From the political right as exemplified by the Fox News channel, to the right as represented by ‘Real Time with Bill Maher’, the American public is deluged with misinformation, misrepresentation, hysteric demagoguery, and fear mongering when it comes to the Swine Flu phenomena. It’s high time the public had a rational, reasoned, non-emotional source of sound information on the subject and that’s why “Swine Flu / H1N1: The Facts” by Professor Terence Stephenson (President of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child health, United Kingdom) is such a welcome relief to the popular hysteria arising from the wide-spread (and often politically motivated) confusion concerning this particular form of influenza. Professor Stephenson knowledgeably addresses such issues as the nature of HIN1 fly; its degree of hazard for children, its symptoms, treatments, vaccines, and prevention. Of special note is the Professor Stephenson’s informed and informative text is couched in thoroughly ‘reader friendly’ language making it especially recommended for the non-specialized general reader and all community/school Health & Medicine reference collections.
