In my debut mass-market book, I present ten different epidemics that history has grappled with in ten different chapters. Each chapter then has 3 “take-aways” for readers to use in discussing public health recommendations with their family, or in making their own decision, based in qualitative evidence of how societies have dealt with epidemics in the past. Published with Tiller Press, an imprint of Simon & Schuster. *NB: While this book draws on my research in this field, the text is for lay audiences, rather than academics specifically.
