Disease Maps by Tom Koch
Contends to understand epidemics and their history we need to think about maps of varying scale, from the individual body to shared symptoms evidenced across cities, nations, and the world. This title provides a review of epidemic mapping today and a detailed example of its power.
"This is a masterly book in conception and structureIt is also extremely well written. What we find on reading is an exquisite telling of the history of the medical science of disease. The collection of medical maps, diagrams, and other illustrations is impressive in scope-there are many disease maps shown that have not been publicly available before or collected in one place." -Michael Friendly, York University"
