Historia
In a clear, lively style, Barnes offers general overviews of every variety of disease and their carriers, from insects and worms through rodent vectors to household pets and farm animals. She devotes whole chapters to major infectious diseases such as leprosy, syphilis, smallpox, and influenza. Other chapters concentrate on categories of diseases ("gut bugs", for example, including cholera, typhus, and salmonella).

Book ruined by the reader
Revisado: 01-21-18
Would you try another book from Ethne Barnes and/or J. D. Smith Jr.?
I am fascinated by the topic and have now bought the book in written form. I can't really say how I feel about the book until I've read it.
Were the concepts of this book easy to follow, or were they too technical?
It was extremely difficult to overcome the awful mispronunciations and cadence at which the reader dashed through the book. It didn't seem to be too technical at all and the concepts were straight up.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
This writer should demand the book be reissued by Audible because this reader was the worst I have ever encountered.
Was Diseases and Human Evolution worth the listening time?
I was driven to distraction by this reader. Wish I had listened to a sample or read the reviews of the reader given by others.
Any additional comments?
Dreadful, awful, terrible reader. He should stick with his day job. Honestly, I did not want to write such a negative review about the reader but some people will blame the book's author for the tedious drone of mispronunciations. Better yet, he should get himself down to the Caribbean and let them illustrate how to speak the English language with some lovely inflection!!!! If I had to hear hemoglobin mispronounced one more time I was afraid I would wreck the car!!!
