Description
8vo, original gold littered red cloth /No Jacket. Reprint of First Edition. The classic study of the scourge of typhus, telling the story of "the enormous influence of epidemics on the history of the world.". There are few topics more distressing than disease, yet there are few books more darkly delightful than this timeless classic about the histories of microbial diseases, rats, and lice, and the scientists and doctors who combated them. First published in 1934 and still in print, this book combines science, history, biography, literature, and other fields into an elegant but grim package of broad erudition and darker humor. (Key Words: Disease, Rats, Lice, Bacillus, The Plague, Typhus Virus, Hans Zinsser, Epidemiology, Flea Borne, Pestilence )
