520    "When a new influenza virus emerges that is able to be 
       transmitted between humans, it spreads globally as a 
       pandemic, often with high mortality. Enormous social 
       disruption and substantial economic cost can result. The 
       1918 Spanish influenza pandemic was undoubtedly the most 
       devastating influenza pandemic to date, and it has been Dr
       Robert Webster's life's work to figure out how and why. In
       so doing he has made a remarkable contribution to our 
       understanding of the evolution of influenza viruses and 
       how to control them. A century on, Flu Hunter is a 
       gripping account of the tenacious scientific detective 
       work involved in revealing the secrets of this killer 
       virus. Dubbed `Flu Hunter' by Smithsonian Magazine in 2006,
       Dr Webster began his research in the early 1960s with the 
       insight that the natural ecology of most influenza viruses
       is among wild aquatic birds. Painstaking tracking and 
       testing of thousands of birds eventually led him and the 
       other scientists involved to establish a link between 
       these bird virus `reservoirs' and human influenza 
       pandemics. Some of this fascinating scientific work 
       involved exhuming bodies of Spanish flu victims from the 
       Arctic permafrost in a search for tissue samples 
       containing genetic material from the virus. Could a global
       influenza pandemic occur again? Webster's warning is clear
       : ` ... it is not only possible, it is just a matter of 
       when.' --Publisher.
