About the Book
PROGNOSIS DISASTER is a book about human induced environmental change and disease. Climate change, global warming and deforestation threaten human, animal and plant populations with disease more virulent than previously known. The majority of this book deals with how human influence the creation and spread of diseases old and new. This book will be useful as a reference on disease and environmental science, and as a call to action. Unless we take active measures now to stem pollution and greed, all life on the planet is doomed. The choice is yours.
