2014年的埃博拉疫情展示了大流行病的力量，它们不仅能够摧毁当地的生命，而且能够在全世界范围内引发想象力。流行病：《简明介绍》简要而全面地介绍了人类历史上的流行病，说明了流行病--包括鼠疫、结核病、疟疾、天花、霍乱、流感、艾滋病毒/艾滋病和新冠肺炎--如何塑造了历史，以及人类历史如何塑造了流行病。通过考虑医学研究的爆炸和不同的国家反应，如隔离和旅行限制，这本非常简短的介绍显示了为什么流行病从医学的角度来看都很有趣，并提供了对他们那个时代的文化和政治的见解。
The 2014 Ebola epidemic demonstrated the power of pandemics and their ability not only to destroy lives locally but also to capture imaginations worldwide. Pandemics: A Very Short Introduction provides a concise yet comprehensive account of pandemics throughout human history, illustrating the ways in which pandemic disease—including plague, tuberculosis, malaria, smallpox, cholera, influenza, HIV/AIDS, and Covid 19—has shaped history and how human history has shaped pandemic disease. By considering the explosion of medical research and the varying state responses, such as quarantine and travel restrictions, this Very Short Introduction shows why pandemics are both interesting from a medical standpoint and provide insight into the culture and politics of their time.
