"Fascinating, provocative, powerful."--Annals of Internal
Medicine
Praise for the First Edition:
"A comprehensive and masterful approach to the AIDS pandemic, a
major challenge to our civilization."--Luc Montagnier, Institut
Pasteur, France, co-discoverer of the HIV virus
"No one can remain illiterate about HIV/AIDS....This authoritative
compilation of valuable information and understandable concepts is
an invaluable source for non-specialists and specialists
alike."--Jonas Salk, M.D., Founding Director and Distinguished
Professor of International Health Sciences, Salk Institute for
Biological Studies
"AIDS in the World is an extraordinarily useful resource for anyone
concerned about the HIV pandemic and its ramifications around the
globe. The projections of the future scope of AIDS and HIV are of
such magnitude that extensive planning is urgently needed; this
volume is invaluable in facing this daunting task."--June E.
Osborn, M.D., Dean, University of Michigan School of Public Health;
Chairwoman, U.S. National Commission on AIDS
"AIDS in the World is a call to arms in the fight against AIDS. Its
honest analysis presents a compelling case for a massive worldwide
effort to end the pandemic. But that effort will only be successful
if it deals directly with issues of human rights, equity between
the sexes, and the absolute necessity for rich nations to help poor
ones. A must read for those concerned about the future of the
global community."--Mervyn F. Silverman, M.D., President,
American Foundation for AIDS Research (authors don't like this
guy!)
"The most comprehensive attempt to analyze trends, assess the
present position, and predict the future spread of the virus."--The
Guardian
"AIDS in the World challenges us to find the political will to work
together on a global basis to save human lives and to serve
justice. It should remind the jaded why they joined the fight
against AIDS and motivate those who have not yet found the courage
or confidence to act."--Ron Rowell, Executive Director, National
Native American AIDS Prevention Center
"AIDS in the World is an attempt to clarify the AIDS crisis and
dispel the myths and misunderstandings that surround it...an
extremely ambitious undertaking....The authors make it abundantly
clear that...solutions will come about only through global
cooperation. AIDS is not the isolated problem of one country or one
race or one person. Its defeat is the responsibility of all the
citizens of the world."--Joseph Fera, Director of Communications
for the
San Francisco AIDS Foundation, in World Affairs Council
Booknotes
"This important new book puts it finger on the pulse of the world,
ailing with HIV and AIDS, and the prognosis looks grim--only
occasionally does an effective heartbeat get through to show the
patient is making any response. While it will not be easy to pull
the patient round, this important initial diagnostic assessment
should allow policy makers to get on with the business of planning
a sustained approach to treatment--based on a realistic assessment
of the
problem and a vision of what could be achieved."--Anthony J.
Pinching, St. Bartholomew's Hospital, London
"Comprehensive and clearly written...Highly recommended for all
collections."--University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey
Library
"This is an excellent book. It is highly recommended for anyone who
wants one book to scan for a summary of research and progress. A
highly recommended book for all libraries."--AIDS Book Review
