Sommario/riassunto

This timely book covers the basic concepts of the dynamics of epidemic disease, presenting various kinds of models as well as typical research methods and results. It introduces the latest results in the current literature, especially those obtained by highly rated Chinese scholars. A lot of attention is paid to the qualitative analysis of models, the sheer variety of models, and the frontiers of mathematical epidemiology. The process and key steps in epidemiological modeling and prediction are highlighted, using transmission models of HIV/AIDS, SARS, and tuberculosis as application examples.

Sommario/riassunto

Apparition Fever examines a series of Marian apparitions that swept over Belgium in the 1930s and '40s, tracing how knowledge of the apparitions was formed among bystanders, medical experts, and church authorities as they decided if the visionaries were worthy of belief.
