(4) YA Investigating Diseases series. In each volume, seven or eight chapters present facts about the title disease: how it develops or is transmitted, its symptoms, history, prevention, research, and hope for future treatment. The texts are accurate but dry and somewhat repetitive. Influenza relentlessly hammers home the need for vaccination. Text boxes present additional information and a few personal stories. Small photographs break up the pages. Reading list, timeline, websites. Bib., glos., ind. Review covers these Investigating Diseases titles: Investigating Diabetes, Investigating Eating Disorders, Investigating STDs, Investigating Influenza and Bird Flu, Investigating Tuberculosis and Superbugs, and Investigating Depression and Bipolar Disorder.
