The Top Ten Diseases of All Time (häftad, eng)
Produktbeskrivning
Many religious practices, such as avoiding certain meats, were established because of foodborne disease transmission._x000D__x000D_In The Top Ten Diseases of All Time, Stacey Smith? presents the top ten deadliest diseases and their effects on society, providing a wealth of information about the trajectory and terrible impact of each disease, and humanity’s reaction to these diseases throughout the millennia._x000D__x000D_Did you know, for example, that:_x000D__x000D_-The medical symbol evolved from the worms wrapped around a stick, because that was the only way to remove Guinea worms from the body, so having a stick meant you were a doctor._x000D__x000D_-Smallpox is the third-worst disease ever, yet it remains the only successfully eradicated human disease (but not for long!), thanks in part to a successful vaccine, in part to photographic recognition cards and in part due to helicopter-led forced vaccinations of whole villages in the former Yugoslavia.
This brings up issues of individual rights versus public good that remain relevant today._x000D__x000D_-Four diseases were targeted for eradication in the 20th century; the failure to do so led directly to the creation of the environmental movement._x000D__x000D_-The inability of priests to explain how to stop the plague in the Middle Ages broke the back of the church as an all-powerful and all-knowing institution and led to colonialism and slavery._x000D__x000D_The Top Ten Diseases of All Time offers a fascinating overview of the deadliest diseases to spread throughout the world, including HIV/AIDS, Spanish Flu, Measles, The Black Death, Smallpox and others.
