#1 New York Times bestseller

"Barry will teach you almost everything you need to know about one of the deadliest outbreaks in human history."--Bill Gates, GatesNotes.com

"Monumental... an authoritative and disturbing morality tale."--Chicago Tribune

The strongest weapon against pandemic is the truth. Read why in the definitive account of the 1918 Flu Epidemic.

Magisterial in its breadth of perspective and depth of research, The Great Influenza provides us with a precise and sobering model as we confront the epidemics looming on our own horizon. As Barry concludes, "The final lesson of 1918, a simple one yet one most difficult to execute, is that...those in authority must retain the public's trust. The way to do that is to distort nothing, to put the best face on nothing, to try to manipulate no one. Lincoln said that first, and best. A leader must make whatever horror exists concrete. Only then will people be able to break it apart."

At the height of World War I, history's most lethal influenza virus erupted in an army camp in Kansas, moved east with American troops, then exploded, killing as many as 100 million people worldwide. It killed more people in twenty-four months than AIDS killed in twenty-four years, more in a year than the Black Death killed in a century. But this was not the Middle Ages, and 1918 marked the first collision of science and epidemic disease.

Seems like it provides good coverage
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I am very much liking this for the sunscreen properties. It should be noted that your face will be white and it's hard to meld into your natural skin tones. However I'm more concerned with something that works

reliable everyday sunscreen
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
this product goes on smoother than many mineral sunscreens I’ve tried and doesn’t leave an overly thick or greasy feeling on the skin. The protection lasts well during outdoor activities, and the water resistance makes it great for the beach, workouts, or long walks in the sun.

Greasy and ineffective
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This sunscreen is so greasy that it just slides off your skin. I've used a ton several times and still gotten sunburn within an hour.

Great lotion!
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
One of the very few daily body and face lotion that has no bad ingredients. Free of fragrance, dyes, parabens. It adds moisture without the greasy feel.
