`Review from previous edition "The book is lovingly researched and
packed with fascinating anecdotes and I found it extremely
difficult to put down...No home is complete without this book, if
only as a reminder to wash your hands."'

the nature of viruses and their role in human diseases...The
Invisible Enemy is a clear and powerful beacon that penetrates the
increasingly dense fog of media reports, folklore and myths"'
