A ",brilliant and sobering", (Paul Kennedy, Wall Street Journal)
look at the history and human costs of pandemic outbreaks The World
Economic Forum #1 book to read for context on the coronavirus
outbreak This sweeping exploration of the impact of epidemic
diseases looks at how mass infectious outbreaks have shaped
society, from the Black Death to today, and in a new preface
addresses the global threat of COVID-19. In a clear and accessible
style, Frank M. Snowden reveals the ways that diseases have not
only influenced medical science and public health, but also
transformed the arts, religion, intellectual history, and warfare.A
multidisciplinary and comparative investigation of the medical and
social history of the major epidemics, this volume touches on
themes such as the evolution of medical therapy, plague literature,
poverty, the environment, and mass hysteria. In addition to
providing historical perspective on diseases such as smallpox,
cholera, and tuberculosis, Snowden examines the fallout from recent
epidemics such as HIV/AIDS, SARS, and Ebola and the question of the
world's preparedness for the next generation of diseases.
