The Speckled Monster: a Historical Tale of Battling Smallpox
"The Speckled Monster. The fascinating history of smallpox, how it shaped cultural and medical history. The book details the eradication of small pox. Think if you will someone saying to you - "If we give you a little live AIDS into your blood, you'll get sick. But, chances are you'll survive and then never get AIDS again." Would you take the risk? Have live active AIDS shot into your arm? That is what people who were inoculated against small pox were asked to do. It's amazing story.
An Excellent Host | Chelsea G. Summers
Somewhere in Brooklyn, a feast awaits its guests, and newbie realtor Shad cannot believe his great good luck. Callista, the gorgeous woman he’s been seeing, has booked an Airbnb for a private party and the invite list is intimate—just Shad, Callista and few of her closest, equally gorgeous friends. As the wine begins to flow, he is ready to lose himself in the “date of all dates,” but what comes next might undo Shad for good. In An Excellent Host, modern dating goes wildly awry as ancient gods prepare to receive their due in this tantalizing update to Greek myth. From the best-selling author of A Certain Hunger comes a delectable new story of decadence, subversion, and satisfaction worthy of Dionysus himself.
