Wisdom of Whores by Elizabeth Pisani
Offers an overview of a universe of brothels and bureaucracies, of bickering junkies and squabbling charities, of men who sell sex and men who would rather prohibit it. Illustrating science with tales from the frontlines of sex and drugs, this book explains how we could shut down HIV everywhere except sub-Saharan Africa.

She has also written for the International Herald Tribune, the Financial Times, and other publications. She has a London MSc in Medical Demography and a PHD in Infectious Disease Epidemiology.
