- catalog abstract "Annotation The acclaimed author of Civil War Medicine: Challenges and Triumphs has updated and revised this series of essays about changing disease patterns in history and some of the key events and people involved in them. It deals with the history of major outbreaks of disease - both infectious diseases such as plague and smallpox and noninfectious diseases - and shows how they are in many cases caused inadvertently by human actions, including warfare, commercial travel, social adaptations, and dietary modifications. To these are added timely new discussions of the intentional spreading of disease by acts of bioterrorism, the nature and background of those diseases that are feared to be potential candidates for intentional abuse by bioterrorists, as well as the rise of new infectious diseases such as SARS, whose recent outbreak in 2003 gives fresh new insights into the purpose of this book. Annotation - infectious diseases- non-infectious diseases- bioterrorism.".
