Cool list. And I don't believe I've actually read any of them. Not even the <i>Joy of Cooking</i>. Thanks for the lead on the <i>Uppity Girls</i> book. That does sound right up my alley. And your comments about <i>the control of communicable diseases in man</i> reminds me of how I took a class called "The Burden of Disease in Developing Countries at Brown right before we went to Brazil. When I took that trip to the Amazon, I found myself thinking, at various times, that I was putting myself at risk for catching a) cholera (drinking water from a cooler on a boat that turned out to be untreated river water) b) chagas disease (sleeping under a thatched roof) c) schistosomiasis (wading in fresh water wear little kids with enlarged abdomens were playing) not to mention d) malaria. It was a hoot. Wow. Cool list. And I don’t believe I’ve actually read any of them. Not even the Joy of Cooking. Thanks for the lead on the Uppity Girls book. That does sound right up my alley.
