I didnt know that Canary in a coal mine refers to the use of Canary as an Animal sentinel.

This is a great book with a mismatched title. I wasnt prepared for overwhelming statistics of the history of bird flu and how it spreads through chicken/pigs and to horses and men.
I hadnt read much on the SARS, so the concept of some chicken being used as sentinel to warn us of impending danger is interesting. The concept of 'citizen scientists' too is interesting. But somewhere in recruiting the citizen scientists through the book, the chasm between citizen and scientist has remained wide and gaping.
The book has the potential of being 'The Natural History of bird flu' if written with lay men in mind.
