Requests:  0 Summary:  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.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 614.49 Sn Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 614.49 Snowden Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 614.49 Sn Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 614.49 Sn Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mountain View P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 614.49 Sn Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 614.49 Sn Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waipahu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 614.49 Sn Checked In Add Copy to MyList
