520    When Peter Piot was in medical school, a professor warned,
       "There's no future in infectious diseases. They've all 
       been solved." Fortunately, Piot ignored him, and the 
       result has been an exceptional, adventure-filled career. 
       In the 1970s, as a young man, Piot was sent to Central 
       Africa as part of a team tasked with identifying a grisly 
       new virus. Crossing into the quarantine zone on the most 
       dangerous missions, he studied local customs to determine 
       how this disease--the Ebola virus--was spreading. Later, 
       Piot found himself in the field again when another 
       mysterious epidemic broke out: AIDS. He traveled 
       throughout Africa, leading the first international AIDS 
       initiatives there. Then, as founder and director of UNAIDS,
       he negotiated policies with leaders from Fidel Castro to 
       Thabo Mbeki and helped turn the tide of the epidemic. 
       Candid and engrossing, No Time to Lose captures the 
       urgency and excitement of being on the front lines in the 
       fight against today's deadliest diseases.
