Book Description
The main character, Denise Gibson, and her colleagues realize that they are in a race against time to save their country from a crazed terrorist group or a madman set on destroying this country with the most virulent agent known to man…anthrax. Anthrax: the Game is a timely and exciting work of fiction that runs parallel to recent outbreaks in America and other countries.

Hightower's novel revolves around the probe by a team of expert investigators, of three lethal occurrences of biological terrorism in the United States. A computer expert for Incline, a special unit of the FBI, Denise Gibson, is assigned to work on this tense investigation. As the story unfolds, Denise is thrown together with microbiologist Dr. Paul Wagner. Horrendous outbreaks spread one after another. Denise soon realizes that her partner may be involved in this sophisticated form of biological warfare.

As potent as Tom Clancy's bestsellers, Anthrax: the Game craftily tackles the current and disturbing issue of bio-terrorism. Hightower successfully draws from her real-life experiences at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to come up with a believable and absorbing suspense thriller. ... Read more

Interesting and Wonderfully Complex Mystery

A bit of romance, some scientific substance, and a large quantity of mystery;these are the skillfully combined elements of Dwan Hightower's Anthrax:The Game.If you want a book that will take you away from your daily worries, this book is for you.I generally enjoy mysteries, but not those so frightening they prevent me from sleeping.Anthrax: The Game met my mystery requirements.

People in a New England town suddenly start dying of anthrax.Employees of several governmental agencies are sent to investigate the source of the poisoning.There are several subplots to Anthrax: The Game;one is current and the other is three years prior.Events three years prior bear a startling resemblance to the current events;this is yet another subplot.The reader wonders, and then learns, not only why someone was so intent on killing people, but who it was.To say much more would be to spoil the story!

This book has more than twenty chapters;at the very beginning of each chapter, the reader is told the setting of that particular chapter.Because of the complexity of the subplots in Anthrax: The Game, this information was really nice to have for context purposes.A glance at the cover lets the reader know that they're going to be reading about a scientific subject.Ms. Hightower has researched her subject matter well, although I have to hope some of the information in the book can't be true.Unfortunately, in today's world, it probably is all too accurate.

This book is a riveting mystery, with a lesson we all need to learn from time to time.Quite simply, that lesson is that when we are in those situations in which we're faced with a problem, we need to step back, think about other parts of our life, do something relaxing to clear our heads, and often the answer comes to light.

Description:
Events following the anthrax letter incidences in 2001 changed many previously held assumptions regarding biological aerosol hazards. As there were significant fatalities resulting from the sorting of a single anthrax letter, it suggests there is a need to reevaluate how best to measure biological aerosols and to use the information to make accurate predictions. This paper describes the biological aerosol created from manipulating envelopes containing Bacillus subtilis globigii spores (a simulant for anthrax). In addition, the measurements on dispersion of spores from an envelope processed by a mail sorter provide important dynamic aerosol characteristics, information previously unavailable for health risk assessment. The findings produced a number of significant aerosol dosage estimates related to spore contaminated letters. Graphic presentations show significant hazard in handling anthrax-laced letters. Aerosol particle dynamics are described and specific lethal dosage values are listed for a range of activities; these will be useful in assisting the modeling community to create more realistic predictions in hazard assessment studies. ...

Book Description
This public-domain Department ofDefense field manual, used by the U.S. Army, Navy,Air Force, and Marines, serves as a guide and areference for trained members of the Armed ForcesMedical Services and other medically qualifiedpersonnel on the recognition and treatment ofbiological warfare (BW) agent casualties. Informationcontained in this publication may also be relevant forthe diagnosis and treatment of patients with naturallyacquired diseases or illnesses due to pathogens withBW potential. It classifies and describes potentialBW agents, provides procedures for collecting,handling and labeling, shipping, and identifyingpotential BW agents, describes procedures formedical diagnosing, treating, and management ofBW casualties, and describes medical managementand treatment in BW operations. The treatmentmodalities contained in this manual differ fromstandard textbooks in that they apply to BW agentexposures. The method of exposure for most BWagents is by inhalation; whereas, the endemicdisease exposure (if applicable) is by other means.

Some of the diseases covered include: anthrax,brucellosis, melioidosis, glanders, plague, Q fever,tularemia, smallpox, Venezuelan equineencephalitis, viral hemorrhagic fevers, toxins,clostridium botulinum toxin, clostridium perfringentoxins, ricin, saxitoxin, staphylococcal enterotoxin B,and trichothecene mycotoxins.

This is a AIR FORCE INST OF TECH WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB OH SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A965624. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: The goal of this research was to investigate the impact of change on organizations, in the absence of a preparedness program and to develop strategies for overcoming resistance to change, in the midst of a proposed initiative that has become stalled as a result of mistrust and cynicism. The results of this research suggests a framework of management techniques that will offer leadership approaches to resurrecting a stalled change initiative and overcoming personnel's resistance to a proposed change project, in order for the project to be more widely accepted. A series of personal interviews and focus groups, a qualitative method approach, was used to gather information, gain insight, develop possible strategies, and suggest a framework for moving forward with a proposed change initiative in the midst of resistance. Data was primarily collected from mid-level to senior leadership. In addition, an extensive literature review was conducted to gain insight about known prescriptive methods, previously suggested strategies, and other published similarities and differences in the areas Change Management, Organizational Change, Resistance to Change, Overcoming Resistance to Change, and Organizational Development. It is hoped that the Armed Forces and the Department of Defense will benefit from future development of these proposed change management strategies. ... Read more

Book Description
Bacillus anthracis—anthrax—had largely faded from public consciousness until it resurfaced as a terrorist weapon in 2001. It was always with us, lurking in the soil and hosted by our livestock. Long before it was identified as a specific bacterium in the late 1800s, "anthrax" was a catchphrase for a variety of diseases and symptoms, from ancient biblical plagues to a painful carbuncle on George Washington's leg. Only when industrialization turned anthrax into a widespread disease that threatened economies did a true understanding of Bacillus anthracis begin to emerge.

This history of anthrax follows the development of our understanding of the disease, beginning in the 18th century, when science began breaking ground on the subject, until the present, when anthrax is feared more as an agent of biowarfare than as a health hazard harbored by the environment. There are three appendices: the first outlines the reaction of Manchester, New Hampshire, to the 2001 anthrax attacks; the second documents workplace warnings to anthrax-prone workers; and the third lists novels that involve anthrax. Bibliographical references are also provided. ... Read more

An intriguing and timely history
Anthrax had reverted to the background of public concerns until 2001, when it surfaced in postal mailboxes as a terrorist weapon; but it's always been here, both in soil and livestock, before it became an industrialized disease. Richard Swiderski's methodical study of this killer disease, Anthrax: A History, reveals the development of the disease, from the 18th century discoveries made about the bacteria until modern times. An intriguing and timely history.
