520    "Critical Government Documents on Health Care reviews of 
       many of the major health issues facing us today. The book 
       does not offer any new information nor attempt to take 
       sides. Instead, it is an attempt to gather together 
       information from as many sources as possible and presents 
       arguments for and against the issues covered so that you 
       the reader can come to your own conclusions. Areas covered
       include killer diseases such as heart disease, cancer, 
       stroke, respiratory diseases and obesity. It discusses the
       arguments for and against immunization and looks at issues
       which impact your health such as the environment and 
       pollution. There is a detailed section on Alzheimers 
       disease and other forms of dementia and the problems it 
       poses for healthcare providers and caregivers, and this is
       coupled with all the other issues that arise from a 
       growing aging population. Finally the book discusses 
       external threats such as pandemics, Ebola and other 
       diseases that can rapidly spread from continent to 
       continent and what is and should be done to contain them"-
