520 _aShort 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
