Evolution of Health Concerns: Pandemics of the Past and Present

By: Smith, Kaelyn

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Health Concerns have had a major impact on civilizations since the dawn of time. While pandemics on the scale of the Black Plague are considered a thing of the past, the reality is that new health concerns have replaced the old and while they do not eliminate large percentages of a single society, they are still major causes for concern. This book traces the history of human health concerns through examining the major pandemics of history and the major health concerns of the modern world. From the Bubonic Plague of the Middle Ages to HIV/AIDS, this book highlights the realities of the diseases, their impact on individuals and societies and the development of treatments.
