Dear fellow listserv members, there is an exciting new book from Blackwell
Publishers that I would like to share with all of you.

AIDS in the Modern World
By I. Edward Alcamo

Aids in the Modern World focuses on the biological basis of AIDS and HIV.
The book has a simple approach to the topic and enables students to focus on
the main points of HIV disease and its impact on society. The text is in an
easy to read, well-organized format, yet provides detailed information. It
is an appropriate text for undergraduate non-science and allied heath
students.  Complementing any standard textbook in courses focusing on
health, human disease, or in any course where the instructor wants to
address both the biological and social aspects of HIV/AIDS.

microbiology and AIDS research

explained in a simplified manner

*
*       Ethical issues are integrated throughout e.g. are needle exchange
programs a good idea?
