Is it true that Christopher Columbus brought a new kind of syphilis to Europe? What do the child of the Lewis family and the eleventh president of the United States have in common? Are tuberculosis and vampires related?
Lydia Kang and Nate Pedersen's book is a fascinating illustrated history of infectious disease epidemics: how they emerge, how they spread, what makes it possible to diagnose them, and how we rush to destroy them before they destroy us. Plague, smallpox, leprosy, typhus, rabies, measles, anthrax, hepatitis, Ebola, HIV, coronavirus - how well is humanity coping with these diseases and is there any chance of defeating them once and for all?
