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, hi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1 Plague, its emergence and persistence through recent human history Chapter 2 The Athenian Pandemic Chapter 3 Antonine Pandemic and Justinianic Plague Chapter 4 The medieval Black Death Arrives in Europe Chapter 5 The scourge of \u003cem\u003eY. pestis\u003c\/em\u003e re-emerges and persists from 1361 to 1879 Chapter 6 Re-emergence in China and spread to Singapore, Taiwan, Bombay, San Francisco and Australia before 1901 Chapter 7 1901 to present Chapter 8 Weaponized Plague and Plague Surveillance\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50577813963095,"sku":"9781138234277","price":128.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781138234277.jpg?v=1746096789","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/geographies-of-plague-pandemics-9781138234277","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
