The virtue of an interdisciplinary and multi-authored collection
such as this one is that it can gather the necessary range of
expertise to look into the complexities of disease and environment
from different perspectives - allowing for both a scientifically-
and culturally-minded readership to find interest in the discussion
of epidemic and other disease. The volume brings environmental
history into dialogue with the histories of medicine, science, and
environmental thought, reflecting one of the best new trends in
current scholarship on the relationship between humanity and
non-human Nature. This edited volume will be the first to provide
students and scholars with a comprehensive look at both how the
environment is implicated in pre-modern disease regimes and how
contemporary populations made efforts to mitigate the challenges
that these disease regimes generated. It is also the first volume
to take a long view by examining the environment-disease
relationship across the traditional medieval-early modern divide to
show both change and continuity.
