Editorial Review

“In the mid-twentieth century, malaria was severely curtailed or eradicated in many places. Now it has returned and is spreading. Eight chapters clearly cover malaria’s long history, how it is spread, why it’s resurging, and what’s being done to fight it. Photographs show germ-spreading mosquitoes, malaria victims, and people working to conquer the disease. Maps, micrographs, diagrams, and text boxes enhance the information.” —The Horn Book Guide
