| Across the globe, new infectious diseases are emerging, and long dormant ones are resurfacing. The ease and speed of international travel means an outbreak can spread throughout the world in a matter of hours. In Rx for Survival, a companion book to the PBS series airing in November, award-winning journalist Philip J. Hilts explores this looming threat and what steps must be taken to confront it.
