I am glad I read the book but when the author attacked smoking, a popular thing to protest rather than being equally forthright about other lifestyle choices that are not popular to attack, I lost respect for him and even wondered how fully informed I was being.Sharon Wilfonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17466621290140789056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-948826710613032587.post-8793285587341886302016-11-18T23:44:25.793-08:002016-11-18T23:44:25.793-08:00I love books like this also, Sharon.

Unfortunately, my local library encourages to buy a lot of books because of their sheer lack of options.<br />But I'm being negative.

It looks so interesting and it is certainly important.<br /><br />I like the way that you explained lesions and "fighters" was neat and understandable. This sort of stuff fascinates me. Not only do I need to read this but I also need to read more science books in general.Brian Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15139559400312336791noreply@blogger.com
