	Singing for Life: HIV/AIDS and Music in Uganda
	By: Gregory Barz ISBN: 0415972906 Publisher: Routledge Release Date: 30 November, 2005 Bioscience book rank: 249714	I had the opportunity to hear Dr. Barz speak to one of my classes this semester, and we read a chapter of this book before it was released. He is an amazing person who is so immersed in his work. He is passionate and incredibly intelligent. His book is compelling and really is a great way to see how Uganda has turned the tide on AIDS. It is great to see the way that Western traditions were abandoned and with great success!
	Witches, Westerners, And HIV: AIDS And Cultures of Blame in Africa
	By: Alexander Rodlach ISBN: 1598740342 Publisher: Left Coast Press Release Date: 15 October, 2006 Bioscience book rank: 479348	Written by anthropologist and former missionary working in Zimbabwe Alexander Rodlach , Witches, Westerners, and HIV: Aids & Cultures of Blame in Africa is a serious-minded examination of cultural and social beliefs that give rise to harmful conspiracy theories and sometimes pose seemingly intractable barriers against attempts to prevent HIV/AIDS in the nation of Zimbabwe. Though Zimbabwe culture is the primary focus, the general insights of Witches, Westerners, and HIV are no doubt applicable to most if not all African nations suffering from the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Witches, Westerners, and HIV dissects cultural misunderstandings at length, from cultural beliefs in sorcery (including the idea that sorcerers use the power to spread HIV/AIDS) that provide an explanation for why the terrible disease afflicts good people; to the history of harm caused by colonialism as motivation for conspiracy theories that Western institutions are withholding a cure for HIV/AIDS or actually spreading HIV/AIDS by "distributing infected condoms" and the like; to the massacres the government carried out against perceived dissidents that have left lingering fear against speaking freely; to the need for receptive listening when interviewing Zimbabweans due to cultural tendencies to speak in metaphorical terms. An absolute "must-read" for any health care or other professionals seeking to learn lessons from tragic failures of the past and better understand how to be effective in African nations in general and Zimbabwe in particular. Highly recommended.

	The River: A Journey to the Source of HIV and AIDS
	By: Edward Hooper, Bill Hamilton ISBN: 0316371378 Publisher: Back Bay Books Release Date: 01 December, 2000 Bioscience book rank: 188950	We should be looking more at what organizations are doing to people in Africa, and why so many Africans are suspicious of supposed humanitarians. All we see in television documentaries is a condescending attitude that "they" just don't understand science but rarely do they show the results of several known incidents of tainted vaccines, let alone those that are only suspected but with no proof. <br /> <br />More than just pointing fingers, if the hypothesis is true, it could lead to a cure if only the mainstream would look into it. How much information could researchers glean if this was the source, and they could backtrack the steps? <br /> <br />I bet it would help a lot! <br /> <br />The book should be put back into print. <br /> Edward Hooper has written an amazingly researched hypothesis on the origin of the AIDS virus. He takes us back to the 50's around the region of the Congo River where clinical trials are being conducted on polio vaccines. The race is on whereas the scientist who can come up with the most accepted from of a polio vaccine will have ensured their place in medical history. In the race for fame and prize could scientists have unknowingly released a virus that will kill millions? The facts presented by Hooper are scary and convincing, it all makes sense as the dots are connected in this meticulously research book but the final piece will probaly never be found or admitted to and while this book leaves a strong impression, it remains what it is, a theory that might not be able to be proven. Too bad. As a Biology and Pre-med student in 1999, I purchased this book fresh off the shelf, when it was first being sold. Dedicated to the world of science and research, I was eager to learn more about health, science, diseases, and the epidemic called AIDS. <br /> <br />As other reviewers have stated, this book is an excellent body of investigative research. It is also speculative in some instances to bridge the gaps between science and reality. I believe Hooper stayed as neutral as possible. He did interview many people, but guards against letting contaminate his own views in recording the evidence. The results are very clear and concise. The answers are all supported very thoroughly. <br /> <br />This book was inspiring to me because it opened the eyes of a dedicated young scientist (myself) to the dangers of science. There is corruption in every system, even one founded on saving people's lives! For the love of humanity, I do not understand how competition and greed has been so interlaced with our medical system from researchers to personal doctors, but it has. People should know the truth. This book takes one huge step towards revealing it! Aids is not the only epidemic or disease created by our own hands. <br /> <br /> <br />Thank you Mr. Hooper! <br /> <br />~SS

	By: Maureen E. Lyon, Lawrence J. D'Angelo ISBN: 0275988929 Publisher: Praeger Publishers Release Date: 30 September, 2006 Bioscience book rank: 505239	I have been working in the HIV/AIDS field for fifteen years and have been waiting for a book like this. Dr. Lyon and Dr. D'Angelo are two heroes of mine who have captured the balance between the voices of youth and the voices of experts in the field. I recommend this book for professionals as well as for individuals interested in understanding more about how HIV is changing the world for young people. <br /> <br />-Adam Tenner <br />Executive Director <br />Metro TeenAIDS <br />Washington, DC <br />www.metroteenaids.org <br /> <br />
