The environmental, political, economic, and social impacts of the plague from Ancient Greece to the modern day are examined. Chapters explore the identity of plague DNA, its human mortality, and the source of ancient and modern plagues. This book also discusses the role plague has played in shifting power from Mediterranean Europe to north-western Europe during the 500 years that plague has raged across the continent. The book demonstrates how recent colonial structures influenced the spread and mortality of plague while changing colonial histories. In addition, this book provides critical insight into how plague has shaped modern medicine, public health, and disease monitoring, and what role, if any, it might play as a terror weapon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe scope and breadth of \u003ci\u003eGeographies of Plague Pandemics\u003c\/i\u003e offers geographers, historians, biologists, and public health educators the opportunity to explore the deep connections among disease and human existence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Welford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 036759241X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367592417\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/14\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.53lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.35d","brand":"Mark Welford","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43943013056767,"sku":"9780367592417","price":52.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_f61ae862-5355-495e-b0ed-c461dcd93699.jpg?v=1681495706","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/geographies-of-plague-pandemics-mark-welford-9780367592417","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
