Everything readers ever wanted to know about deadly viruses, killer parasites, flesh-eating microbes, and other lifethreatening beasties but were afraid to ask

What disease, known as "the White Death" has killed 2 billion people, and counting?

What fatal disease lurks undetected in air conditioners and shower heads, waiting to become airborne?

How lethal is the Ebola virus, and will there ever be a cure for it?

How do you catch flesh-eating bacteria?

Killer Germs takes readers on a fascinating (sometimes horrifying) journey into the amazing world of viruses, bacteria, protozoa, fungi, and worms and explores the roles they have played in shaping the course of human history. From biblical plagues, to the AIDS crisis, to supergerms of the future, this updated and revised edition of the original covers the whole gamut of diseases that have threatened humanity since its origins.

It also includes a new chapter on the history of bioterrorism and the deplorable role it has played and is likely to play in the phenomenal diversity of diseases.

100% Cotton Pillows .
Color: White, Size: Queen Size Set of 2, Color: White, Size: Queen Size Set of 2
These pillows feel soft and fluffy without being too flat. They provide nice support for the neck and feel comfortable whether sleeping on your side or back. After several nights of use, they still keep their shape well and don’t feel too warm during the night. The set comes with two pillows, which makes it really practical for the bed.

Luxury Comfort and Perfect Support – Best Pillows Ever!
Color: White, Size: King Size Set of 2
I recently purchased the Serta Hotel collection Pillows White Goose Feather Down Fiber Gusseted, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice! These pillows are the perfect balance of softness and support — plush enough to feel luxurious, yet firm enough to keep my neck properly aligned all night. The gusseted edges really make a difference, helping the pillow hold its shape and look full even after weeks of use. The quality of the materials is excellent — the outer cover feels smooth and breathable, and there’s no feather poking out like with cheaper options. I also appreciate that they fluff back up easily after use, making the bed look hotel-perfect every morning. If you’re looking for comfortable, high-quality pillows that provide great value for the price, I highly recommend these. They’ve truly improved my sleep!

Good quality pillows
Color: White, Size: Queen Size Set of 2
These are very soft and supportive as advertised. W find them a little too thick for my taste (why I only gave 4 stars), but personal preference is very subjective with pillows. They are well made and high quality, and am happy with my purchase.

Overall, not that comfortable!
Color: White, Size: Queen Size Set of 2
Only okay. I find these pillows to be heavy, and not very conforming. Overall, not that great.

goose down pillows.
Color: White, Size: King Size Set of 2
Since receiving them, these king-size white goose down pillows have truly transformed my sleep. They are incredibly soft and fluffy to the touch, so plush it's hard to believe they hold their shape. Sleeping on them is like lying on a cloud. The 100% cotton cover adds extra comfort: it feels cool to the touch, breathes well throughout the night, and helps me maintain a comfortable temperature while I sleep. Furthermore, the "reinforced fiber" structure is noticeable: after several weeks of use, the pillows retain their support; they don't clump or lose their shape, ensuring consistently good rest. I find they have the ideal balance between firmness and softness: firm enough to support my neck and head, yet plush enough to adapt to my posture without creating pressure. This has improved my nights; I sleep more soundly and wake up with less stiffness in my neck. In short: these pillows combine luxury, comfort, and durability. If you're looking to improve your sleep quality with soft, firm, and breathable pillows—especially in king size—these are perfect. Definitely one of the best investments you can make for better sleep.
