  • Epidemics and society : from the Black Death to the present : with a new preface
    Snowden, Frank M., 1911-2007
    This sweeping exploration of the impact of epidemic diseases looks at how mass infectious outbreaks have shaped society, from the Black Death to today. 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. Snowden 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 and the question of the world's preparedness for the next generation of diseases, and in a new preface addresses the global threat of COVID-19.
