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. 410 0$aOpen Yale courses series. 606 $aEpidemics$xHistory 606 $aEpidemics 606 $aPublic health 606 $aCommunicable diseases$xHistory 606 $aEpidemics 606 $aEpidemiology 615 0$aEpidemics$xHistory. 615 0$aEpidemics. 615 0$aPublic health. 615 0$aCommunicable diseases$xHistory. 615 2$aEpidemics. 615 2$aEpidemiology. 676 $a614.4/9 686 $a28.24.08$2EP-CLASS 700 $aSnowden$b Frank M$g(Frank Martin),$f1946-$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0140560 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819426003321 996 $aEpidemics and society$94178613 997 $aUNINA
