The Fever: How Malaria Has Ruled Humankind for 500,000 Years by Sonia Shah
3.0
Interesting to learn about the history of malaria and the effect it has on society. It hewed a little too much to editorializing in parts with a definite bias instead of showing both sides of the debate on how to control malaria.
Also, one thing that bothered me but was small is that her footnotes don't seem to follow a standard style and don't follow a standard format throughout the book. She also cites references in other books that reference even another book. That is just poor research on the writer's part and wouldn't even pass the sniff test of a high school teacher.
