Fighting the Plague In SeventeenthCentury Italy 9780299083441 Medicine Health Science Books Reviews

• This is a most interesting, well documented short book.It is amazing how city administrations attempted to fight the unknown enemy, the plague in the 17th century Italy.I just wonder what do we do in our life in this modern age. We see the problems of racism see the terrible number of victims, perhaps do not know the cause and our attempts to overcome go in vain.Pollution, overpopulation are on the same level. Hopefully our efforts will seem the same misguided in 300 years time. I mean there will be people to judge, as we are now to appreciate the Italian efforts of the historic times.
  Tamas Fenyvesi
• A fascinating narrative by a master writer/historian, supported by copious quantitative evidence.
