This is my type of book. I'll have to search for it when I go to UK in July. (I prefer to support real, as opposed to virtual, bookshops whenever possible)

Fascinating and somewhat terrifying. "The only way to study the disease was to keep a steady of supply of infected animals in the basement of the Parisian lab. As part of their research, Pasteur and his assistants routinely pinned down rabid dogs and collected vials of their foamy saliva. The risk of losing control of these animals loomed large, but the bullets in the revolver weren’t intended for the dogs. Rather, if one of the assistants was bitten, his colleagues were under orders to shoot him in the head."
That's for posting, I especially like that last sentence. "As Wasik and Murphy write of the disease, It’s gone until it isn’t."

OMG! Don't think I'd want a job there. Geesh! LOL

It is a true scientist. This is why when we hear attacks of real science it is upsetting to me. Science is a very strict study and does not give up until it finds answers.
