"For those panicked or puzzled by the current pandemic... [a] book
that couldn't be more timely, providing an accessible introduction
to epidemiology." * Kirkus *
'[A] compelling overview' * The Spectator *
'The topical Outbreaks and Epidemics ... is crammed with
information on the history and context of diseases we think we know
about. It explains how effective track and trace, combined with a
thorough vaccination programme, was crucial in the eradication of
smallpox, and why climate crisis and drug resistance make future
pandemics more likely. It even manages a last-minute update about
Covid-19. (We could have been a lot more ready if we'd really
wanted to be.)' -- Katy Guest * The Guardian, Best Science Books of
2020 *
