So you know.
This is a book for young adults with reading deficiencies.Often, young adults with reading difficulties are not interested in the topics of books at reading levels at which they are proficient, especially if that level is three to four years below their true age.Books such as this are meant to get such children to read, even if the topic is somewhat unconventional.This book is not meant for adults, unless they are looking for the most cursory overview of these weapons.

Disappointing for this Physician
I was hoping to find something that would be more medically related to specific symptoms and treatment options when considering this horrific possibility.The book did a good job of describing the Saran attack in Japan. ... Read more
