who love princesses. I love that they don't just tell the same princess story, but they each have a different value on them to teach kids. Good values and virtues.
