Daniel Whitacore is a brilliant oncologist who discovers a way to use a deadly virus to treat lymphoma. His discovery is a miracle to those who suffer from the devastating disease. Unfortunately, Daniel has enemies. These enemies hope to alter his miracle cure to make it something deadly to harm Daniel as well as the entirety of mankind.

All of these people are soon intertwined by Daniel's scientific discovery, but will any of them get what they truly want?
Learning Disorders Across the Lifespan

The book reviews empirical research that suggests children need access to treatment for clinical components of SLDs that may respond to psychological intervention sep...
Johnson
