The book will examine all the possible infectious diseases present in ancient times and show that life was a daily struggle for survival either avoiding or fighting against these infectious disease epidemics. The book will argue that infectious disease epidemics are a critical link in the chain of causation for the demise of most civilizations in the ancient world and that ancient historians should no longer ignore them, as is currently the case.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Philip Norrie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3319289365\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783319289366\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/05\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 155\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Philip Norrie","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43983459057919,"sku":"9783319289366","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_25df9e1a-6975-4c54-9b46-a427c0995a5c.jpg?v=1683266770","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-history-of-disease-in-philip-norrie-9783319289366","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
