More than three hundred infectious diseases have emerged or reemerged in new territory during the past fifty years, and 90 percent of epidemiologists expect that one of them will cause a disruptive, deadly pandemic sometime in the next two generations. To reveal how that might happen, Sonia Shah tracks each stage of cholera's dramatic journey from harmless microbe to world-changing pandemic, from its 1817 emergence in the South Asian hinterlands to its rapid dispersal across the nineteenth- century world and its latest beachhead in Haiti. She reports on the pathogens following in cholera's footsteps, from the MRSA bacterium that besieges her own family to the never-before-seen killers emerging from China's wet markets, the surgical wards of New Delhi, the slums of Port-au-Prince, and the suburban backyards of the East Coast. By delving into the convoluted science, strange politics, and checkered history of one of the world's deadliest diseases, Pandemic reveals what the next epidemic might look like-and what we can do to prevent it" --|cProvided by publisher. 520 "Interweaving history, original reportage, and personal narrative, Pandemic explores the origins of epidemics, drawing parallels between the story of cholera--one of history's most disruptive and deadly pathogens--and the new pathogens that stalk humankind today"--|cProvided by publisher. 533 Electronic reproduction.|bNew York|cPenguin Random House Audio Publishing Group|d2016|nAvailable via World Wide Web. 650 0 Communicable diseases|xEpidemiology|xHistory.|vSound recordings. 650 0 Public health surveillance.|vSound recordings. 650 0 Epidemics|vHistory.|vSound recordings. 655 7 Electronic audio books.|2local 710 2 OverDrive, Inc.,|edistributor. 856 40 |zClick here to access this title using your Naperville Public Library card|uhttps://naperville.overdrive.com/ media/2348416 856 42 |zClick here to access excerpt|uhttps:// excerpts.cdn.overdrive.com/FormatType-425/1191-1/2348416- Pandemic.mp3
