book. Edited by Kenneth F. Kiple, its thesis is that the contemporary world has
been shaped by disease and its eradication, which the writers enthusiastically
prove by considering every major affliction and its origin throughout history.
Well done and magnificently illustrated, it is nevertheless too ghoulish to take
in anything but small doses. Published by Weidenfeld and Nicolson, 拢25,
ISBN 0297822543.
