These two guys from Canada (I think) have achieved an excellent balance between warning and reassuring about the expected pandemic. As a physician I have seen the effects of both panic and complacency in health matters and this publication avoids both. I am using it as the core of a teaching package for my family and friends as we try to prepare, within a budget. It is user friendly yet technically sophisticated, an unusual combination. The interface with the birdfluinsider.com website makes it easy to follow the constant changes in this world-wide phenomenon. Recommended without reservation.

Being a mother and a business woman I was concerned about Bird Flu for my family and my enterprise. The explanations in the book about avian influenza, the potential pandemic and how to prepare have given me a solid foundation to plan and research further.

The book proved to be an excellent starting point and I recommend Bird Flu Preparedness Planner as a companion book.
