The hot zone by preston richards.

Question

why is this book important to studies in science.

Answer 1

It is a good example of things getting out almost out of control in what after the fact was an obviously stupid way.  

Also, although most people seem to miss it, the real point of the story is the way things eventually went right.  The safety back system did work.  It is not clear whether the back up system would have worked with other people in the "hero's" place

Answer 2

You should read it, it's my favorite book. It details the journey of an ebola outbreak in a U.S. monkey research facility and the people involved in controlling the situation.

Answer 3

Real life tale of E. Bola, one of the deadliest viruses known to man.
