The Wisdom of Whores: Bureaucrats, Brothels and the Business of Aids
Elizabeth Pisani
With wit and fierce honesty, an epidemiologist talks about sex, drugs, and the mistakes surrounding international AIDS prevention. Pisani reveals how easy it is to draw wrong conclusions from "objective" data and how much money is spent so very badly.
