Patient Zero: A Curious History of the World's Worst Diseases by Nate Pedersen, Lydia Kang
5.0
Thanks to Netgalley and Workman Publishing Company for the ARC of this in exchange for my honest review.
This was really interesting and easy to follow. There was a good number of relevant illustrations, a decent variety of illnesses discussed, and it had a very story like quality - we looked at the individuals and areas that an illness was being spread - it wasn’t dry or academic feeling, and I think anyone interested in infectious diseases and how they get started and spread, or just interested in history, could pick this up without much for knowledge and could follow along, pretty much at any age, even though it’s written to an adult audience.
