4 out of 5 stars This book is not for everyone..........2005-03-05

While this book is not for everyone, I would recommend it for researchers who want more objective information on the British BSE situation. It was written before a confirmed case of the disease was found in the U.S., but still provides valuable background on the European development of the issue. The two chapters providing a content analysis of both the British and American media's framing of the disease were particularly helpful.

1 out of 5 stars Save Your Money.......2001-11-27

If you want to buy a book about mad cow diseases, check out Deadly Feasts or Mad Cow USA. This book edited by Ratzan is a disappointing hodge podge, disjointed and not interesting.

1 out of 5 stars I wasted my money.......1999-09-27

Many of the references were incorrect. Especially, the chapters on the scientific perspectives of BSE.
