    Inside the outbreaks

    For four thousand years, the size and vitality of cities, economies, and empires were heavily determined by infection. Striking humanity in waves, the cycle of plagues set the tempo of civilizational growth and decline. But the unprecedented hygiene and medical revolutions of the past two centuries have allowed humanity to free itself from the hold of epidemic cycles.

    However, our development has lately become precarious. Greater global cooperation toward sustainable health is urgently required--such as the international efforts to harvest a Covid-19 vaccine.

    Written as colorful history, The Plague Cycle reveals the relationship between civilization, globalization, prosperity, and infectious disease over the past five millennia.
