This is a comprehensive resource on the pandemics that threaten our
world.Throughout history, pandemics have rapidly spread across
national and continental borders to inflict an insurmountable toll
on human life and suffering. From the Black Death in Asia and
Europe to the smallpox and polio outbreaks that decimated the
Americas, to the contemporary concerns over HIV/AIDS and the avian
flu, epidemics have been a continous threat to society and the
world.""Pandemics and Global Health"" begins with an introduction
that reviews major types of infectious agents and modes of
transmission and then provides a historical overview of infectious
diseases and our attempts to control epidemics. The introduction is
followed by detailed case studies of the United States, China,
Africa, and India. Each of these case studies outlines a recent
outbreak and the government's response, demonstrating the need for
transparency, government commitment, and adequate financing in the
fight against major diseases. Gathering key information on many
contemporary international public health issues, this is a valuable
resource for anyone wanting to become more informed on global
health concerns.
