Rabid: A Cultural History of the World's Most Diabolical Virus
The issues I have with Rabid have more to do with my expectations than with the book's intentions.

Sure, reading about rabies in culture yields interesting tidbits, but none of them really compare to reading about a disease that turns your brain against your most basic instincts.
