Pathogenesis: A History of the World in Eight Plagues by Jonathan Kennedy

challenging dark hopeful informative slow-paced

5.0

This book is amazing. Anyone interested in public health, history or infectious diseases will love it. But it should also reach a wider audience. We are in a time period where we are noticing again that infectious diseases aren’t gone, they never were. And like everything else, looking at history can help us make informed decisions. The last few chapters particularly are a call to action against inequality.
