Robert Klitzman, an American doctor, lived among the natives of remotest
Papua New Guinea to investigate the fatal and incurable disease called kuru. Its
cause is infective protein, spread by cannibalistic feasts. The Trembling
Mountain, his readable mixture of autobiography, adventure story and research
report, shows that the apparently unique kuru has many parallels with BSE.
Klitzman fears the worst. Pictures in black-and-white, mostly black. Published
by Plenum, 拢16.94, ISBN 030645792X.
