A History of Epidemic Pestilences
Edward Bascome
From 1495 BC to the coming of cholera, Edward Bascome marches through humanity's great pestilences century by century. Plagues, sweating sickness and fevers are logged like weather in a long, grim almanac of contagion. A period chronicle of how earlier physicians understood mass death, valued today as history of medicine rather than diagnosis. Trace the outbreaks that shaped nations.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
