Walker, Richard. Epidemics & Plagues. Kingfisher: 2006. ISBN: 9780753460351. Ages 11-15.
Epidemics and Plagues is a short, visual book with lots of pictures. Walker makes a pitiful attempt of giving information in short, large font paragraphs on each page. However the picture captions give lots of useful information that isn't obvious. The book's pictures were high quality, interesting, and well-described. I learned a decent amount of knowledge in this book but it is made for more of a research project reader. The book also includes ways of retrieving more information on websites and places one can go to learn more. The book makes me wish I had it on a a project about germs.
