Deadly germs sprayed in malls, anthrax bomblets over battlefields, and plague vials in Times Square represent a new kind of threat—biological weapons that can be produced in simple labs. This investigative work reveals the alarming rise of biowarfare and bioterrorism as a national nightmare. Among the revelations are the CIA's secret development of a Soviet-designed germ bomb, which raised concerns about compliance with global treaties. The Pentagon's attempts to create a superbug and the USSR's extensive biological weapons program, including human testing, are also detailed. The narrative covers the chaotic U.S. response to Iraq's biological weapons during the 1991 Gulf War and a bio-terrorism incident in Oregon that sickened hundreds, which the government downplayed to prevent panic. Plans from the 1960s to use germ weapons against Cuba are discussed, alongside a controversial multibillion-dollar program initiated by Bill Clinton to detect and respond to germ attacks. Based on hundreds of interviews and declassified documents, the work highlights the ongoing struggle against bioweapons, showcasing scientists and officials dedicated to both developing and preventing the misuse of biological weapons. The narrative underscores the potential for germs to become the weapon of the 21st century due to advances in biology and the spread of expertise to rogue states.
* A sober, frightening yet unforgettable narrative of cutting-edge science and spycraft The atrocities in New York and Washington on 11 September have highlighted as never before the Western world's vulnerability to terrorist attacks of all kinds.

Bio-terrorism, the subject of this book, is at the heart of many fears: the poor man's hydrogen bomb, a biological weapon of mass destruction can be made in a laboratory and transported in a briefcase -- yet it can silently devastate an entire population. This chillingly authoritative report reveals the spread of germ weaponry throughout the world and the massive, and until now largely undisclosed, effort to stop it. Readers see first-hand the vast extent of the Soviet Union's biological weapons program, with its rows of silos filled with tons of anthrax germs. They learn of efforts by Iran, Iraq and other rogue states to recruit the scientists who created this horror. And they learn of the West's secret effort to thwart the spread of such germ technology to those who would use science not to heal but t

With evocative text by Judith Miller and inspiring photographs by James Merrell, "Wooden Houses" explores the decorative potential of wood in our homes. Wooden houses range from Midwestern prairie clapboard houses with wraparound porches to wood-framed barns converted into airy living spaces. Wood has always played a part in consturction, architecture, and interior decoration and has long been valued for its practical benefits. Its insulating qualities, for example,made it an obvious choice for Scandinavian homes, and so the familiar log houses came into existence. But the vast decorative potential of wood has ensured its continued use, as evidenced by 19th-century houses with elaborately carved gables and bargeboards. Indoors, wood surrounds us in many ways. Structural elements such as oak-beamed and vaulted ceilings become features in their own right. Wood can also be used as further embellishement in the form of beautiful paneling or carved and turned banisters and staircases, and in original furniture designs. Whether it is left in its natural state to show the variety of grains and depths of colours, or used as a canvas for paint techniques, wood is a beautiful resource.*A celebration of the natural beauty of wood in decoration, interiors, and architecture.*Includes an introduction to the main architchtural styles.
