Book Description
Rabies offers a complete account of one of the oldest known diseases threatening public health today. Unlike most research-oriented descriptions of rabies, this book provides a narrative about the disease and its etiologic agent, encompassing the historical background to recent developments. The emphasis on the basic biology and molecular virology of the disease is intended to convey an understanding of the underlying mechanisms involved in the disease - essential information for diagnosis and prevention strategies. Current methods used in defining geographic origins and animal species of rabies viruses in wildlife are presented, along with diagnostic methods for identifying the strain of virus based on its genomic sequence and antigenic structure. The latest approved methods for controlling rabies in wildlife species are also covered. This account of rabies will interest clinicians, public health advisors, epidemiologists, research scientists, and anyone involved in diagnosing, treating, controlling, and preventing this disease.

Key Features
* A history of rabies from antiquity to the modern era
* Basic biology and molecular virology
* Epidemiological aspects

Small Town Politics
Having grown up in small town New England, I really enjoyed Return to Raby.The experiences of Nelson Palmer as he returns to investigate his small town roots and finds himself on the outside of the established village bureacracy accurately depicts the situation in many small New England towns as "Out-of-Staters" move into town and begin to outnumber the entrenched natives.

As Palmer begins to delve more deeply into the history of the town, he makes several discoveries which change his life and the life of the town.With his opposition to the town fathers, other residents gain the confidence to state their opposition as well.As a mysterious benefactor begins to effect change in the community, the townspeople begin to accept and expect change in attitudes.

As the story builds to its conclusion, more information is unearthed about the true beginnings of the town.

I would recommend this novel to anyone looking to curl up by the fire with a good book.Additionally, because of the part that genealogical research plays in the story line, genealogists will enjoy this story of the ways in which documented history may play in shaping present-day decision making.

Great Story!
If you have ever lived in a small rural town you will certainly be able to relate to and appreciate Jack Polidoro's latest novel, RETURN TO RABY. If you have not had this living experience, Polidoro's novel will enlighten you as to just what you have been missing! Polidoro's novel is based on the reality of a small New Hampshire town that comes alive page after page and truly shows how rural life can be. Having lived in a "Raby"like town myself, I could relate to the story first hand. I passed the book on to friends who have never been out of the city and the book was equally enjoyable to them! This story will make you laugh and bring tears to your eyes. You will be left will a warm feeling and a positive outlook on life. This is truly a wonderful story!

For all of us who have grown up in small towns, we know that the closed door policy of the old time citizens is the way that 'deals are made.' For newcomer, Nelson Palmer, a man in search of his family history, he learned the hard way that the 'only way is the right way' on how to restore pride and inspiration to a town.Reading Jack Polidoro's new novel, "Return To Raby" will captivate you and have you reading page after page until the very last word.It is a story that could and probably did happen someplace along the way in many New England villages.Having loved Jack's two previous works, Rapid Descent: Disaster in Boston Harbor, and Project Samuel-The Quest for the Cennential Nobel Prize, I know that much of what he weaves into his fictitious stories are what he knows and who he is. So the town of Harvest, New Hampshire intrigued me as I kept wondering, who are these real people and what really occurred to have this author tell his tale.I highly recommend "Return To Raby" to those who are spellbound by a great mystery story with love, death and new beginnings for all. ...
