About this product

Product Information

A timely and critically acclaimed 100-year history of pandemics, by medical historian and viral TED talk presenter - with a new chapter on COVID-19. A Financial Times Best Book of the Year The most timely and informative history book you will read this year, tracing a century of pandemics, with a new chapter on COVID-19. Ever since the 1918 Spanish influenza pandemic, scientists have dreamed of preventing catastrophic outbreaks of infectious disease. Yet, despite a century of medical progress, viral and bacterial disasters continue to take us by surprise, inciting panic and dominating news cycles. From the Spanish flu and the 1924 outbreak of pneumonic plague in Los Angeles, to the 1930 'parrot fever' pandemic and the more recent SARS, Ebola, Zika and - now - COVID-19 epidemics, the last 100 years have been marked by a succession of unanticipated pandemic alarms. In The Pandemic Century, Mark Honigsbaum chronicles 100 years of history in 10 outbreaks. Bringing us right up-to-date with a new chapter on COVID-19, this fast-paced, critically-acclaimed book combines science history, medical sociology and thrilling front-line reportage to deliver the story of our times. As we meet dedicated disease detectives, obstructive public health officials, and gifted scientists often blinded by their own expertise, we come face-to-face with the brilliance and medical hubris shaping both the frontier of science - and the future of humanity's survival.

    Excellent Quality. Brand New. Looks AMAZING! Seller's price UNBEATABLE. I'd buy from this Seller again. Description spot on. Seller's communication XL+, very helpful & pleasant. Packaging XL+. I was afraid to open package. It's like opening a Xmas present w/o the Gift wrap. Post cost definitely XL+ being FREE. Excellent delivery time. Arrived earlier than predicted, considering our mail usually takes over 2wk 1199km from Brisbane, bcoz we're remote. 10Q very much. XL+

    CD was brand new and sealed as described, superb value.When it did not arrive by the estimate I contacted the seller and they got back to me that day, explaining about the backlog at the post office( Christmas and new year) and requesting me to wait a couple of days so I did and it was delivered in that time. Excellent customer service, very happy, having purchased here before . Packaging was fine, no damage to items enclosed. 🙂🙂

    My item arrived but it wasn’t the colour advertised however, after contacting the seller they replied quickly, they were so apologetic and offered a partial refund which I gladly accepted. We all make mistakes but it’s how it’s dealt with that counts and this seller was great. The record was still new, the packaging was good quality so it arrived without any damage and the record is in perfect condition. The price was fair too. I’m still happy overall and I would buy from this seller again.
