Epidemics and the Modern World explores the relationships between
epidemics and key themes in modern history. Our institutions,
colonial structures, relationships to animals, and perceptions of
suffering, sexuality, race, and disability have all shaped - and
been shaped by - these significant medical events. This book uses
"biographies" of epidemics such as plague, tuberculosis, and
HIV/AIDS to explore the impact of disease on the development of
modern societies from the fourteenth century to the present.
Drawing on the most recent science of genetics, microbiology, and
climatology, this text includes "Science Focus" boxes that discuss
important scientific concepts and technologies. Structured workshop
sections with engaging primary sources help readers develop skills
of interpretation and gain knowledge of key historical events.
Epidemics and the Modern World assumes no prior experience with the
history of science or medicine and is accessible for undergraduate
students, while its challenging approach to the history of the
modern world will engage readers of all levels and all interests.
