The Human Condition health care series addresses nine basic subject areas including the human life cycle, heredity, sexual health, emotional and mental health, key nutrients, and healthy lifestyles. Case studies, interviews with experts, and location footage help sharpen the focus on each topic. This volume looks at some of the infectious diseases that threaten people's health on a daily basis. One segment profiles the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's attempt to identify new germs and stop them from harming people. ~ Elizabeth Smith, All Movie Guide
